Effective visualization during study sessions enhances retention for UPSC by aiding memory through imagery and association. When candidates create mental images of what they study, they are more likely to recall information during examinations. Using diagrams, charts, and mind maps during preparation can clarify complex concepts, making them easier to understand. Visual aids break down information into digestible parts, reinforcing learning through multiple modalities. Consequently, improved retention leads to better performance in both the Preliminary and Mains examinations.
