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.

Just saw the result of vision open test that was conducted on Sunday, and I feel like a piece of s*** right now.. I'm Literally palpitating because If I reproduce these marks on the D-day, I should just start focusing on 2022. I know vision mocks are no way to judge my performance, but I had a pretty decent test in my opinion.. Turns out, I did not..!
I had no one to share this with, hence posted here.. :(.. It will take some time now for my anxiety to subside.

Modern History - will try to complete
PYQs on the same
Open test analysis
Newspaper
Thats it!
@Freakhoto I am relying much on PYQs this year. Not giving more than 20-30 tests as RoI wasn't that great.@maggiie That will be enough along with PYQs. 2020 Buddhism/Jainism questions were all there in Singhania and PYQ
Modern history done (except acts which I will read tomorrow)
PYQ couldn't be started
Open Test analysis done
Newspaper done
I don't know but I felt so much rush because of the "last month started before pre" thing. Will start meditation again tomorrow.
@sjerngal No its a big no bro! They are a poor parameter to check the progress. Just keep doing what you are doing!
@Infinitybeyondinfinity Thank You, but vision has come out with two different types of compilations this time and both seem quite bulky. Are you doing both or one ? And are you doing it completely ? If you are doing selectively, then what criteria are you using to select what schemes to cover, and how much to cover with respect to a scheme ?
What I used to do last year is I would divide the ministries subject wise and further theme wise and whenever I was covering certain theme ( eg: agriculture) I would complete schemes related to it on that day only ( eg: min of agriculture, fisheries).
For compilation I am thinking of doing govt in news compilation + last year’s compilation ( which is already highlighted)
