Study method

How to use mind maps for UPSC prelims and mains

  1. 1

    Start with the map, then the details

    Open a topic's map before reading the chapter. Knowing its parts, causes and people first makes the notes easier to place and remember.

  2. 2

    Link static topics to the news

    Mains questions often join a syllabus topic to a current issue. Use a topic's connections to see where today's headline fits in.

  3. 3

    Revise on a schedule

    Mark a topic revised after its quiz. Throvic brings it back after 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days, and keeps a daily streak on your device.

  4. 4

    Expand where you're weak

    If a concept on the map is unfamiliar, expand it. It becomes its own branch with a summary and a source to read.
