Handwriting Practice? Did you by any chance take that hadnwriting classes ?
Sir, I was slow writer with poor legiblity.On the recommendation of friend I joined handwriting classes last year.I found it good but it requires a lot of patience and practice to transform the handwriting.Abhi bss khud se practice kar leta hun :)
Ok.
You remind me of Yo_Yo_Choti_Singh
I still remeber about 5 years ago, he was the one who arranged handwriting classes in Forum Delhi. When I asked him why waste 4-5K on such classes ( I lacked the experience ), he said Sir if I am able to improve my speed even by 10-15% , I know I will become IAS.
Improve he did.
My expectation was that if I am spending 4-5k on smething like that, my speed should improve by 30-50% or even double.
Looking back I realise, that is neither feasible nor desirable.
Small improvements like a 10-15% is something that is all we need!
Wish you good luck!
Dear forum, thank you for being my companion in this difficult and very excruciating journey. I need a break from this exam, career or perhaps life. Will work for sometime and reconsider my priorities and values which drive the life.
Leaving the exam is as difficult as clearing it. And all the hard work and sacrifices which I have made are flashing in my head. Fromneglecting health and getting hospitalised to not changing my branch despite being eligible for it to skipping college life, placements to crying till my eyes swell after failing prelims. This 4 year long journey comes to an end. This exam cycle is a chakravyuh!
A few months I wrote a blog post mentioning a natkhat_balak. All throughout I did not know that he is tata on the forum!
May you get what you *really* want,@Tata
@Neyawn sir finding difficult to cope up with MGP schedule creating backlogs of tests(kindly advice). Anyone from community could explain how are they managing MGP schedule.
Give one month and half to paper 2 and finish paper 2 tests. Just one paper at a time.
Give another 45 days to only paper 3 and finish them.
Know your own limits, and just try to improve capability. Some people write two tests a week, some people can't write one test in 3 weeks - a lot will depend on your preparation.
Don't jump into wtiting the exam without decent preparation.Annually.
@Neyawn Is it better to note down the mistakes we made in the SFG test in the standard books itself (near the topic) or to note them down in our SFG register? (or both )
[For online test takers who don't get the QPaper printed]
A register of errors is always wonderful. I have seen some brilliant people make it work to their advantage. From not clearing prelims to getting IFS interview call!
Plzzz help me In strategy...for CSE exam
like as how to make short notes and how to revise books how to analyse pyq plzzz
You need to get started with the 4 four basic subjects
Polity, Economy, Modern History, Geography.
Make notes such that they summarise your source. This should take 15 -20 days for each subject ( Polity may take more ).
Everything follows after that.
@Neyawn I am facing many confusions related to short notes.
1) is it necessary for every subject
2) should I make separate short notes for both mains and prelims or a comprehensive one.
3) how much time and space should they take
4) Is this the right time to complete them or should I wait for completing revision, tests and pyqs.
Sir please help.
Quick answer.
1) Make short notes for topics for which there are no standard sources. For example there is no need to make short notes of laxmikant ( unless you are the i-can-only-revise-if-i-make-short-notes )
2) Prioritise note making for mains specific subjects like ethics, internal security etc
3) make short notes for subjects which may have some standard source bit are a pain in the gain to revise - such as art n culture.
4) short notes should be like notes. Only have important points. Don't dump the whole book in notes. Then sell the notes under KBC nano series.

One more thing.
Whenever faced with a huge task, break it into small tasks and finish it. When you frame a question like "do I have to do it for every subject", I fear you have made the problem size so huge, you will collapse under the task burden.
Make it small and doable. Like today is for naxalism - internal security.
Need help.
I am planning to change my room in orn. I want to shift in with people who have previously appeared for mains and are serious for future attempts.[This was my 3rd attempt and 2nd mains].
I feel a strongly knit sincere group can do wonders in this prep which i always felt lacking in my prep.
Do drop a msg if anyone is willing to go ahead with this. I will return to orn by 15th of oct.
Preferably 3/4 people in 1 flat.
Do take a look at Saraswati Vihar location. Plenty of good folks, studious, plus cheaper accomodation and cleaner than ORN. And UPSC junta.
Plus the ORN wali vibes. Has all the things you like about ORN and none of the things you hate about ORN
