Answer writing for UPSC Mains exam is an uphill battle, which actually should start from very beginning. But most of the IAS aspirants don’t start it on time thinking they will start it after completing the syllabus.

Actually, this is the biggest myth!!

The recipe of a good answer is very simple if you start it early and practice it judiciously on a daily basic (at least 1 question in beginning) suggested by UPSC Topper Srushti Jayant Deshmukh UPSC CSE 2018, AIR 5. But writing up to 4 questions daily can help you with time management along with content management.

Answer writing becomes tough, just because we ignore it. One most important fact about answer writing is - Nobody can start with a perfect answer, perfection comes with time and practice.

All what we need to start a good answer…...

A GOOD UNDERSTING OF QUESTION. (Comes from regular practice)
CONTENT. (Comes from regular revision.)
PRESENTATION. (Comes from good structure and a good flow of content.)
PRACTICE... PRACTICE…PRACTICE!!!

What we get gradually with time…

Understanding of defining and addressing the various parts of the question asked.
Ideas for managing the flow of the content to show interlinking between all paragraphs or dots.
Ideas to present your answer with flowcharts, pie charts, diagrams, headings, subheadings etc…
Using relevant facts and data.
And the most important… managing time to complete the paper.

Daily one answer can give a kick start to your answer writing.
