Hard work vs Smart Work

Hard work may help you to complete your tasks but you may not be able to do so efficiently, and that’s where smart work comes into play.

In school, we would have come across both hard workers and smart workers. Hard workers would study the entire year, make notes and prepare hard for examinations. Smart worker completes the urgent and important task first and leave the rest for later. Smart workers would pay more attention to their final goal and clear the examinations in flying colors spending less time, energy and money!W.B.C.S Examination syllabus is huge and smart work and hard work  must go hand in hand.

Know what to study and what not

There is no shortage of books, materials or coaching in the market, but there is no proper guidance regarding what to study and what not. The root concept of smart work for clearing WBCS exam lies in the same – knowing what to study and what not.

If you are thinking that you need to read N number of books , attend WBCS classroom coaching at ABC institute, BCD institute and XYZ institute for specialized classes for each subject, browse 15-20 websites and prepare notes from 5-10 newspapers and magazines each day to clear WBCS, you are probably wrong. The exaggerated actions highlighted above are Utopian cases, which are neither practical nor necessary to clear Civil Services Exam. Even if an imaginary person does all what is stated above, there is still chance that he/she not clear Prelims/Mains.Create a timetable and it is sure to help in the long run.

So what matters in WBCS preparation is not the quantity (volume) of materials one had gone through, but the quality of learning and revision done. Besides, aspirants should develop personalized strategies knowing their strengths and weaknesses, as general strategies might not work in individual cases.Choose the optional subject wisely as it is of  utmost importance.As books in physical form are an indispensable prerequisite for WBCS preparation, candidates should not worry spending a few bucks on the necessary books for WBCS exams.

Two versions of candidates can be observed if we keenly analyze the book buying habit of aspirants. The first group are extremely reluctant to spend on books, though they are happy to spend thousands on coaching classes (without any use), drinks, latest gadgets or parties.

The second version of aspirants consider being a book collector as the prerequisite for becoming an actual collector. Rooms of these guys can at any time beat any central library in terms of quantity of materials.

Though books are life long assets and the money spend on books can be seen as an investment, you should also consider the time factor. You have only limited time and WBCS does not expect you to read all the text books and magazines available in the market.

So candidates are advised to adopt a basic minimum program in the case of books and study materials that should be bought. Depending upon on time available, you may expand your book base from this basic minimum.Solving previous years question papers are a must.

Conclusion

In short, right materials along with a focused approach in alignment with the WBCS syllabus and previous question papers is the mantra for clearing WBCS exams with minimum time, effort and expense. Hard work without focus might not help you, but smart work in the direction required by WBCS surely will!
