Day 1-2: Start Early with a Revision Plan 

The revision plan is as follows for the exam: 

  • Start the revision with the pointer notes and short notes with the previous year's paper questions.

  • Depending on the weaknesses and strengths, divide your time. 

  • Mathematics and General Awareness require daily practice. 

Day 3-4: Focus on Syllabus and Exam Pattern 

These days there is no need to start something new, only to revise and analyze the previous year's paper.

  • Do not start a new topic, and try to revise the important topics. 

  • Maintain the short notes to revise all the important topics.

  • For Mathematics maintain the formula sheet and revise it thoroughly with the concept. 

Day 5-6: Practice with Formula Sheet and Previous Year Papers 

It's important to have short notes and a formula sheet along with the previous year's papers. 

For the different subjects, maintain the list of important topics; for grammar, maintain vocab words. Make sure to go through the key areas and the principles.  

Day 7: Avoid Giving any Random Mock tests 

As mock tests help the applicant to analyse their performance, they must choose the mock test wisely. 


Mock tests must not be overdone, but learn from the mistakes of previous mock tests and prepare that topic afterwards. The top CDS coaching in India, MKC provides free mock tests for the CDS 2 2025 exam.
