EGClasses keeps every article ready for UPSC mains and prelims with SSC overlap notes only where they add recall.
EGClasses 3-15-27 method: Spend 3 minutes to skim headlines (tag discard/keep), 15 minutes to extract 5–7 mains-grade lines with a source, and 27 minutes to build one mini-answer plus one prelims MCQ. This caps the daily CA block at ~45 minutes.
Note structure: Use a narrow table: Issue | Why now | Stakeholders | 2 data points | Diagram hook | SSC overlap fact. The last column keeps Polity/Eco recall sharp without bloating the narrative.
One answer per day: Draft 120–150 words with a map or flowchart. EGClasses answer labs suggest “CTA” format: Context, Thesis, 3 Anchors (data/scheme/case), and a forward Action. Time-box to 9 minutes.
One prelims MCQ: Convert a fact from the same article into a 4-option stem. Log why distractors fail. This keeps CA tied to prelims muscle memory.
Weekly compression: On Sundays, collapse the week into a 2-page brief plus 5 flashcards. Archive PDFs to the dashboard; tag with GS paper and theme (governance, IR, environment, economy, social).
Why it works: CA is bounded, visual, and immediately practiced. EGClasses learners report higher retention and less drift into endless reading.
