Understand the syllabus

This is one of the primary steps that is taken into account while you are preparing or formulating a strategy for the exam. Some students may sincerely adhere to the rumours and stigma that are spread regarding the examination. Some may not even look at the syllabus. There is a rumour that a UPSC civil service aspirant should know each and everything under the sky. So the aspirants tempt to read whatever they got in aim of building knowledge regarding everything. But they don’t realise that UPSC has a particular syllabus and they need to focus only on that. And they often exclude the fact that nobody can acquire the knowledge regarding everything beneath the sky. Like that bank aspirants also have a stigma that a bank aspirant should be an expert in mathematics and speed matters. So they are tempted to study maths and increase the speed. But they often forgot the syllabus. Well let us look into the syllabus of the IBPS clerk syllabus 2020.

Preliminary

Categorising the Syllabus

This is the second step you have to do while formulating a strategy. Categorising means understanding the type of the syllabus. Some syllabus will be highly specific but some are not. Some syllabus will not be specific but general. The specific syllabus will be dealt in in detail and depth. But the general syllabus will be given only an overview. Specific syllabus exam demands an exam which seeks highly in- depth answers. But the general syllabus exam seeks peripheral questions but form anywhere inside the syllabus which makes it hard to predict the area which is going to be asked. Since our syllabus is too general, we have to build on it for further analysis and development.

Expanding the syllabus.

If you are identified as a general syllabus in the categorisation phase you have to expand the syllabus as your own. This is just a speculation stage and nobody can do it accurately. What you have to do is convert the general syllabus into a specific syllabus by analysing the previous year questions. Previous year questions will help you to analyse the area which is going to be asked in the general headings of the examination. The previous year question doesn’t mean you have to look only at the last year question paper but also the last 10-year paper to have a clear idea regarding the area which is going to be asked in the examination. We cannot anticipate it in full surety but we can anticipate it to some extent.

Content Analysis

This is the next step of the strategy formulation. Analyse the content of the syllabus and identify which are the areas you feel troubled and which are all the areas you feel confident. Analysing the strength and weakness will give you a clear idea regarding the methodology and importance you need to give to every area. Deciding the easier topics and hard topics then decide the methodology you want to adopt for analysing the concept. Whether you need any coaching institute or you need only books like that.

It’s okay and good to say I don’t know because it shows your willingness to adapt and learn.
