Planning and making a proper strategy to crack any examination is mandatory because if you will not be scheduled before and your study will be improper before the examination then there is no chance of your qualifying in examination so that if you are going to plan your study from now for CSAT - 2014 then you have thought a right idea in your mind and this will definitely help you in qualifying this examination because you have enough time to prepare for Indian Civil Service Examination 2014 and this time may be used as golden time for your selection

First of all I would like to suggest you to concentrate on preliminary examination of IAS 2014 because prelims examination is mandatory and that must be qualified to appear for main examination so this is your duty that you think about prelims first and if you once qualify prelims then you will get enough time to prepare for main examination where your prelims study will be helpful for main examination

There will be two papers in prelims examination that are - General Studies and CSAT and both papers will be conducted in objective type pattern and as I have mentioned that passing in prelims is mandatory so you have to work more for both papers to score more than minimum required qualifying marks and preparation for prelims is following :

There are different ways to prepare for this examination but once you get good knowledge in depth about syllabus, exam and question paper pattern etc. then you may prepare yourself but this is your starting and I would like to suggest you to find out a very good coaching institute in your area or outside if possible and start preparing for examination according to their instructions. Coaching institutes has well trained and qualified faculty that has years of experience of relevant study and examination so the can guide you more and better than us because they are professional in this way and have seen the life of this examination

Coaching Institute will provide you complete genuine study material, strategy to crack examination, various tricks to learn and solve questions, personality development, compulsory practice tests and online test series for CSAT 2014, monthly magazines etc. that are necessary for CSAT examination and the major facility is that you will see competition in coaching institute for this examination and when you will experience that lakhs of candidates prepare for this examination and appears every year so what you will have to do to qualify examination and because of this, you will study more and hard for exam to be qualified so this may create a positive atmosphere and thinking in the mind of aspirant

Next way to prepare for CSAT is to prepare yourself by using various books where no one is with you to make to understand you and guide you in the right direction that what to prepare from books but if you concentrate and good in every subject then you may prepare well but as being a new and fresher aspirant of civil service examination, you need guidance and support in preparation that can only be received in coaching institute by experienced faculties so choose the first way to prepare for this examination

Set time for every subject because coaching institute will teach you for around 6-7 hours everyday and you have to complete your all study within these 7 hours then come back to home, have some rest and start study according to your schedule. If you start to take coaching in morning batch from 8 to 4 PM then have some rest and give at least 6 hours again for your study and revision but do not start giving 6 hours everyday just after starting study because this may take you under pressure and frustration and you may loose your all interest of this examination so give 2 hours and after 15 days give more than 3 hours and when you complete 1 month then give 4 hours for revision. When you see that you are getting good strength in various subjects then give more time to those subjects which are touch but scoring in examination as all subjects asked in CSAT - Civil Service Aptitude Test and try to learn various short tricks and practice again and again for all questions that you solve before means each practice test must be solved at least twice then you will get good command over CSAT

General Studies is the subject where no limit of syllabus and study and if you complete all the notes and books according to the syllabus then also you will complete around 90% part of this paper because it has no limit and GK may be asked from anywhere so this is also important and give at least 3 hours everyday for revision of this subject and more than 3 hours for CSAT

Appear in every single speed test or practice test conducted by the coaching institute and check level of your study that what you have prepared for IAS examination and when you get the result then ask for details about your performance in test and analyze all the topics where you have got lacked and performed well and start working more on those topics, in which you did not score good marks because this is the only way to know your preparation details and try to score more marks than every single student in the coaching and score more than 90% marks in test then only you will be eligible to score more than 70% marks in preliminary examination of Indian Civil Service

When you go to appear for prelims examination then be confident and trust in yourself and in your study means you should not have any type of doubt related to your study that you have not completed any topic or left something and try to relate each question with your study because everything will be related to your study in examination but you just have to make your mind sharper and smarter to find our the correct answers and this thing demands more knowledge and knowledge demands for study in depth so do not take your legs behind from study and keep practicing continuously until you get passed in examination

You will get positive result in prelims then you will have the time of around 5-6 months to prepare for main examination and prepare for main examination can be done through practice only so practice is everything for being ahead in competition and this time, you need various books because main examination will have seven different papers and each paper will be of conventional type pattern where passing in each is also mandatory.

Study of General Studies subject of prelims examination may work for main exam because there will be four different papers for General Studies subject so you have to revise for these four papers by using various books and each book must be completed more than 15 times if you seriously wants to crack main examination because competition is stiff and lakhs of candidates will be shortlisted for main examination for only around 1000 posts so hardcore preparation is most mandatory to become an IAS Officer and your dedication will make history for you and your career will be brighter so burn for few days in preparation then you have to manage the country.

Two papers will be for optional subject selected by you and you will get the list so you have to be careful and choose a right and interesting subject and mostly related to your specialization subject of your degree so you could perform well and score good marks because final selection depends on the score so you have to study well for each paper and in depth study will work only for being eligible for personality test so work hard on that subject also to qualify both papers

Do not waste a single second and start the journey of your preparation and if possible then take some tips from your any related IAS Officer or friend who is preparing for the ICS so they may also give you right direction and if you wants to start study then first get more details about this examination by downloading this attached advertisement of UPSC ICS 2013
