Never discredit the importance of mapping in your UPSC prelims preparation.
To retain an information, it first has to be encoded. Encoding means linking the information with existing knowledge so that the information can become meaningful.
Mapping enables spatial encoding of information. It helps to connect different ideas, events and places visually.
Maps can be used while you learn history, environment, world affairs and obviously geography.
👉🏽Why don't you make a map for the epicenters of first independence war and write leaders associated with them, so that you can learn the chapter on 1857 revolt in a much easier manner?
👉🏽Why don't you make a map for UNESCO heritage sites/ancient caves/temples so that a 50 pages of information can be mentally mapped for quick recognition?
👉🏽Why don't you create a map for all the relevant current affairs protection areas so that your environment current affairs preparation is no more a headache?
Many such maps can be made while you revise your books this month.
👉🏽 Obviously, your Atlas is the best guarantee to correct 3-4 questions that comes from Geography.
