She explains that 10–15% questions directly align with PYQs, and many more repeat themes. Her turnaround came from building a “magic book”—point-wise, Microtheme notes—paired with daily 50-question tests to close gaps, build elimination logic, and raise attempts. The core message: analyze PYQs deeply, revise smartly, test daily, and train examiner-oriented thinking for confident, high-attempt Prelims. --- 0:00 – Introduction 0:15 – Prelims failure isn’t about effort—it’s about strategy 1:05 – Shivali Thakur’s journey: 5 failures → AIR 52 (R) 2:20 – Biggest mistake: Ignoring PYQ analysis 4:35 – How PYQ themes repeat across years (real examples) 7:05 – Understanding microthemes: How UPSC actually frames questions 9:55 – The ‘Magic Book’ strategy: Turning PYQs into revision notes 12:45 – Microtheme-based revision vs syllabus-based revision 14:10 – The real role of tests: Finding gaps before UPSC does 15:35 – Why attempting more questions increases selection chances 18:30 – The Microtheme Loop: Test → Gap → Revise → Retest 20:05 – Why content alone fetches only 30–35 questions 22:00 – Decoding UPSC language: traps like “only, always, drastically” 25:10 – How to reach 60+ correct attempts safely in Prelims 29:30 – Solving more tests = higher confidence & exam temperament 👉 join Dominate Prelims Program for UPSC 2026: https://shorturl.at/2dESK --- 👉Join Civilsdaily IAS Community: Instagram: https://shorturl.at/1Opya Telegram: https://shorturl.at/hI6Ji
