CSE 2021: Plan / Strategy / Daily Routine
Hello 2021 aspirants. I thought it would be nice if we can share what we are doing and intend to do with one another here.
This could be a thread for discussing everything prep for 2021.
No one method fits all but to see the plans and progress made by fellow aspirants might help with the finer details of preparation and also keep one on track.
Moderator Update: This thread has crossed 1 million views and has thousands of comments slowing down the website. We are closing this and moving to the next thread
This year the gap between the recently held prelims and the next prelims is much lesser than it used to be earlier. So, the time for preparation is significantly reduced for aspirants who have already given the prelims this year but were not selected.
So, some areas of the preparation will be impacted. Which area of preparation are you choosing to dilute in view of lack of time? It could be gs-mains/answer writing/ optional/ prelims gs-static/ prelims gs-current affairs. Or is it that you have chosen to devote the same fraction of time to all the areas, which would dilute all the areas a bit?
As for me, I have chosen to dilute mains answer writing in view of my bulky optional (Mathematics). Hence, I would like to know what are your own personal strategies as well as suggestions for me.
Have not planned to this extent until now. As the time advances, automatically some subjects would start getting less attention than they otherwise would have got.
By the way, wish you and others on this thread a very happy and prosperous Deepawali. :)
Happy Deepawali to you too. Happy Deepawali to everyone on this thread.

CoronaForever,naviiin+1. Spectrum is the key. However, you might want to supplement that with random internet sources, since this time (2020) also UPSC asked many questions from outside. Earlier, reading Spectrum used to fetch 100% in modern history.@CoronaForever I think you can follow that and use one book to cover whatever seems to be not covered. People generally use Spectrum for modern history as it is small compared to other books and cover most of the part.

Vinay12,naviiinif you are going to be regular on forum then kindly create an thread for upcoming open test info. I often miss open tests because don't get the information to register beforehand.
since the first post is pinned at top, you can edit them time to time, and open test dates won't get lost in discussions.
Additionally Excel sheets to maintain mock scores among members.
