Actual Notes by our PGP candidate: Click HERE
Disadvantages of ready-made notes:
- Ready-made notes are brief (short), point-to-point items that can be easily read but you cannot understand the whole topic, isn’t it?
- They don’t give you complete understanding of the subject.
- The examiner can easily recognize that the answers are written based on ready-made notes because they know each and every bit of the subject.
- Important notes are nothing but crap. It is always best to read the core areas and prepare your own notes.
- Ready-made notes are written long back and they don’t contain the day-to-day-happenings on the given subject. You should read the Editorial sections of the newspapers.
- Ready-made notes DO NOT allow you to think independently, they make you follow them, thereby limiting your own thoughts.
- Answers, if written on the basis of ready-made notes, aren’t considered as genuine.
- Ready-made notes do not represent bigger picture of the subject which you can get if you read the reference books.
- Ready-made notes cannot compete with reference books, no way!
Disadvantages of lectures:
- Every person who gives you lecture is a human being just like you. He/she teaches you after reading it from the reference books, so why can’t you do it yourself?
- You spend precious time on travel for the lectures.
- No one can give you everything in a couple of hours’ lecture.
- You lose attention after 20-25 minutes.
- You are made to write down main points so your complete attention is on this one and you lose the main focus.
- The Lecturer thinks that every student’s intellectual capability is same so as the level of understanding; but this is not good for every student.
- Not every one can deliver effective lecture so the benefits are less.
- Lectures do not teach you analytical thinking, which is a must for MPSC/UPSC exams.
- A lecture is forgotten after 48 hours.
DO NOT waste your precious money and time over ready-made notes. You must prepare notes on your own after careful and in-depth study of the reference books.
You only need proper guidance and nothing else. Your hard work pays in the end.
Believe in yourself and do it on your own!!!
We at AD’s IAS Academy DO NOT provide ready-made notes and DO NOT conduct any Lecture.
We provide you the key to your success and the growth towards your Aim!!!
