Got the book 2 days ago. 450+ how to master upsc mains by Dr. Gaurav sontake and honestly, its super helpful. The tricks are simple and really effective - exactly the kind of stuff that sticks during the mains exam. You can tell the author knows what students struggle with. makes studying a bit less painful. glad i picked it up. also, the mnemonics names are integrated relating to the subject's topic or its subtopic so its very easy to remember too.
