50 days challenge

@Incoming 
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.

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 

Also you are on right track as far as I remember from your marks in tests ,just keep up the momentum and keep going 

Also remember these lines by Shiv Mangal Suman Ji

गति प्रबल पैरों में भरी 

फिर क्यों रहूं दर दर खडा 

जब आज मेरे सामने 

है रास्ता इतना पडा 

जब तक न मंजिल पा सकूँ, 

तब तक मुझे न विराम है, 

चलना हमारा काम है।

 Hard luck bhai but don’t loose the hope ,keep your spirits high and keep moving 

Do take a short break and go on a tour be in mountains or on a spiritual one and after that get back to studies and work on the areas where you think work needs to be done .

To all other fellow ones here who couldn’t make it through this time remember  this is not the end utilise this time to see your weak points and discover all those mental and physical reserves you still didn’t use and you will come out stronger like Pandavas did after the lakshagrih incident 

Don’t think you are incapable ,what you are showing now is great courage .You will get through this and when you do you will go many places,celebrate great stories .Move many people.Just have belief and faith on your self ,you all will do well 🙌

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 

Plz everyone,solve forum compilation for csat ,

( PYQs ) LR and Maths 

U will thank me after prelims,trust me.

Regards

There is no correlation of abhyaas with actual upsc prelims,so just take it as a exam which helps you to deal with fear by facing such irrelevant questions and stimulating of your brain to think very diversely and at last remain clam despite being such vague questions such that you don’t mess out with easier ones who most of people will be knowing 

Try getting rid of social media in last few weeks. Time to sit for 10-12 hours at least everyday now if you have not cleared prelims before.

No , i use a technique that i call index technique i.e will glance through the index page and will try to recollect what 3-4 things i know about that topic and then just once see why it was in news . Else if i find some totally new topic i just glance through it to check what’s important 

Maths:Number system>permutation & combination>percentage>Ratio and proportion >Average>ages

Number system ( most important)

Reasoning:Direction and distance >ranking>statement based questions 

Do it from forum compilation .

Hi everyone 

All the best

https://forumias.com/blog/a-month-to-prelims-making-the-most-of-last-40-days/

Yaar if someone has cleared prelims multiple times before he or she can do that in one month as they have that past confidence that helps a lot .Also regarding importance of last month preparation-its very crucial it can make or break your chances so plz try to study as much as you can if you get bored by static pick up current affairs if you get  bored by them solve some test ,csat ,pyq but keep studying.Take it like this that you have to study only one month for prelims then never again
