How to know if preparation is on right track?

Every aspirant studies, but few study with the correct strategy.

Most candidates ask the wrong question:
"Am I studying enough?"

But the right question should be:
"Is my preparation moving me closer to selection?"

So hello there aspirants! ☺️
aajkinayibharti.com welcomes you to this article, where we will help you objectively verify whether your preparation is on the right track or not.

Learn how using simple tricks and checks can give powerful results, without wasting time on overthinking, fake motivation, or unnecessary resources.

1️⃣ Right Track Means One Thing: Predictable Improvement

If your preparation is going in the right direction, your performance will be predictable. You should be able to say:

✔️ "I will score around this or that in this upcoming exam."
✔️ "This section will take maximum X minutes."
✔️ "These topics are my strength areas, and that topic is where I need to work more."

If you are working in the right direction, you will probably have answers to the above points.

2️⃣ Your Syllabus Coverage Should Be Unequal

Serious aspirants do not give equal time to all topics.

If your preparation is on track:

  • 20 to 30% of topics give you almost 70% of marks.

  • You are well familiar with topics that are not going to come in use.

  • You revise fewer topics but revise them with depth.

3️⃣ You Make Fewer, But Strong Notes

Correct preparation leads to:

  • Condensed and well-structured notes (1–2 pages per topic).

  • Notes that are revised weekly.

  • Notes that are updated after every mock.

4️⃣ Mock Tests Feel Uncomfortable

If you are preparing in the right direction, you must:

  • Get exposure to your weaknesses regularly.

  • Feel worried after analysis, not after attempting.

  • Focus on time strategy and accuracy, not just on how much score you get in every mock.

5️⃣ You Are Mentally Calmer, Not Anxious

Surprisingly, if you are preparing in the right direction, you will feel happy and relaxed, and "the exam is coming closer" will not bother you or make you anxious.

Why so?

  • You know your strengths

  • You know your back-up attempts

  • You know what to skip in the exam and on which questions you should avoid wasting time

Anxiety comes from uncertainty, not because of competition.
Confidence is a by-product of clarity and accurate knowledge!
