“You play like you practice and practice how you play.”
Nothing encapsulates the importance of answer writing practice for UPSC than this quote. The tons of books that you have read, the loads of ideas that you have in mind and the numerous debates that you have won matter little if you haven’t held your pen for practice for at least 500 hours before the real Mains examination. When you practice answer writing, you tend to recreate what you are going to write in the real exam but in a less stressful setting. With hours of practice, you develop a habit – a kind of muscle memory that helps immensely in the real exam. In fact, with hours of practice in your preparation kitty, the real exam feels like another day of practice. We hope you must have understood the true essence of the quote in the context of UPSC.
Now, let’s come to an important question – what makes a perfect practice for UPSC? Well, the answer is simple. You must practice questions that are either similar or at least a notch above than the UPSC standard. Then you must learn from your mistakes. But, how do you learn? You learn from high quality source of information. You also learn from expert feedback. You definitely learn from you peers.
If there is any program that packs all these prerequisites of perfect practice into one, it is the
Think, Learn and Perform (TLP)
Flagship initiative of IASbaba
We have been posting questions of unmatched quality, framed after rigorous research and analysis of evolving UPSC trends. We don’t frame questions for the sake of it. We are determined to test you the way UPSC does by posing questions that make you think hard, and connect the dots of your previous learning. Each day, you wake up to 5 high quality questions based on a pre-published micro plan. You write the answers and post them on IASbaba’s dedicated TLP platform. You get to see the answers of your peers. You also get access to meticulously prepared synopsis, a treasure trove for understanding the components you missed in your answers, and also a great source for future reference. To the extent possible, IASbaba’s expert evaluators share feedback on your answers and motivate you to continue the journey. We also encourage peer feedback. TLP as a platform, builds a strong social capital that students can leverage for their benefit.
Over the years, TLP has become the most trusted program for answer writing practice for UPSC toppers. Please go through the testimonials of top rankers over the years to understand the impact that TLP has made on their preparation. What makes our initiative standout? The answer is straightforward – quality. Even though TLP is a free initiative, we never compromise on the quality of questions and synopsis that is posted on the platform. We rarely repeat or recycle the questions. In each preparation cycle, we create new questions after a lot of thought and analysis. We invest so much time and effort because we know what is at stake – your career.
