Preparing for the BCS (Bangladesh Civil Service) exam can feel like navigating a maze. With endless book recommendations from peers, Facebook groups, coaching centers, and YouTube influencers, most aspirants end up more confused than confident. The sheer volume of advice out there is overwhelming—and that’s where many go wrong.

Why Most BCS Aspirants Struggle in the Beginning
Let’s face it—preparing for BCS is not just about “studying hard.” It’s about studying smart.

Some even start with advanced topics without mastering the basics.
The result? Time wasted. Motivation lost. Confidence shaken.
