Preparation strategy for MPPSC Exam While Working

How to read (recommended approach for your mppsc exam learning)

1^st Reading - The first time you’re reading the books, read them like a novel. Highlight the important points using a highlighter (in case of ebook) or a pencil (Hard copy). Keep a dictionary handy. If you come across any difficult word, look it up immediately. If you don’t understand a specific concept, use Google and read up about it.
                   
How to know what to highlight:
It’s important that you know what information to highlight and what to ignore. While studying it is important to what to study and what not study, for this you can join any mppsc coaching to get a mentor or if you are doing self-study then this can be done by analysing MPPSC previous question papers. Analysing previous year’s question papers will help you understand the type of questions asked under each topic. For instance, if you’re studying about the various Government schemes and policies, you should focus on advantages & disadvantages of the policy, need for that policy and its approach.  If you’re studying about a specific industry, your focus should be on the location of the industry, the factors affecting its location, challenges faced, opportunities and its current situation.

2^nd Reading - Give a gap of about 2 to 3 days after your first reading, before you begin your second reading. During your 2nd reading, ignore the unwanted details and focus on the notes you had highlighted during your 1st reading. It’s a good idea to try and recall whatever you learnt your 1st reading before revising each chapter.

3^rd Reading - Not that you’re done with your second reading it’s time to summarize what you have studies. The 3rd reading should be relatively faster than the 1st and 2nd. During the 3rd reading, glance through each chapters’ Highlighted parts. Try and relate the concepts you’re studying to current affairs, and connect the dots.
