When to start preparing for forest service exam

Could someone share there strategy as I am clueless? I chose forestry and geology as optionals but have no idea of them.

  • marks kitne a rhe hai abhi pre mai
  • If you are above 130 in pre you may give an hour daily to either of subjects and go all out after results of pre, if below last yrs cutoff- better study for civils ...forest baad main dekh lena jaisa result hoga..

    Most toppers generally have one optional common with civils, and start only after the pre results( atleast thats what most blogs and posts tell)

    Best wishes!

    Thanks. As u rightly mentioned, its better to have a common subject. I don't have it. Are you appearing in forest this year?
  • If your optional is geography then your structural and physical geology portions would be dealt with in the cse mains optional prep. For geology you can start with the technical topics like mineralogy, petrology, paleantology, stratigraphy.

    Thanks. My optional is sociology. Should I prepare forestry first or geology? Is it true that same effort in forestry cud get me better marks than in geology?
