available for free and easy to find, if you find anything else, use them, it's

Important Mnemonics
(Cheatcodes)
Here we will call all the extra and important materials which require
cramping as “Mnemonics” - reference for the timetable. - very Important
The first step for you is to print 8 Maps of India, with state distinctions and mark
the following in them -
1. Ramsar sites (Search them) or use this
https://www.clearias.com/ramsar-sites-wetlands-india/
2. Biosphere reserves in India and the states and capitals near the tropic of
cancer
https://www.sarkariexameasy.com/2020/08/biosphere-reserves-in-india-
map.html
6. National parks as numbers, and then use another paper to note down
which national park they represent
https://edubaba.in/national-parks-in-india/
(This is for reference)
On the below-given website you can practice locations etc on maps, helpful in
remembering
https://lizardpoint.com/geography/
I would recommend Orient Black Swan Atlas - as it has good maps, as well an
interactive CD.
Further stick 4 kinds of maps (Buy them from market) around places where you sit,
even the bathroom, or where you eat
1. World Political
2. World Physical
3. India Physical
4. India Political
Map Practice
Map practice as mentioned in the timetable will include downloading blank maps
and then marking the important landscapes, etc like in South America map mark
the mountain ranges.
Also, search and mark important straits, places in the news, like National parks, or
wildlife sanctuaries.

Preparations and necessary
requirements to start with the
timetable
To start with the timetable,
● You can change the timetable according to your speed, but I would
recommend not to change the subjects and the things you have to do
like map practice.
● You might not be able to read all the mnemonics in the given time, so
you just have to read as much as you can and then read the other part
in the next given time.
● Many times you will find the time accorded to be less, so bring out some
extra time from your routine. But if you are really willing, trust me you
can do this, I did this, and many times I even studied for 15 hours.
● Sometimes you might be left with extra time, don’t waste it, use it wisely,
Time is a very precious commodity.
● Analyse your performance based on your completion of daily targets.
And the score, in the beginning the score could be very less, don't get
disheartened, you will definitely improve with every revision.
● One extra day has been given for cover up.
● Be attentive give your 100% in following the timetable
● Follow pomodoro technique - 5 minutes break in every 30 minute, it's
better to have 10 minutes break in every 1 hour. Breaks are important,
as they help in better retention.
● Stick your photo in front of your study place, and write down whatever
rank you aim for. Now write down and stick each days timetable as you
begin the day, on your photo, such that it can be removed, so when you
complete your timetable you can remove it and see your topper photo,
this will keep you motivated to complete the day's target.
● Be confident, we all feel every other day that this is hard, but I did it, its
natural to feel this way, just don’t lose.
● The preparation requires a lot of sacrifices in terms of enjoyment, Chech
Tushar Gupta’s answer about this on quora, you will know how much
this exam requires.
● I didn’t use my phone for 1.5 years, this is the level required from you.
● While having food you can watch the big picture on RSTV, or discussion
on Bharata First Youtube channel.
● Be ready for everything that appears.
