ANSWER WRITING -UPSC

How to write long answers in UPSC main and other exams

READ Q CAREFULLY, WRITE WHAT IS ASKED.

Please read Q carefully and write clearly. Answer writing is not just writing all you know. But writing in the form it has been asked. Read model answer and approach.

Break it in paras. Give it a look that suggests that different points/thoughts are in different paras. It is very boring to read one long para for one answer. Improve on this or your examiner will not like it. No paras means less structured answers. You have points and logic but you are still losing. So think how you can make your answers also look physically better.

You write it like a story even if relevant to the answer. Try to be sharp and write in a format most suitable for the question. Use more paragraphs to structure your writing.

LIMITED SPACE
UPSC will have limited space for answers in the answer sheets now. So stop writing and cancelling it. No such luxury now. Think clearly and write; don’t waste your space.
