Hello Dear, Preparing UPSC you will find it very interesting. Do revise all the topics of History, Geography, Political Science that you have read in your school. Now come to the current affairs section. Do read some newspaper, read the important exam oriented issues. This will definitely help you to score a good mark in UPSC. -

Coaching gives you guidance very well but if still you are not opting for it, then you can always take the help of internet. There lots of videos available on YouTube which can guide you. List of books are also available on internet. UPSC exams are difficult and they check the knowledge in depth. So, work hard and plan accordingly! Read the newspaper as currant affairs is a very important topic for UPSC. So, gather as much information as you can from internet and work hard!
All the best!
