Difference Between WriteSmart Green & Orange Booklets

WriteSmart Green

  • Total Pages: 100 (both sides included)
  • Crafted with centre-stapled binding, exactly like the answer booklets (QCAB) used in the actual exam of UPSC & State Civil Services Mains Exam, helping you to build mental familiarity and confidence.
  • Perfect for simulating real exam conditions during mock tests and test series practice.

WriteSmart Orange

  • Total Pages: 200 (both sides included)
  • Designed with durable wiro binding (metal rings) — significantly more robust than typical plastic spiral binding, keeping pages secure even with frequent handling.
  • Ideal for daily answer-writing practice and note-making, built to last through your entire upsc cse preparation journey.

Size, Quality & Everything else is same in both Notebooks

Why Practicing on Exact QCAB Dimensions Matters

  • The standard A4 page length is 11.69 inches, while the UPSC/State PSC Mains QCAB booklet measures only 10.5 inches in length. Practicing on A4 sheets leads to writing 30–40 extra words per page, which can cost you an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute per page.
  • With 50 pages to fill in the actual exam, this mismatch can lead to a time mismanagement of 25 to 50 minutes, directly affecting the number of questions you can attempt.
  • That’s why it’s crucial to practice on notebooks that match the exact QCAB dimensions — to build time-awareness, rhythm, and real exam efficiency from day one.

Benefits of using WriteSmart

  • Practice on Exact UPSC & State PSC QCAB Page Size.
  • Avoid Overshooting or Undershooting Word Limit.
  • Save Precious Time in each answer.
  • Learn Correct Font Size and Spacing for your Answers.
  • Mental Simulation of Answer-Space Management for Text, Diagrams, and Flowcharts before actual exam.
