  • Practice daily current affairs from the last 6–12 months, focusing on UP state government schemes and national events.
  • For Mains, practice writing 700-word essays regularly and get them reviewed for structure, clarity, and time management within the 2-hour limit.
  • Solve UPPSC BEO previous year question papers to understand the difficulty level and recurring topic patterns.
  • Revise weak subjects on a rotating weekly basis instead of leaving them for the final month.
