Conquering the UPSC Prelims 2024: The Impact of Mock Tests on Success

Conquering the UPSC Prelims 2024: The Impact of Mock Tests on Success

Like marathon runners who enhance their endurance through regular training, UPSC Prelims aspirants also develop their knowledge base and exam proficiency by consistently engaging in mock tests. Each session of mock testing bolsters mental endurance and the capacity to maintain concentration during the final phase of prelims exam preparation. This practice is essential for building the resilience and strategic thinking needed to navigate the complexities of the Prelims examination effectively.

Importance of Mock Tests for UPSC Prelims Exam Preparation

1) Familiarity with Exam Pattern

Mock tests in both General Studies (GS) and Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSA) help candidates become familiar with the actual and evolving exam pattern, including the types of questions asked, the level of difficulty, and the performance under time constraints.

2) Mastering Time Management

Time management is paramount in the UPSC Prelims, where every second counts. Mock tests serve as a training ground to master the art of time management. Through regular practice, aspirants will learn to allocate time wisely, prioritize questions strategically, and navigate through the exam efficiently.

3). Revision and Retention

Mock tests serve as an effective revision tool. They help in revising a vast syllabus in a structured, time-bound manner and enhancing memory retention. Repeatedly practicing mock tests aids in reinforcing the learned concepts, making them more retrievable during the exam.

4) Insights through Post-Test Analysis

The journey to UPSC success although starts with mock tests but doesn’t end with it —it extends to thorough post-test analysis and introspection. This crucial step helps unlock valuable insights into the performance, identifying strengths to leverage and weaknesses to address. Post-test analysis enables aspirants to dissect each question, understand the rationale behind correct answers, and learn from mistakes. With Post-test analysis, one can refine her study approach, focus on areas needing improvement, and propel oneself closer to the UPSC goals.

5) Approaches & Strategy Development

One size doesn’t fit all in UPSC preparation. Taking multiple mock tests enables candidates to experiment with different strategies, such as the order of attempting questions, selection of questions to attempt, and time allocation. This helps in devising a personalized strategy that can be optimized for better performance in the actual exam.

6). Building Confidence

Confidence is the cornerstone of success in any competitive exam, and UPSC Prelims is no exception. Armed with a deep understanding of the exam pattern, solid time management skills, and a targeted preparation strategy, one can approach the UPSC Prelims with unwavering self-assurance and self-confidence. With confidence by the side, aspirants are poised to unleash the full potential and maximize the UPSC Prelims scores.

Smart Strategy for Approaching Prelims Mock Test Papers

  • Set a Schedule & Practice Time Management: Allocate specific times for taking mock tests regularly, ensuring consistency in your preparation.
  • Simulate Exam Conditions: Mimic the actual exam environment by sitting in a quiet room (preferably the Test Centre), adhering to time limits, and minimizing distractions.
  • Choose Comprehensive All India Mock Test Series: Prioritize mock tests offering thorough coverage of UPSC Prelims syllabus as per the latest pattern, with All India Ranking.
  • Start Strong, Stay Confident: Begin with questions you’re confident about to build momentum and maintain confidence throughout the test.
  • Strategic Guessing: Develop a methodical approach for guessing answers to unfamiliar questions, utilizing techniques like the process of elimination.
  • Mark for Review: Flag questions you’re unsure about for later review, ensuring you don’t spend too much time on any single question.
  • Thorough Analysis & Focused Revision: Based on your analysis, revise weak areas and reinforce strengths, utilizing standard textbooks and online resources as needed.
  • Repeat and Refine: Regularly repeat the cycle of taking mock tests, analyzing results, and refining your approach, gradually improving your performance and confidence.

Elevating CSAT Readiness Through Mock Tests

Mock tests are essential not only for excelling in the GS Paper-1 but in GS Paper -II i.e CSAT as well, particularly in enhancing skills in reading comprehension, problem-solving, and time management. Regular practice through mock tests for CSAT will help in improving analytical skills, speed and pinpointing areas for improvement, thereby building the confidence and proficiency needed to tackle the CSAT paper effectively.

Overcoming Resistance to Mock Test Series

Some students may find mock tests daunting, especially if they perceive the questions to be too challenging or beyond their current level of preparation. This can lead to a lack of motivation to engage with the tests. Also, the fear of performing poorly in mock tests and receiving low scores can demotivate students in appearing on mock tests. Students may worry that their performance in the mock tests will reflect negatively on their abilities or future prospects.

Conversely, some students may feel overly confident in their preparation and believe they don’t need to practice with mock tests.

Therefore, addressing these barriers requires recognizing the importance and utility of mock tests in preparation through personalized guidance & motivation.

Importance of Mentoring and Feedback

Recognizing the importance of expert guidance and feedback in mock tests,, mentoring plays a crucial role in Prelims exam preparation, serving multiple purposes:

  • Diagnostic Tool: Feedback helps in diagnosing the specific areas where a candidate may be lacking, allowing for targeted improvement. It identifies not just the incorrect answers but also the reasoning behind them.
  • Performance Enhancement: Constructive feedback provides actionable insights into how to approach questions differently, manage time more efficiently, and avoid common pitfalls.
  • Guidance for Improvement: Personalized guidance based on mock test performance can help in formulating a study plan that focuses on weak areas, thereby ensuring a balanced preparation across all subjects.
  • Adaptability: Feedback from mock tests can help candidates adapt to the dynamic nature of exams like UPSC, where the pattern and types of questions can vary widely from year to year.
  • Feedback and guidance in mock tests: They are not just about assessing knowledge; they are about enhancing learning, improving exam strategy, and building the confidence necessary to succeed in the actual exam.

Mock tests are indispensable for UPSC Prelims preparation, offering a realistic exam simulation and enhancing knowledge and time management skills. They also aid in strategic planning and boost aspirants’ confidence, thereby maximizing their chances of success in the UPSC Civil Services Preliminary Examination 2024.

Octa Provides Expert Analysis for 2024 for Global Economic Trends and Gold Prices

Octa Provides Expert Analysis for 2024 for Global Economic Trends and Gold Prices

New Delhi [India]: According to many analysts’ forecasts, the price of gold may increase in 2024. Octa explains in the article what factors will influence the dynamics of the gold price and what will happen to the market this year.

Gold is trading above $2,000 per ounce in early 2024. Analysts expect that even later in the year, gold prices may remain above $2,000 per ounce, reaching new historical highs. Among the factors favouring this are geopolitical uncertainty, the likely weakening of the U.S. dollar, and potential interest rate cuts. But before relying on these factors in the future, we must understand how they have influenced the past.

A new scenario of gold price dynamics

For the past 90 years, the value of gold has depended primarily on the volume of transactions between the Western and Eastern markets. Western countries determined supply and demand, while Eastern countries acted as counterparties to the transaction. Thus, when the volumes of physical gold purchased by Great Britain or Switzerland increased, its price grew, and vice versa. As a result, gold moved from the West to the East and back synchronously with the price decreasing or increasing.

The second factor that has historically influenced the price is the relationship between the price of gold and the real yield on U.S. government bonds. When the real yield decreased, bonds lost their appeal, and investors moved into gold. Once the trend reversed and real yields began to rise, investors returned to bonds.

However, since the end of 2022, both patterns have failed. The U.S. ten-year bond yield rose to 4.33%, above the 2022 highs, beating a 15-year record. Despite expectations, this didn’t lower the price of gold, which instead rose from November 2022 to August 2023 by 16%, from $1,643 to $1,954 per ounce.

The correlation between gold transaction volumes and the gold price also stopped working. Since the third quarter of 2022, the UK and Switzerland have been Netto-exporters of gold, i.e. sellers. According to the historical paradigm, this should also have been a reason for the price of gold to fall. However, as we can see, this is not happening. Thus, the West has not significantly influenced the pricing of precious metals.

What affects gold in 2024?

Escalating geopolitical conflicts are causing gold to rise in value. Due to the geopolitical events of 2022, dollar assets have become more risky for many countries. Central banks in the Global South, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East have been actively pursuing a policy of building up the gold part of foreign exchange reserves since the end of 2022. According to a World Gold Council (WGC) report, central banks bought 800 tonnes of gold in the first nine months of 2023, up 14% year-on-year. Excess demand from central banks has boosted the value of gold by 10 per cent in 2023.

‘It is the central banks’ purchases of gold that will act as the main driver of growth in 2024′, said Kar Yong Ang, the Octa financial market analyst. ‘If the trend continues and the level of gold reserves moves towards an average of 40% of the gold composition in reserves, that would mean an additional $3.2 trillion in the asset–a 25% rise in 2025, which would correspond to a price of $2,500 an ounce’, he added.

Gold has also seen another rise since the beginning of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict: since October 2023, it has added more than 8%. Hence, we can conclude that any aggravation in geopolitics will have a positive impact on gold.

The stabilisation of inflation will continue to support gold quotes. In 2022, global inflation reached its highest levels in decades. However, it is also a fact that inflation passed its peak at the end of 2023. Most analysts believe inflationary pressures will continue to ease in 2024.

‘Traditionally, the gold price has been negatively correlated with the inflation rate. The lower the inflation rate, the lower the interest rates on government bonds. As a result, the relative attractiveness of non-interest-bearing assets such as gold increases’, said Kar Yong Ang.

Developing economies de-dollarisation. Investors see gold as an alternative means of building savings and protection against inflation and currency risk. Demand for gold is increasing because Brazil, Russia, India, and China (members of BRICKS) seek ways to improve their currency independence.

The main factors affecting gold’s price are inflation, rising demand from central banks, de-dollarisation of developing economies, microeconomic situation, and geopolitics. The combination of these factors will create conditions for the growth of gold price in 2024–in the first half of the year, the cost of the precious metal may exceed $2,200 per troy ounce. In the second half of the year, the upward trend in gold is likely to continue, and gold may show a price of $2,300 per ounce, so the average price in 2024 will be $2,170.

Founded in 1984, composed of 12 tribes according to the Bible, opening the era of 100,000 people joining the church every year

In celebration of its 40th anniversary, Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony (Chairman Lee Man-hee, hereinafter referred to in as Shincheonji Church of Jesus) announced the process of change from its founding to the present as it has worked for the healing of all nations as promised by God.

According to the ‘40th Anniversary History Report Announcement’ announced at the founding ceremony on the 14th, Shincheonji Church of Jesus was founded on March 14, 1984. At the time of its founding, it did not have a proper temple, so worship was held outdoors, and only in June of that year did it prepare its first small temple in Bisan-dong, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do.

In September of the same year, the ‘Shincheonji Holy Constitution’ was announced, and the following year, in 1985, the nationwide Revelation Meeting began.

On March 14, 1995, the 11th anniversary of its founding, the organization of the 12 tribes was completed according to the shape of heaven described in the Bible. Afterwards, in 1999, the General Assembly headquarters and temple were moved to Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do, the site where the Book of Revelation was realized, and are still there today.

The Zion Christian Mission Center, a free Bible education institution of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, has expanded nationwide starting from the Sadang Center in Seoul in 1990 and teaches not only the prophecies of the Bible but also the reality of their fulfillment in elementary, middle, and high school levels. Starting in 2020, online education is being launched and is being evaluated as having ushered in an era of full-fledged communication theology.

Zion Christian Mission Center, which held its first graduation ceremony in 1991, held its first ‘100,000 Graduation Ceremony’ by producing 103,764 graduates at its 110th graduation ceremony in 2019. Afterwards, in 2022 and 2023, 106,186 and 108,084 students completed the course, respectively, achieving an unprecedented achievement of enrolling more than 100,000 students for two consecutive years.

The overseas missionary work of Shincheonji Church of Jesus, which is experiencing explosive growth both domestically and internationally, dates back to 1993. Afterwards, in 2012, the Shincheonji Word Crusade was held overseas for the first time.

Even in the COVID-19 pandemic situation in 2021, when the borders of each country were blocked, an online Crusade of the Word was held. Requests for exchanges from other denominations to learn the Word flooded in, and an MOU for Word exchange was signed with 443 churches in Korea and 9,462 churches in 77 countries overseas. . In particular, 1,382 churches in 38 overseas countries changed their signs to Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony after the exchange of words.

Last February, a religious leader exchange program was launched in Korea, with 10 religious leaders from all over the world as well as Korea.

However, it received great response from about 80 religious leaders. Shincheonji Church of Jesus has continued to make efforts not only to put into practice not only the words but also Jesus’ teachings of peace.

Meanwhile, Shincheonji Church of Jesus registered its mark trademark and business emblem designed as recorded in the Book of Revelation with the Korean Intellectual Property Office in 1998, and the mark trademark and business emblem of the Zion Christian Mission Center were registered with the Korean Intellectual Property Office in 2000.

Shah Rukh Khan La Trobe University PhD Scholarship of $225,000 (AUD), awarded to New Delhi Student

New Delhi [India]: The second prestigious Shah Rukh Khan La Trobe University PhD Scholarship was today presented to a New Delhi student with a passion to improve health outcomes for vulnerable communities, to study in Australia.

During a Gala Dinner in Delhi, La Trobe University’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor Theo Farrell presented Sumaira Khan with the 2024 Shah Rukh Khan La Trobe University PhD Scholarship, valued at more than $225,000 (AUD).

Sumaira was selected from a competitive field of applicants from across India for the four-year scholarship, which recognises the humanitarian and social justice achievements of Shah Rukh Khan (SRK). The PhD scholarship was made possible through La Trobe’s long-standing partnership with the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne.

Designed to support aspiring female Indian researchers who want to make a meaningful impact in the world, the scholarship enables Sumaira to undertake research at La Trobe’s state-of-the-art facilities in Melbourne, Australia.

Sumaira will work with medical anthropologists Dr Tarryn Phillips and Dr Catherine Trundle to identify ways to improve healthcare for South Asian migrant women in Australia with an elevated risk of Type 2 diabetes. The study seeks to understand the factors that shape and constrain the ability to practice self-care, and inform improved healthcare design, access and equity for healthcare programs in Australia and India.

“I’m very grateful to receive the Shah Rukh Khan scholarship. It’s life-changing for me and my family, and I’m excited to interact with La Trobe’s global community of researchers. It really is my proudest achievement,” Sumaira said.

Shah Rukh Khan said he was delighted to support the development of Indian women to pursue solutions to challenges affecting not just Indian communities, but global issues.

“Sumaira’s passion to improve health outcomes for vulnerable communities is inspiring, and her journey is a wonderful lesson to other Indian women who want to improve lives through scientific study,” Mr Khan said.

“I am pleased to be able to support Sumaira’s ongoing development and education with this scholarship at La Trobe University in Melbourne.”

La Trobe Vice-Chancellor, Professor Theo Farrell, said the University was proud to continue the Shah Rukh Khan La Trobe University PhD Scholarship to a student whose goal is to support some of the most vulnerable in our community.

“This ongoing scholarship is testament to the strong relationship and shared vision La Trobe has with Mr Khan to inspire positive change through education and find solutions for some of the most challenging issues facing the world,” Professor Farrell said.

“We are delighted to welcome Sumaira to La Trobe.”

Indian Film Festival of Melbourne Director Mitu Bhowmick thanked La Trobe for its ongoing support for furthering the educational opportunities for Indian women.

“I am delighted our festival has been able to bring together SRK and La Trobe University for this scholarship, which provides life-changing opportunities for young Indian female students and inspires future generations,” she said.

Sumaira’s passion for public health grew from her own family’s experiences accessing care for her younger brother when he was diagnosed with severe autism.

In 2022, Sumaira graduated with a Master of Public Health from Mumbai’s Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), where she received the academic prize for best first year student for achieving the highest grades in her cohort.

She has since completed an internship with Save the Children and Sangath, investigated women’s experiences of open defecation in Delhi and explored the research area of early childhood development in India. Sumaira has also worked with a social development research organization in India exploring the domains of primary health care system strengthening and vaccine hesitancy.

“I’m amazed that I have this opportunity to do research in Australia, I hope my story can connect with young girls across India, to inspire them to achieve more, to believe that it’s possible for young women to follow their dreams,” she said.

The first recipient of the Shah Rukh Khan La Trobe University PhD Scholarship, Gopika Kottantharayil Bhasi, has completed the first year of her PhD into a field-deployable diagnostic test for honeybee viruses, and with the aim of developing therapies to aid honeybee health.

La Trobe was the first Australian university to award Shah Rukh Khan with an Honorary Degree, Doctor of Letters (honoris causa) during a ceremony at the University’s Melbourne campus in 2019.
