Mains Appearing Aspirants, First of all, CONGRATULATIONS if you are… — The Dark Horse-UPSC CSE — TG.ME

Mains Appearing Aspirants, First of all, CONGRATULATIONS if you are still revising and scribbling in this final time. There are many aspirants who have already given up before the exam. Trust me, there are many. This is where perseverance gets tested and you have already crossed that hurdle.(The unwritten part of the UPSC syllabus.😅) The coming few days will be a roller-coaster ride. No matter how tiring or overwhelming it gets, I can tell you one thing with certainty- You will never forget the experience of writing Mains. You cleared one of the toughest Prelims and earned yourself these 27 hours. Remind this to yourself when that aching hand doesn’t allow you to write anymore. And now, it’s NOT about knowledge. It’s about managing yourself during those 27 hours. And perhaps the toughest part - the nights between papers, specially GS-1,2,3 and 4. You may come back disappointed after a paper. You may replay those “not so good” answers in your head.😅 Don’t carry yesterday’s paper into tomorrow’s examination hall. I have seen people cry after the Essay paper and still clear Mains. That’s how subjective this examination can be. So don’t evaluate your paper before UPSC does it. Just hang in there-as you have till now. Manage your time. Manage your answers. Most importantly, manage yourself. P.S-@hobbesleviathan, you can contact me here in case you need to discuss anything.(CSE 26 Mains People) @darkhorsecse
