I consider extension as SANJEEVANI, stick to pre till 20 May. As I have attended SFG 1 and found the Environment SnT and eco need extra effort. I start solving the SFG Test of both batches of above said topics in a same manner as it was in Forumias with similar degree of discipline. After 20 May, schedule myself as per the time given for PT.

@Neyawn sir suggest me, if any, a better strategy

I have done SWOT analysis as:

Strength:

1. Polity

2. Modern history

3. Ancient history

4. Geography

5. Economics


Weakness:

1. Environment

2. Art & Culture

3. Medieval history

4. Current Affairs


Opportunity:

1. Optional (Human Geography)

2. Ethics

3. Attempt remaining tests

4. Complete the book


Threat:

1. Not revising NCERTs and attempted tests

2. Alloting more time to Mains syllabus

3. Losing the momentum


I'll focus more on my 'weaknesses', and will try to cover the 'opportunities'. And will have a checklist to minimise the 'Threats'.

*From 6th May to 20 May---

-Average study time: 11 hr.

-(6 hours) for Prelims oriented study, but more focus on static part + 4 Prelims mock test before 20th May.

-(5 hours): for mains->3 hours - Optional (Anthro), 1 hours - Ethics case studies, 1 hour- daily 2 mains answer writing (PYQs) + Mapwork/Diagrams. With this schedule, I can revise my optional notes.

*If got one-month extension then I'll go with this same schedule for another 5 days but focus on essay and ethics paper only and for rest of the 25 days, will focus only on prelims.
