How can I prepare for the APPSC Group 1 exam in four months?


Are you thinking about preparing for the group 1 exams? And also want to know the preparation techniques to crack group 1 in 4 months. Then this article is written with an assumption that you don't have time to waste your time on learning unnecessary things or wasting your time on any other material except English and General studies.

This is a very hard exam indeed, especially if it's your first attempt at APPSC. It can be done though, most candidates can clear it in the first attempt if they have a proper strategy.

First Things First, Get Your Syllabus Straight

Like any other competitive exam, the syllabus is the basis of every step you make. The moment you start learning something which is not in your syllabus will be a big waste of time and energy.

So without wasting any time further let's get started by seeing what are the subjects for these Group 1 exams and what topics you need to cover for this exam.

Enrol Yourself In Online Coaching

Coaching institutes are the best way to go for this type of career-oriented exam. You can join some good coaching institutes which will teach you all the concepts involved in each subject with the help of experienced teachers. Achievers Academy is one of the leading online coaching institutes in Andhra Pradesh for APPSC Group 1 Coaching. Enrol yourself for this exam by clicking here.

Read Up on Each Subject Thoroughly

The next step involves reading up every single chapter thoroughly and going over each topic at least twice before proceeding further. This way not only will it give a thorough understanding of each subject but also familiarize oneself with the type of questions that may come on the exam day.

Reading helps in an effective understanding of the subject. However, you also need to get your hand on some good reference material for this purpose. The Achievers Academy has made really good study material for all the subjects. You can download them right away by clicking here.

Start Practising Online Mock Tests

Once you have studied each of the topics thoroughly enough there is only one more thing left to do and that is to start practising online mock tests which will definitely help with clearing this exam on the first attempt. But make sure you are taking these online mock tests regularly so that you don't suffer from test panic when it comes time to take your exam at the final stage.

Focus On General Studies And English For Easy Marks

Yes, focus on subjects like general studies and English. Your syllabus for these two subjects is very limited so it's easy to score about 200 marks without much difficulty. I have seen some people wasting their entire 3 months just by learning unnecessary things from their books which are not at all important for Group 1 exams. This is a big mistake they make, instead of preparing themselves better, they waste their time learning useless stuff.

So concentrate more on general studies. You can seek guidance from Achievers Academy on how to strengthen your General Studies Part.

FAQs On APPSC Group 1 Exam Preparation

Here are some FAQs on APPSC Group 1 preparation which you will definitely face before and after starting your preparation.

How long should I study for this exam?

You need to study only about 3 hours a day for this exam to clear it on the first attempt. Make sure your concepts are very clear and you know what you're going to answer in the exams. This reduces the chances of getting any wrong answers and leads directly to clearing that exam. Here is a complete week plan.

Is it possible to crack this exam without a coaching program?

If any candidate is wondering whether they can do well in their group 1 exams without attending coaching classes, then let me put my frank opinion here – Not Really! It will be really hard to achieve success or good marks in group 1 exams without an effective coaching program.

You can try to crack it on your own, but you need a lot of experience and guidance from an experienced person who has already cleared the exam.

Can I get good marks in this Group 1 exam without any coaching?

It is possible to get good marks by studying from books only. This way you won't have to pay for coaching tuition fees also. However, you will have to study really hard and make use of all the available resources out there. Without a doubt, if you study smartly enough you can easily score at least 150+ marks without attending a coaching class. But if you want to clear these exams on the first attempt then make sure that your concepts are very clear by going through each chapter twice or thrice before attempting mock tests online. But I highly suggest online coaching though!
