Lucent for Revision Only

Previous year question papers + Sample papers

Lucent is only for Revision

Yes! You read it right. Lucent is a perfect revision package. But, it can’t be used for concept building. Aspirants need to read textbooks first for clear concept building. Once the concept is clear, then aspirants may revise from the same textbook or Lucent (general knowledge). But, without concept building reading from Lucent may create confusion. Tools are useful when they are used for the right purpose at the right time, otherwise even the best tool is of no use. It is up to you how you use your tools (books/sources)
