@sjerngal How to cover Peripheral topics like Society, IR, Governance, S&T for mains? It is necessary to read static books or notes for it or we can rely on CA and compilations?
Only Ias prahar, and do value addition from MGP,
Same question I had asked from my frd. Nydia waikhom ( air 180) last year, she suggested me the sane thing.
Can people who have written mains suggest how to speed up my writing speed? (Takes me 9-10 mins for 10 markers and almost 15 mins for 15 markers)
I have always been a slow writer and never had really tried to write faster. Should just writing regularly be enough to speed my writing ?
Taking mains this year?
If you have notes ready for your optional, ethics and a decent part of GS, then mains after prelims is fairly manageable..This would be a wise suggestion
When you do MGP or any other test series, try to close those subjects.
For instance if you are doing GS Paper2, write a tests, and solve all PYQs and make short notes of 70-80 topics.
You should be able to say that I have done at least 70-80% of the paper, and rest I will refine after prelims.
Also, do not discount the fact that here the choice is not between. Full prelims + full Mains vs full prelims and some Mains.
The choice is between good prelims and some Mains vs good Mains and no prelims.
Wonderful✨😍 sir🙏

Internalising the mains notes fully should be my focus or making them?
Is it fine if i make notes for mains with decent understanding of them leaving the internalising thing for pre mains gap?
Yes that’s completely fine. Just make sure you’re not reading your notes for the first time. But anyway if you’ve made decent notes, there won’t be much conceptual stuff to internalise, just factual things. Also you’d be surprised but your pre knowledge will also help you with mains in terms of examples, data etc. so after going pre, if you have your note made for mains then internalising it won’t take too much time.
Exactly+1
