Instructors: Acads IFoS
Why this course?
The most important strategy for cracking IFoS is following Previous Year Questions. Understanding question patterns, weightage distribution, and frequently tested concepts through PYQs is absolutely essential for success.
Till now, there has been no dedicated PYQs compilation for IFoS Geology. Most aspirants struggle without proper direction, studying irrelevant topics while missing high-weightage areas.
Acads presents comprehensive IFoS Geology PYQs - systematically organized for maximum efficiency.
Acads presents microtopic-wise PYQs classification:
Before reading any topic, go through PYQs of that microtopic first
List down important topics based on PYQ analysis and weightage
First finish those low hanging fruits - topics with high marks but easy concepts
Focus on finishing theoretical portions first before moving to Numericals.
