📚 Finished a topic? Start Answer Writing ✍️
UPSC Mains isn’t about how much you’ve read—
It’s about how well you write.
⏳ Don’t wait to “complete the syllabus.”
The more you delay, the more you lose.
✅ Start writing answers now—topic by topic.
That’s how rankers prepare. That’s how Mains is cracked. 🔥

💡 Most Beginners Make This Mistake:
They keep collecting content for 1–2 years.
They say: “I’ll start writing after I finish the syllabus.”
Result? By the time they start, it’s already late. No writing speed, no structure, no articulation.

✅ Why You Should Start Answer Writing Within 1–2 Months:
1. Early Writing = Early Clarity
You learn how UPSC wants you to think and write.
2. It Sharpens Your Reading
When you know you'll write an answer, you start reading smart — not just reading more.
3. Keywords & Frameworks Become Muscle Memory
Concepts like "Directive Keywords", "Intro-Body-Conclusion", "Dimensions", etc., become second nature.
4. Avoid the 2–3 Year Trap
Most aspirants who delay answer writing take 2–3 attempts just to understand how to write.
You can shortcut that struggle by integrating answer writing from Day 30 of your prep.
