How can one use INSIGHTS effectivly for IAS EXAM

I think Insight is doing a great job. Keeping in mind that the current trend of UPSC demands lot of contemporary knowledge and its application to real societal issues . Forums like Insights are really helpful in preparation of UPSC. Especially people preparing on their own can make the most of it.
1. Insight Current EventsThey are very good especially for prelims. Reason - say DRDO developed xyz missile. It will explain DRDO and then the features of missile developed. Like thisvery good factual info on government plans, schemes, organisations, institutions, scientific developments , personalities etc you will find. Make notes of it.Also there daily quiz are good for learning and revision
2. Insight Secure Initiative ( very helpful for mains)
*.They post questions related to GS-1 to 4 topics on a daily basis and people write answers. so a platform to write answers and get evaluated. Though time consuming
*.More importantly a good repository of Information. I would daily scan the questions and look for questions which were of high relevance or those where Ihave little info. I would read best answer to get some points or value addition and note them down in my own notes. eg : Question is issues with cyber policies in India.Now someone would have researched on current cyber policy, issues and challenges and also looked into solutions and best practices. Now all this info I can get in one place in the answer.This is researched, refined and most concrete and simple way to collect fodder information of multiple topics and issues.
*.Good for GS4 especially. Read answers on general ethical questions and case study. One good repository.
*.Good place to read others essay and write own’s own on sunday’s3. Insight Plans of self preparationsPeople who can not afford coaching, they can make the most of insights self preparation mode. They set a time table, give targets and put up tests both for prelims and mains. A little tough timetable but good if u are unable to make one for yourself. You can follow directions of Insights self preparation plan.
4. Insight Test series I feel it is very good for prelims. One of the best in terms of questions. Over all 33so a lil bulky to solve. All available on photocopy shops in delhi, some people have uploaded on google drive as well
5. Editorials analysis, TV discussions analysis, Mind maps and articles all very informative and helpful.
6. It also gives lot of information , downloadable stuff, links, preparation strategyof toppers etc.Overall a very good source for UPSC preparation and a very reliable one. I personally gained a lot out of it.
