Good Luck.........

just concentrate on your preparations for the exam and for the books, refer to the site www.civilserviceindia.com. continue reading newspapers daily as a part of your routine. as you have much less time, so don't indulge in studying new books-as that will just confuse you and you'll not be able to prepare and appear in the exam well. so, just focus on what you study or come accross any new concept or info, and practice more and more sample papers, as many you can till the date of the exam. on the day before the examination day, plan your schedule as you're doing it for the next day-wake up on-time and solve a sample paper taking in consideration, the time limit and calculating your score, from any means as you can. all the best.
