How to Use HCS PYQs for Preparation
Start by solving one HCS Prelims previous year paper in exam conditions. Set a timer and do not look at the answers. Then check your score with the HCS PYQs with solutions and note every mistake.
Next, sort the questions by subject. Count how many came from History, Polity, Geography, Economy and Haryana GK. This shows which topics carry the most weight in the Haryana Civil Services exam.
Use the HCS CSAT PYQs to practice reasoning and comprehension. Keep a fixed time limit for each section.
For HCS Mains previous year papers, pick a question and write the answer within the word limit. Compare it with the model solution and improve your structure.
Revise your weak topics every week. Solve the same HCS PYQs again after a month to check your improvement. Practice the latest HPSC HCS question papers last, so you know where you stand before the exam.
