Every UPSC aspirant knows the struggle – endless books, current affairs, and test series. But when it comes to Prelims success, the secret is not how much you study, but how smartly you revise. Many candidates fail despite studying hard because they skip systematic revision.

At Aura IAS Academy, we guide aspirants to focus more on revision cycles instead of drowning in new content.

Why Revision Strategy Beats New Reading

• Memory Retention: Without revision, even the best notes fade away within weeks.

• Error Reduction: Multiple revisions reduce silly mistakes in MCQs.

• Confidence Booster: Repeated reading builds familiarity, making questions easier in the exam hall.

• Time-Saving: Well-planned revision saves you from last-minute panic.
