Rather of focusing on quantity, candidates should keep in mind that quality is more important. In comparison to a list of books that may contain irrelevant material, one decent book will enough.

2. The most crucial aspect of your preparation is taking notes. While preparing for CMSE , you should take notes in your language. This will assist you in remembering the material in greater detail and for a longer amount of time. Self-made notes, on the other hand, will come in helpful during the last stages of exam revision
3. Learning alone will not help you remember the stuff you have studied for UPSC CMSE. Topics should be revised on a regular basis to ensure that information is retained. Schedule your study so that you can complete at least two rounds of revision.
4. Candidates must complete as many CMSE sample test papers as possible prior to the exam date. The most significant benefit of taking online mock tests is that it familiarises participants with the exam format, which reduces anxiety. Candidates can also maintain track of their time management skills by taking online CMSE practise examinations.
5. Candidates will receive the right kind of coaching during their preparation stages if they use appropriate study resources or books. Rather of focusing on quantity, candidates should keep in mind that quality is more important. In comparison to a list of books that may contain irrelevant material, one decent book will enough.
6. It is advisable to attempt mini mock tests on a daily basis for every topic studied so to be thorough with the topic.
A complete list of Recommended Books for UPSC CMSE is given below :-
