How was your paper? How did you approach the paper?
In some questions I have not written conclusion, mostly 10 marker. Will that affect my marks?Nothing to worry..
Time crunch is so much that we tend to forget key points sometimes leave alone the conclusion..
In the microfinance question.. I knew that malegam committee is related to it and I should mention it.. so I wrote in the question paper to write it in the body of the answer..
And guess what..
When I finished the paper and submitted it I saw the question paper again to realise that I missed writing it..
So what is done cannot be undone.. that's the beauty of the exam..
It's a race which u must enjoy and not feel pain due to minor shortcomings
now i realise how tough competition is. malegam didn't even cross my mind😂😂
Hearing of Malegam for the first time😏
You would have heard about it,had you followed the Hindu editorials...
Ok. didn't even touch the Hindu (or any newspaper in that regard).
I tried to make notes fron the hindu. Bt soon realized that i was giving lot of time to this exercise. I shifted back to coaching's CA. I just read news coming as notification in mobile app.
Same here. Understood it after my first prelims went kaput. Master your optional, develop your answer writing skills, prepare for prelims well; the lessons learnt so far. If you've covered prelims well, then that's enough content for mains as well.
This idea is flawed..
Mains requires rigorous preparation..
If you feel you have enough content without going through the editorials then it is highly likely that you will fall into the vicious cycle of appearing for pre and mains every year..
Opinions may vary.. I feel editorials add a lot to the quality of the answers..
And I had been in the phase where you are now.. feeling what I had done was enough.. but it wasn't..
Rest is your choice
Bro reading just editorials and making notes from whole newspaper are two different things. However i will say even if some one has good grip over coaching's CA materials even then he can get good marks while ignoring newspaper.

EiChan,
@zombieland agreed. newspaper function is to only induce a feeling of a good citizen now.anyway, can anyone help me with ethics "examples from personal life" part of the ethics deal. is there any topper notes from where i can get "examples from personal life".
Bhai personal life toh apna hota hai dusre kya batayenge
Hello All, 2022 is my last attempt. Never qualified prelims. Largely due to less mock and less time devoted to it.
I am a working professional. Have covered all GS paper syllabus roughly. Made notes of some topics (mostly GS2 and GS3). Have written 8 mock tests of Vision , but not in stipulated time.
Should I be focussed on prelims only from now? I am in dilemma because even after pre, 3 months are quite less.
Any suggestions ? Mains written/qualified people ?

For mains, more than GS syllabus, covering optional syllabus is what matters. So, if you've covered optional syllabus reasonably well, then concentrate on prelims. If you aren't confident about optional at all, then, if you have that option, consider delaying your last attempt by one year.

if you have never cleared prelims as you mentioned and this is your last attempt as you mentioned and if you are still thinking about mains and getting confused as you mentioned then god bless you.
