All the best for tomorrow’s CSP-2024 Paper
Tomorrow is the test of whatever you have given to this examination in the last one year or maybe more.
So first of all be Proud of yourself that you have dared to face this examination
Some suggestions:
1) A lot can change with confidence and active mind. It can easily decide whether one is getting 80 marks or 100 marks (difference of around 5 ques)
2) Don’t ever judge yourself while still giving your paper. Be in present and give 100%
3)Don’t rush towards the end of examination. 10 minutes is more than sufficient to solve 20-25 questions in 2nd or 3rd iteration/reading.
4) It is generally noticed that we miss the chances of our selection not because of tough questions but due to blunders that we do in easy questions (especially Polity and economy). So don’t rush in easy questions
5) Don’t match/analyse your answers during break, even if you are strong in CSAT. Take CSAT as seriously or may be more than the first paper.
6) I consider attempting around 50 questions in CSAT as best. Temptation to attempt more might lead to silly mistakes.
Also remember that if the paper is tough than it is tough for everyone. Questions are now generally asked to check your analytical skills and static knowledge.
Believe in yourself and take a good nap to remain most active during the vital hours of tomorrow.
Even if you are not able to sleep, in morning convince your mind that you have slept well and you are very active now. (Psychology can play a very important role sometimes)
All the best for the D-day !! 😇

🔆 Urban Heat Islands
✅ Urban Heat Islands (UHI) are urbanized areas that experience higher temperatures than outlying areas.
✅ Structures such as buildings, roads, and other infrastructure absorb and re-emit the sun’s heat more than natural landscapes such as forests and water bodies.
✅ Urban areas, where these structures are highly concentrated and greenery is limited,become “islands” of higher temperatures relative to outlying areas.
✅ It increases the demand for energy, leads to increased greenhouse gases emissions, discomforts human health and even affects the health of flora and fauna.
▪️The major factors responsible for UHI
✅ Anthropogenic heat
discharges
✅ Absorption of heat
✅ Urban geometry
✅ Greenhouse effect
✅Lack of vegetation
▪️Measures that can be taken to countering UHIs
✅ Promoting natural vegetation
✅ Use of appropriate surface material
✅ Use of white pavement instead of Asphalt
✅Providing appropriate landscape
