Though opting for APSC preparation with the aim of serving the public is a tough choice, it remains a popular vocation among students and professionals from every field. APSC CCE is a systematic public service examination, evaluating aspirants in different levels of examinations, namely, Prelims, Mains and Viva-Voice (personal interview). Aspirants are recommended to make strategies to prepare for APSC Prelims and Mains 9-10 months prior the prelims.

The Preliminary exam is the first elimination round in APSC CCE, followed by the mains. The APSC mains exam chiefly consists of two stages:
1. Written examination
2. Viva-Voice test (Personal Interview)

Time Management

The gap between prelims and mains is short to be precise from the exam point of view. Hence, it is suggestive to start your mains preparation while preparing for the prelims exams. This strategy will help you cover almost 35-40% of the mains syllabus while studying for your prelims and study the rest 60% after your prelims exams.

Enhance your writing skills

As the mains exams include General English paper in its syllabus, it is very important for the aspirants to be proficient in their English writing skills. You can develop your writing skills through regular practice of essay writing, report writing etc. Practicing essay writing on various topics will help you put your thoughts and ideas into words and sentences, simultaneously resulting in the growth of vocabulary.
