With less than a month left for the RJS and APO Mains examinations, the preparation strategy must now shift from extensive study to focused and effective revision. The preliminary stage is complete, and now the candidates who have successfully qualified the Prelims are set to appear for the Mains — a crucial phase that demands clarity, precision, and structured answers. At this stage, it is important for aspirants to streamline their preparation, concentrate on important topics, and build answer-writing speed and quality. In this article, we will discuss how students can make the most of the remaining time with a smart revision strategy to maximize their performance in the Mains examination.
Create a Detailed Study Schedule: Start by preparing a clear and realistic study plan. Break the syllabus into simple and difficult topics, and assign time slots to each. Stick to this schedule strictly. Use a revision table and tick off topics as you complete them to stay on track.
Divide the syllabus: Divide subjects into smaller sections. After studying each section, attempt related Mains-style questions. This helps in better understanding and retention, and boosts writing confidence.
Practice Regularly: Solve previous years’ Rajasthan APO Mains papers to understand the question pattern and required answer structure. Regular practice is key to improving speed and clarity.
Mock Tests are a Must: Take regular mock tests to simulate the real exam. This improves time management and builds confidence. Review your performance, spot your weak areas, and adjust your strategy accordingly.
Focus on Key Concepts and Case Laws: Ensure you have a strong grasp of legal fundamentals, major provisions, and important case laws. Revise them frequently so they stay fresh in your mind. Case law-based questions are common in the Mains.
Use Short Study Notes: Make short notes with important legal terms, definitions, and core points. These are useful for quick revision, especially in the last few days.
Improve Answer Writing Skills: Practice writing answers to previous questions regularly. Focus on clarity, structure, and legal reasoning. Seek feedback from mentors to polish your style and make your answers exam-ready.
Conclusion: This final month should be used wisely with a focus on revision, mock tests, and writing practice.
