 Hello, my name is Preetika Varna and I have secured all India Act 3 in civil services examination 2019. As you all know, the pridance is coming. It is on 4th of October and there are just 15 days to go. I think you must be devoting your time, your amount of practice and revising all you have done till now. But apart from all the hard work that you have put into this preparation, it is also important that what you do on the day of the examination. Every year the pridance question paper is getting tougher, it is getting more analytical in nature. So it is important that how you conduct yourself and how you approach the question paper on the day of the examination. So I will give you some tips as to what you should do on the day of the pridance examination. First of all, you should relax yourself on the evening before the examination and sleep well. You need a fresh and rested mind so that you can apply knowledge in your mind to the kind of clinical questions that you face every year. So it is very important. Have a good breakfast, can sanitize them where you are masked throughout the examination and follow the safety guidelines that you basically have given because your health, the health of your family is equally important. So you can practice writing test wearing mask or gloves beforehand so that you are able to follow these guidelines on the day of the examination. Apart from that, it is very important how you manage your time when you receive the question that you have. We have a unit question and two hours of time. So when I wrote my pridance paper, I divided my time in four parts. In every half an hour, I try to finish 25 questions and I used to keep a tab on the time as to how my speed is, what I am doing in every section of that time. And if you think that you have started the paper and five or six questions are very difficult, very tough and you are not able to answer these, you have never read these, then do not get disheartened. Switch over to the path of the question paper. It is highly probable that you would receive easier questions either in the starting or in the end. So if you find yourself in this type of situation, do this. Or you can switch to 20s question number 26 or to the 51st. That is how you manage if you think the question is really difficult when you start. Now do not be or revise anything on the body of the examination. You need a fresh mind. You do not need to cram up everything in just one and half hour before the examination. You have prepared whatever you needed to before the examination. On the day of the examination, it is not going to help that you exhaust yourself before the examination begins. So do not waste your energy there. You have already studied everything, believed in yourself and go with that confidence in the examination hall. Definitely there will be issues, for example there will be more fans or probably the seats are shaking. But these are just circumstances. You are here to pursue a goal which is given higher than these things. Obviously in October the weather is going to be very decent. So you do not need to worry about these things here. So just keep yourself down and focus on your goal. The next thing I would like to suggest is about how you are managing the question paper. Always do it with a pen that is visible clearly. If you do it with a pencil there are times when you are not able to see what questions you have attended, what is left. So that way you get confused. Secondly you should mark the question that you need to revisit. There will be some questions where you are not completely clear. You are confused maybe. So you need to have a specific mark for that. For me it was a square. So I used to put this square before the questions that I needed to revisit before I mark them in the final OMR sheet. You can adopt your own strategy. Third, I used to mark the answers in OMR sheet when 1.5 hours were over. Meaning I had attended about 75 to 80 questions by that time. Remember 25 questions every half hour. So I have a definitive of 70 to 80 questions till that time. And when half an hour was remaining before the ending of the paper I used to mark all these very carefully. If you do something like this then first you are not in a hurry to do this. So you won't make the, you won't commit the mistake of marking the wrong option in front of a wrong question number. Which was a very childish mistake and a number of people do that. So if you want to avoid that mark your questions when you have sufficient time left. So this was how I used to do it. Marking 75 to 80 questions that I have attended before half an hour is left for the computation of examinations. So you should do that. You should give yourself appropriate time to attend to OMR sheet as well. When the paper one is over. Paper one which was about general studies. With OMR you were given some time for eating lunch, for spending time with your family. Do just that. Do not start re-checking your question paper. Looking at how many marks you are getting. How much you have done wrong. How much you have done right. It is not productive. Because you have to focus on the next paper which is CSAT. You cannot take it right. Every year the paper is getting tougher and tougher. So you have to be really present at the moment. If you really want to devote your time productively. For the next paper you can look at any notes. If you have prepared you can look at the formulas. You can look at previous questions. What is the meaning of each keyword. For example what is the best confusion. What is the logical confusion. You should read the meaning of all these keywords and phrases that are passed in the examinations. So focus on the next examinations between that time. And in the end for that time have a good lunch. Do not make it heavy otherwise you will feel lazy. Or you might feel sleepy. Have a good coffee or tea. Or whatever drink you like. And then again go with a fresh mind in the CSAT examination. With this I will thank all of you for watching me here.
