Hi guys
Has anyone tried the OnlyIAS Prahaar material for mains? I was intially using Vision VAM but found it to have lesser dimensions/keywords etc and at times going too deep on a specific point. Or can you suggest some other alternatives?
Thanks!
@SergioRamosHey, I am primarily looking for a source to make Intro - points - conclusion format notes. I just find onlyIAS ones to be a bit concise and upto the point. I have read standard books for polity, economy etc so just trying to merge the two and their material provides the necessary skeleton for this purpose.
I checked Raus mains compass, say for the topic Inclusive growth both have more or less the same point. Raus goes into a bit more depth, but is that depth useful while writing answers? From my limited understanding it's basically generate maximum points, substantiate them and you have a good answer. Have I got it wrong?
And what do you recommend for topics like Society, Governance, Social Justice etc?
Thanks once again.
@SergioRamos@LetsGetThisBreadThanks for the suggestions!
Hi guys,
So I started my prep for mains 2023 around July 1st week due to some family reasons, health reasons and score fluctuations in Prelims keys. This will be my first mains and no matter how hard I try I am unable to get back to pre-prelims productivity. My reading and comprehension speed seems to have fallen off a cliff. Plus the regret of wasting away June (at times unavoidable) is eating me up.
The only consolation is that I have consistently written tests and with some decent score in GS (in 90s with 105+ being what toppers score). But in my optional PSIR it is 90s and 100s (I know pathetic). There is just too much to do with too little time.
Status of notes: Have basic notes for everything except Internal Security and PSIR. But even the notes I have made, I have not revised or internalised well. For PSIR the current plan is to use OnlyIAS revision booklets+ Coaching answer key. . Plus the FOMO of value addition material is also adding upto the anxiety of me being at a significant disadvantage.
Is it possible to pull off mains 2023 or are my chances way too slim? Can you guys suggest what needs to done in the next 45 days?
Also did your mock scores reflect your actual score in mains (especially PSIR)?
Thanks a lot!
