Here are my marksheets for the Prelims and Mains of Civil Services Exam 2017. Along with these, I’ve attached my marksheet for CSE 2015 (I’ve skipped CSE 2016.)
A cursory glance at scores from both these attempts should tell you that, with crisp and clear answers, you can drastically improve your Mains scores across the papers. You can read more about how I overcame my failures here.
So my only plea to you is: if your recent Mains scores have been terrible, do not become despondent. I will soon write detailed blog posts on Mains answer writing. Hope they help you in improving your answer content and presentation.

Good Evening Sir,
Congratulations for your achievement.
I am working in a Pvt. Sector Bank in Mumbai for last 7 years (Age-29 years, General Category) which I cannot leave.
I always dream of becoming an IPS officer but till now, I have not started the preparation. There are so many information available online but its somewhere creating confusion.
Regarding the books and your strategy, I wanted to write an email to you but I don’t have your email id. If you could share it over here, it would be great.
Regards
Sir congratulation
I’m sorry I do not have any writing hack to quickly improve the speed. Improving writing speed is just like improving your running speed. Comes only through practice.
I used to have a timer and consistently write some random article from newspapers. Based on the number of words written in the set time, I would consciously work to improve the speed day after day, in a way that my writing speed is enough to finish a 15 marker in 10 min approx.
You can sacrifice the beauty of your handwriting for speed.
