Finally a functional app from forum.

AIR1 app is quite nice, 

1. PYQ and question practice is as it should be.

2. Exam hall Pomodoro: invigilator's exit reminder is hilarious.

3. (stressed about future?) quotes are Witty and meaningful. 

The small size, minimalist layout closely playing on the bauhaus design philosophy gives the app a modern and functional design. [(Theme -->Asamai Blue :D) gives it an Indian twist.]

However:

Android : A few bugs every now and then.

iOS : Home page and analytics does not work. (non-functional as of now)

Note : for registration it will Only accept the forum's actual Username as Name.(eg. spartanSKV)

Acing ka toh pata nahi, every test exposes a new blind spot :p

Plan to give one FLT every Sunday till mid April, then 2/week till 10th/11th May. It’s hard to find the ideal balance between giving enough FLTs for practice but not overdoing it by writing too many. Let’s see how things go. 

How’s everyone else doing? Kaise chal rahe hai mocks?@DancingMaster @AdiTea @happySisyphus

@mango managing CA is becoming a task, and as you said every test exposes a new blind spot (in my case even in static)

well not much to give as a community update this time. Preps going about the same with some bad days coming to say hii. 

sfg is going decent, accomplished the last week's target i think its time to change the benchmark now@DancingMaster 😛 (to be fair environment is my subject and the margin was not very large so the battle continues :p)

heres the update : - 



FLTs - i don't know they have become my escape ( imean the are fun i know i should be revising and reading books but every 2nd day i go give a FLT (another benefit of shifting to karol bagh, any day you can find a coaching having an open test) 

The performance is kinda mid :- 

Next Ias totaly anhilated me - that game so many lessons on how to solve very tough and lenghty paper. 

Vajiram was meh won't be attempting their open mocks in the future. 

Abhyass is coming thats the next battle ground 🫵🏻. Rest the experiment is on to know weak and strong areas. 

Current weakness and scope for improvement : - 

1) Mapping - Straight up +10 marks bhai, i attempt all the map questions because i am familiar with all the places had done mapping back in August iirc. A revision and updating latest places and we good to go. 

2) Polity - Factual part (FLTs which ask core bare act expetions have to revise this been a long time since last revisit) 

3) Defence - Science overall is strong have to get done with the basics of defence tho (+2 to +4)

4) IR - the institutions are killing me 😭 (Insights FLT ask 15qs from IR every time and thats adding to the knowldge base but have to do it once from PT) 

5) CA - this above average due to consistent Newspaper reading (have to do PTs tho i feel sleepy every time i open them) 

yeah so thats about it for now, kinda trying to get myself to attempt less Qs but the heart doesn't agree.

PS : - got a book on answer writting (Unmazed by Sirivennela IPS (Author)) so thats where the fridays and saturday evening slot goes. A good read for someone who is a little scared for mains. Sometimes i also brush up some topics of my optional during these slots because no SFG the next day (mostly socio political philosophy (also helps in polity ideologies Qs).

 


clueless little kid.
