Last 30 Days Weekly Breakdown Plan

To make the most of your time, divide your 30-day strategy into 4 weekly phases. Here's a practical approach:

Week 1 (Day 1–7): Revision + Pattern Recognition

• Revise GS topics from Polity, History, and Geography.

• Analyze 5 years of BPSC previous year question papers.

• Start your first round of mock tests (1 every 3 days).

• Keep 1.5 hours daily for current affairs.

Tip: Use color-coded sticky notes or digital tags while revising so you can come back easily.

Week 2 (Day 8–14): Target Weak Spots + Practice MCQs

• Make a list of weak subjects or topics.

• Strengthen these areas using concise revision notes.

• Practice 100 MCQs daily, topic-wise.

• Revise the Economic Survey and the Bihar Budget highlights.

Tip: Focus more on factual accuracy this week. Avoid new sources. Just revise what you have already read.

Week 3 (Day 15–21): Mock Test Simulation + Second Revision

• Take 3 full-length mock tests in real exam settings.

• Review answer keys thoroughly. Understand the rationale behind correct answers.

• Revise Bihar-specific history, movements, and cultural topics.

• Do selective reading from your BPSC books to revisit tricky concepts.

Week 4 (Day 22–30): Final Touch + Mental Preparation

• Last round of static and current affairs revision.

• Keep flashcards or one-pagers handy for last-minute revision.

• Take 2 final mocks: one mid-week, one 2 days before the exam.

• Do not read anything new in the last 3 days.

Important Topics to Revise in the Last 30 Days

How can I manage the revision of the entire syllabus in just 30 days for BPSC?

It’s possible if you approach the syllabus smartly rather than trying to mug everything again. Use the 80/20 rule—focus on 20% of topics that yield 80% of the questions.

Prioritize:

• Static core subjects like History and Polity (high ROI topics).

• State-specific content—especially Bihar’s economy, polity, and schemes.

• One-liner current affairs from the last 8–12 months.

Most importantly, revise using BPSC books and notes you've already read. Don't explore new study material in the final month. That creates confusion and affects your recall ability.

Is solving the BPSC previous year question paper enough for cracking the prelims?

While not “enough,” solving 10+ years of BPSC previous year question paper is a non-negotiable step. Here’s why:

• You identify repetitive question types.

• You train yourself in elimination techniques.

• You internalize the exam pattern and difficulty level.

• You improve time management during the paper.

Just make sure to solve the paper in a time-bound manner and analyze your mistakes. It will refine your judgment of which questions to attempt and which to leave.

How many mock tests should I give before BPSC Prelims?

Ideally, you should attempt 8–10 full-length mock tests in the last 30 days. But what’s even more important than the number is the analysis of each test.

Mock Test Strategy:

• Maintain a mock test logbook to track score, accuracy, and weak areas.

• Spend at least 3–4 hours reviewing each test.

• Keep rotating subjects in sectional tests.

Mocks will help you stay calm under pressure, develop endurance, and build confidence in your preparation.

What should I do in the last 3 days before the BPSC exam?

Avoid panic revision or trying new notes. Here’s what you should do:

• Revise flashcards, one-liners, and current affairs notes.

• Go through mock test mistakes one last time.

• Read the summary notes of Bihar-specific GK.

• Focus on mental calmness. Practice deep breathing if anxiety rises.

• Sleep 7–8 hours daily, especially before the exam.

Your performance is not just about what you know; it's also about how you manage stress.

Can I still crack BPSC if I start serious revision now?

Yes, if you already have a base. Many aspirants spend the final 30 days working harder and smarter than ever before. If your basics are clear and you’ve already studied from standard BPSC books, then this last phase is your chance to polish everything.

What matters now is:

• Consistency: 8–10 hours of focused study daily.

• Smart revision: Don’t read everything. Filter.

• Practice: At least 100 MCQs per day.

It’s not about “studying more” but “retaining and applying better.”

Final Revision Tips

• Follow the 3-2-1 Revision Rule:

• Revise any topic 3 times: Once in Week 1, again in Week 2, and final touch in Week 4.

• Keep a one-pager or pocket diary of formulas, facts, and tricky concepts.

• Always time yourself while solving papers. Time pressure changes how your brain works.

• Talk to peers only if it helps—not if it leads to confusion or anxiety.

• Most importantly, trust your preparation. The last 30 days are about consolidation, not competition.

Conclusion

The last 30 days before the BPSC 2025 exam hold the key to your success. These are not just days—they’re opportunities. Use them to refine your knowledge, build mental stamina, and strategically revise using your notes, mock tests, and especially BPSC previous year question paper collections.

Avoid resource-hopping. Stick to your BPSC books, practice relentlessly, and walk into the exam hall with confidence. Remember, competitive exams are not just about hard work, but smart and focused execution—and the last month is your moment to get that right.
