Top 7 Tips for BPSC 71st Prelims
-
Bihar ko priority do: 30-40% questions Bihar se aate hain. Bahut candidates Bihar ignore karte hain - tum mat karo.
-
NCERT skip mat karo: Class 6-12 ki books pehle padho, phir advanced books. NCERT se 30-40 questions ka base banta hai.
-
Previous Year Papers analyze karo: Last 10 years ke papers dekho - pattern samajh aayega.
-
Negative marking se saavdhan: 3 galat = 1 sahi ke barabar loss. 50% sure nahi ho toh chhod do.
-
Mock tests regularly do: Month 5 se har week 2-3 mock tests do. Analysis karo - kahan galti ho rahi hai.
-
Limited books, baar baar padho: 4-5 books 3-4 baar padho. Naye books se confusion badhta hai.
-
Consistent raho: Daily 8-10 ghante. 6 mahine ki marathon hai - health ka dhyan rakho.

Daily newspaper (Dainik Jagran Bihar edition) + monthly magazine (Pratiyogita Darpan). Bihar current affairs ke liye Prabhat Khabar best hai.
