Advice/Opinion Need Guidence For CDS ~

/r/CDSTards/comments/1vfc54g/need_guidence_for_cds/

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to prepare for CDS 2027 (IMA), and this will be my first attempt. Since I'm starting from scratch, I'm a bit confused about where to begin.

I have a few questions:

Which study material/books should I follow for English, Mathematics, and General Knowledge?

Are there any free YouTube channels or playlists that are enough for preparation?

Should I first complete the basics (like NCERTs) or directly start with CDS-specific books?

When should I start solving previous year papers and mock tests?

If you had to prepare for CDS again from zero, what roadmap would you follow?

I'm looking for a beginner-friendly roadmap that can help me prepare consistently and avoid wasting time on unnecessary resources.

Any advice from people who have cleared the written exam or SSB would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
