We'll have more than 100 days for CAPF 2017........

And I'll try our best to divide this time period and make sure that you do well in the upcoming exam.

I'll call it the 100 days strategy......


Paper 1

1. History - 25-30 questions

2 Geography- 25-30 questions

3 Polity- 10-15 questions

4. Economic- 10-15 questions

5. Current Affairs and Science portion- 25-30 questions

6. Mathematics and Reasoning- 20 questions....

and secondly Paper 2 should also be done simultaneously.........

This strategy is specifically for people who are already on a particular level, who are not beginners. 

Believe me, it's not at all tough to prepare well for this exam in 3 months, but it requires a lot of commitment.

Our target should be 

1. Paper 1- minimum 65 questions right after negative.
This is not the cutoff, but this is the supersafe cutoff and no matter, how others perform, with this score, you'll be amongst the toppers.


2. Paper 2- Attempt the whole paper well, worst score of 80 marks.....easily gettable.
Come on Guys, this target is very gettable........


Now just think of this as
1. You do history well and get 18 questions right
2. Geography gives you another 17
3. Polity -7
4. Economics- 6
5 Current and Science - 12
6. Maths- 15 all these are after negative......
your total is 75, a few mistakes here and there, you still have 65 questions net. Not a tough job, believe me, with the right kind of preparation......
do whatever I'll be writing here and I can assure that success will be yours.........
I can make the strategy, you'll have to implement it.
Are you ready to hand over yourself to me ??? Do as I say, success will follow.........
Starting with history today.......

the whole of history is to be completed in 20 days, we have to move fast, time is less........

1. Ancient - allot 5 days to it........

What all is to be done ?
----- Starting with Ancient India, with the advent of human life on earth........
PMNC- Paleolithic, mesolithic, neolithic, chalcolithic ages........
developments that happened during these time frames.....
------Indus Valley Civilisation
-------Coming of the Aryans to Sapt Sindhu Region
-------Dynasties that came and went
-------Jainism and Buddhism
-------Art Culture during this time period, who wrote what book.....
-------Coinage, who issued which all coins
--------Sculpture...
-------Important wars fought
-------foreign travellers,
--------foreign invaders who came and conquered......
...
It is said that Ancient History belong to the HIndus, Medieval to the Muslims and Modern to the Christians..........


The demarcation between Ancient and Medieval is the coming of Arabs to India.....
Believe me, 90% or more will come from standard text books of history......
And you can complete the entire syllabus, provided that you are committed.......

Paper 2


Again break up the paper......
Remember one fact, if your Paper 1 preparation is good, and you read Hindu daily, then Paper 2 will not require any extra effort........

Time Management Tips Are As Follows

Practice with Stopwatch on your side: For any aspiring  candidate it is a must to keep a stopwatch by their side while preparing. Apart from the tenacity of the questions, what matters is that of the allotted time for solving those questions. One needs to practice so well in the paper so that he/she can answer most number of questions that too keeping the accuracy factor in mind. This also helps you to improve your time and boosts your confidence just before the examination.
Skip Questions that are troubling much: There are 160 questions in each of the paper, and if at any point it is felt by the candidate that a certain question is troubling them much, they should immediately move away from that particular question and try and solve other known ones. Rather than sticking to any particular question, it is advisable to move along.
Go through Practice sets and Mock Question Papers: Mock question papers and practice sets can help the candidates to prepare for the examination effectively. By solving these sets you could have an idea of how many questions you are solving on the given time and try to improve that by applying and innovating newer techniques for solving problems through constant practice.
Do not go for everything: You certainly didn’t want to get in trap of ‘getting everything’ under your belt. Thus, you should set a target for yourself while you are preparing for any paper and decide how many questions you are going to attempt with accuracy to be on top of anything. You should keep an eye on quality of your answers rather than the quantity as doing this you could also avoid negative markings which can take down your chances of getting through.

Eat Light – Start your day with a light breakfast like cereal and fruit. Avoid greasy food to spare yourself the lethargy and drowsiness that they induce. Eating light will make your body feel lighter, letting you focus better


Short Study Hours, Strong Focus – If you cannot study for long hours, it is much better to sit for short hours, but with dedication! Promise yourself you’ll study well for those two hours.
Take Regular Breaks – It’s always better to give yourself a break after every hour or two, than cramming everything nonstop. Give your mind time to soak it all in


Take Time Out for Yourself – Constant studying makes your mind bored and unresponsive. So take time out to pamper yourself and let yourself unwind. A calm body and mind are the most receptive
Unwind – When you are on a timeout, unwind with a fun, creative activity! Simple things like cooking, painting, or even a walk in the park are good ways to let your hair down. You could even rock out to your favorite music.


Exercise – Take regular walks, go for runs or go gymming! Any kind of physical workout is a good break, for both your body and mind.

Last Minute Tips


Don’t Overburden Yourself: It is important not to overburden yourself while preparing hard for the examination. There should be set hours for study for the candidates and there should be equal share of light hearted entertainment and physical outings necessary along with the studies. A healthy mind and body can become very important for your success and thus the candidates need to make their routine perfectly in tandem with the situation.

Keep a stopwatch by your side: If you are still wondering how you would manage your time and solve all the questions that you need to solve in the four hour time period, the only option you are left with is to keep a stopwatch by your side and practice regularly.


Spot your weak areas: It is very easy to go along well with your strong areas, but it is the best time to work on your weaker areas and give it your best shot. Try and point out all the major areas you are stumbling and try to remove the blockings through constant practice and able guidance.


Device your own methods and techniques: This is one such practice which allows the candidates to solve questions in innumerably less time and boost confidence in the candidates. They could take suggestions from the coaching classes or take inputs from the mock question papers or guidebooks from which they prepare. Finding a pattern for any question could turn out to be gold for the candidates.


Make your own boundaries: You cannot possibly answer each and every question correctly in the given time and thus you need to limit your lines. This could help the candidates immensely in the time of giving the examination and make it possible for them to make a count on their chances for getting through.


Sharpen your weapons: You need to make sure you keep your admit cards, necessary stationary equipment ready for the examination and get ready to go for the examination.


Prepare yourself mentally: The examinations are mental game and you need to be psychologically strong in order to succeed in any examination. You need to feel assured of yourself and believe in yourself that whatever preparations you have gone through could sail you through to the next round. This confidence alone could ease your way while going for the examination.

Keep your eyes open for anything new: A good listener and observer can always benefit from whatever is around them. The candidates need to be aware of the ongoing events in their surroundings and be active mentally and physically to stay fit. They should look for new words, sentence formation structures and passages that appear in newspapers, magazines and journals which could help them in the English Language paper. Along with this they should go through internet surfing to find out resources and online material available for helping them in the examinations.
