ForumIAS has introduced Pragati, a meticulously crafted UPSC Mains answer writing practice booklet that mirrors the aprox. dimensions and specifications of the UPSC Civil Services Examination (CSE) Mains Question-Cum-Answer Booklet (QCAB). This innovative tool is designed to elevate aspirants’ preparation by providing an authentic practice experience, thereby enhancing their confidence and performance in the actual examination.

Addressing Common Challenges in Answer Writing Practice

Aspirants often face several challenges during their preparation:

• Inconsistent Handwriting Size: Variations in handwriting can lead to uncertainty about the appropriate length of responses for different mark allocations.
• Time Management Issues: Many candidates find it difficult to complete answers within the stipulated time, affecting overall performance.
• Unfamiliarity with Exam Booklet Format: Practicing on standard A4-sized paper, which differs from the actual exam booklet size, can result in discrepancies in answer length and presentation.
• Space Allocation Concerns: Uncertainty about the number of pages allotted for various questions can lead to over or under-writing, impacting answer quality.

Pragati: Bridging the Gap Between Practice and Performance

To tackle these issues, ForumIAS has developed Pragati, an answer writing booklet which replicates very closely the details and size of the UPSC CSE Mains QCAB. Pragati booklets are sized at 8.5 x 10.5 inches, identical to the UPSC Mains QCAB, ensuring that aspirants practice within the same spatial parameters as the actual exam.
