    Hi Shivashi,

    In the above mentioned list, we have refer both book and notes? Can you please write on "How to practice?" Shall we start writing just after completion of the topic or it should be done on weekly basis also please mention the number of subjects one should study everyday.

    You are doing a commendable work.
    Thanks.

      Good morning Alisha ji
      Rajasthan Adhyayan books are not available in English yet. Just refer them to learn the facts.

      Good morning ma'am!
      Thank you for reaching back. Ma'am I have gathered class 9th to 12th RBSE books in english. So these along with notes (preferably notes from springboard) and will refer adhyayan books for facts, will that be sufficient?

Busting myths

 Myths related to RAS exam 1. Reading many books Limit your resources. That's the only key to success. Don't go for every book available in the market.

Coaching is compulsory Not at all. To be very honest, I have taken coaching because I was confused & needed guidance. It's not mandatory. You can crack it by self study too. 3. Study for 14-16 hours a day You don't have to study for long hours. I believe studying 5-6 hours is sufficient.
