GS Mains Test Series

GS Mains Test Series

The MAIN EXAM TEST SERIES PROGRAMME from EliteIAS will help you prepare more effectively for the upcoming Main Exam for CSE 2022. The Main Exam Test Series Programme has been designed in a way that offers extensive evaluation, feedback, and mentorship sessions in addition to continual writing practice through exams.

The program’s goal is to improve your language proficiency, analytical thinking, and writing abilities so that you are “Exam Ready” and may pass the Civil Services Examination’s most difficult stage.

Why Do you Need a Mentor?

  • Every person needs a mentor at some point in their life, and the UPSC is a life span unto itself.
  • If his coach or mentor was not there to mentor him, not even the God of Cricket (Sachin Tendulkar) would be able to achieve the championship.
  • In a similar manner, you require a mentor who can keep you on the right path and who will be there for you if you become stuck in the middle.

Importance of a Mentor in IAS Preparations

  • Creating a study plan to adequately cover the extensive curriculum.
  • liberate you from the network of research materials.
  • Allocate enough time for each topic to be covered in depth.
  • Advice on how to pick the best sources, including books, periodicals, newspapers, publications from the government, etc.
  • How to select your optional course to improve your grade.
  • How to cope with exam stress, which every year breaks the spirit of many hopefuls, is last but most crucial.

Approach of ELITE IAS Mains Test Series:

  • This test series caters to two of the most important aspects of UPSC Preparation i.e. Consistency and Regular revision.
  • This test series has been designed in such a way that an aspirant shall get at least 4 rounds of revision for each subject.
