CGPSC Civil Judge Examination preparation Tips 2020

When you are learning from the Chhattisgarh judiciary syllabus, that is not all that you should do. There are many points of concern that you should focus on to ensure that your preparation is entirely up to date. Not to mention, you should focus on your personal factors too, to perform better at the time of examination. The following tips would help prepare you better for this examination and your possible future as a civil judge in Chhattisgarh. 

• Set Goal- When you are preparing for the CGPSC exam, you should set a goal first. Having a good start is important for a unified preparation, and setting such aims would help you with that. Not to mention, you should also set time-limits for each of these goals, and try to adhere to them.
• Follow the syllabus- The first thing that you should do is download the Chhattisgarh Civil Judge Syllabus. This would contain information regarding the examination and each topic that is required under them. Thus, if you follow along with the syllabus, you can prepare faster and better. 
• Make a time table for preparation- A time-table would give you a cleaner schedule for your exam preparation. If possible, use charts and create deadlines. For systematic learning, this would keep you on track to good training. Also, this would help you not miss out on any of the important points under the CGPSC Civil Judge Syllabus. 
• Research on the material- Research can help you go a long way to better prepare for the CGPSC exam. Select good and informative textbooks and research old cases on a variety of topics. Also, learn more about the legal system of India and the Chhattisgarhi state. This would better prepare you for the upcoming examination and give you a personalized idea of what is to come. You can make up your opinions regarding the topics you learn, and that may help you in the interview test too. 
• Online tests- Mock tests are present online for the sole purpose of students to prepare better. You can take the help of such mediums to better understand how much you have learned. Plus, such testing would also give you an idea of the question pattern and your personal speed. In terms of preparation, this is highly helpful. 
• Solve old paper- While perusing through the Chhattisgarh lower judiciary syllabus would help you know the topics, studying old tests would give you a better understanding of the answers. Not all parts of this examination are book-based. You have to give your own views and understanding of topics in some parts of the entire examination process. This would help you there. Plus, some old questions may appear in your upcoming exam too. 
• Make key notes- Make to-the-point keynotes on all the topics that you studied. When the time of the examination rolls around, you would not have time to read through the books all over again. Having small abridged notes on the main topics would come very handy during revision.
• Revise- Speaking of revision, this is one step that you should not avoid. After learning everything, you need to see how much you retained as well. Simply going to the examination hall after studying a single time on so many topics would jumble every information in your mind. Thus, do revise after completing each chapter and again directly before the examination date. If possible, revise multiple times.
