Mindmap Notes for UPSC & State PSC Exams: Learn/Revise 10X Faster!

• A mind map can turn a long list of boring information into a colourful, memorable and highly organized diagram that works in line with your brain’s natural way of doing things.
• A mind map is hierarchical and reflects relationships among pieces of the whole.
• Whenever you make notes from books or newspapers, instead of writing paragraphs or bullet points, you can make a mind map for the big-picture analysis and better recall.
• How to make a mind map?
  • Step 1: Write the main concept at the centre of the page.
  • Step 2: Write sub-topics around the main concept and link them together.
  • Step 3: Write the key points under each-subtopics.
  • Step 4: Mark relationship (if any) between different points in the mind map.

• Above is the example mind map from our article on the statue of unity issue. Here,
  • Statue of unity – the Main concept
  • Why in news? Who is Patel? Etc – Sub-topics
  • Then the nodes that branch out from sub-topics are key points.
