Has anyone improved their test score from as low as 40 to 90+? Aspirants! I am fizzling out. I went strong for 1 month, but now I get distracted easily and that too unknowingly. Help me come out of this downward spiral somehow, aspirants! i feel lost Know your why? before you prepare UPSC exam. Hi, I have been preparing for UPSC for a couple of years and I have failed in prelims every time. Yet, sitting here and preparing for my 4th attempt, I am unable to decipher what exactly went wrong and what needs to be worked up. It would be of great help if anybody out here could help me. Which optional subject for UPSC prelims - Eco or Philosophy? Confused!! An ex-upsc aspirant switching to private sector after failed attempts. Can any one suggest where to start or who will hire me at age of 31?
