Civil services preparation is long and mostly lonely. You can't study a whole day with a partner, but you can have a real person working next to you, on camera, for each block.
None of this says anything about you. It says the arrangement depends on two people remembering.
You book a 25 or 50 minute slot; there is one every quarter hour, around the clock, shown in your own time zone. Whoever booked the same quarter hour is your partner on a video call. You say in one sentence what you'll cover (reading, notes, answer writing, a revision round), then you work. The camera stays on and the microphone can stay muted.
Book a 50 minute block, take a break, book the next. Each slot is matched on its own, so you may meet different people; if you click with someone, you can add them as a favourite after the session and invite them to a time. If you turn on the Agenda you can also keep goals and a history of your sessions.
This is company while you work, not a course. We don't provide study material, advice on the syllabus or ranking, and we are not affiliated with, sponsored or approved by the Union Public Service Commission or any exam body. You choose what you work on.
Yes: there is a slot every quarter hour, around the clock. Whether someone else books it depends on who is around at that hour, which is why the first five minutes are for finding a person.
It's free, no credit card.
One sentence at the start about what you're going to work on is enough. After that you each work on your own: the camera stays on, and the microphone can stay muted from start to finish.
The session starts anyway: for the first five minutes we look for someone while you work. If nobody arrives, you choose: carry on with a virtual companion (not a real person), look for a person in the next quarter hour, or leave. The service is new, so at unusual hours the pool is smaller.
