@RashmirathiPlease provide your inputs regarding - What is your method of revision for prelims and how should one prepare government schemes and mapping?

Your inputs will be really helpful.

For revision wrt Prelims-i try to revise it from standard sources like laxmikant ,spectrum etc ,I have highlighted the important facts and points so i just go through them ( also i am in later attempts so i have done these sources multiple times over the course of my preparation) and just glance through pages vertically i.e not reading every line ,also i open the index of every chapter and try to recollect what all i know and what i am forgetting and then just open that part to read . Also i priortise subject like this - Polity ,Economy,Environment,Science and Tech ,Modern history and in last i do history (ancient,medieval,art and culture) and IR part

Second wrt Govt schemes - I don’t prepare them separately according to me not worth the investment of time and return,also not easy to mug up so much facts given in compilations (again disclaimer-it may not be the best strategy)

Third wrt mapping- i did it extensively in my first attempt i.e went through world map and indian map and there  important physical features .Now i just pick up atlas and on that try to mark places in news and why they were in news

can anyone suggest as to when and how should i revise the notes that i've made from my mocks (sfg + flts), because they're more than a 150 pages 

You can divide these notes into smaller parts like 30 pagers i.e 5 notebooks and can revise them on alternate 3-5 days and mention the date when you revised the notebook and try to revise then 5/6 times ( as with every revision you will able to revise them in lesser time) - it’s something@Steph_Curry  used to do and he was master in this thing

To answer your question regarding revising mock test notes, this is what I did.

  1. When to revise- Keep on revising them daily. I am stressing on 'daily' because these are the notes that represent your hardwork done in the past 2-3 months. Don't leave them without revision and take out atleast 2-3 hours for revising your test notes daily. With time, your revision speed will anyways get faster.


  1. How to revise- Break your notes into 8-9 small booklets of 20 pages each and get them printed (You can vary the number of pages per booklet as per your wish but don't keep a booklet very bulky). Number the booklets from 1-8/9 and revise 1 booklet at a time. When you are finished with a booklet, keep it in the bottom of the pile and start with the next booklet. Keep on repeating this exercise till every booklet is revised 4-5 times atleast 15 days before the D date.

See the photo and let me know if any point is not clear.

It's good , covers both static parts as well as places in news. 

Only issue is handouts are not comprehensive, so running notes are needed to be taken along with.
