But not anymore!

After 2008, UPSC has moved way beyond the “established’ syllabus and is now venturing into the realm of unpredictability. The questions asked now are dynamic and application based having a close linkage with the underlying concepts. The truth is, UPSC has exhausted its pool of “traditional” questions and is now asking questions not only from esoteric topics but also from the well-defined syllabus, but with a twist (i.e. application of concepts, allied concepts, concepts in conjugation).
So, in order to score well in Geography Optional, you have to move beyond what you have already been doing. What everyone has been doing. You not only have to master, traditional topics but also prepare for “non-traditional” topics UPSC test you on.
That's where "Guidance Optional Test Series" helps you. Our tests are designed in such a way that they not only help you master the traditional areas of syllabus but also prepare you for the unpredictable.
