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.

Finish Art & Culture Revision. Gave a mock test. Instead of Ancient & Medeival, I revised Budget & ES. No test analysis done.
Time spent studying - 8.25 Hours
Targets:
- Start Ancient & Medieval Revision (1/2)
- Test Analysis
- SFG Revision (3 tests)
- Mock Test
Disappointing day. Giving a mock is easy, the inertia to analyse it is real. Big backlog now. Was only able to give a mock and do history revision.
Study hours - 5
Targets:
- Ancient & Medieval Revision (2/3)
- Mock Test Analysis - Vision Budget & ES
- SFG Revision (3 Tests) - Try to cover more
Hope tomorrow is better for all of us!
Did the history revision, finished analysing the test. Minimal progress on SFG revision.
Study Hours - 8
Targets:
- Finish Ancient & Medieval Revision
- Test Analysis - Vision Budget & ES
- SFG Revision (3 tests)
- Attempt a Mock Test
Trying to keep the prelims anxiety at bay by not thinking about it at all. Working so far but who knows what unintended consequences it might bring. Indeed, Ignorance is bliss!
Forgot to post yesterday.
Targets:
- Finish Ancient & Medieval (this is taking far too long!)
- Test Analysis - 2 mocks
- Mock Test
Finished history, finally. Instead of one, I gave two mocks yesterday. However, test analysis took a lot of time. Only managed to do 50% of one test. Wasted a study slot and hence couldn't finish all the targets.
Targets:
- Economy (1/4)
- Test Analysis (0.5 + 1)
- Government Schemes
Couldn't study in the first half and the productivity remained low in the second. Did manage to progress across all three but it isn't good enough when the exam is around 30 days away!
Targets:
- Economy (2/4)
- Test Analysis
- Government Schemes
- Mock FLT (If above three get finished!)
I did the test analysis, government schemes and gave a mock. Test analysis took a lot of time and that left very little time for economy revision. Although I did touch upon it for a couple of hours but that isn't good enough for the pace I'd have wanted. Will extend the timeline.
Targets:
- Economy (3/6)
- Test Analysis (2 Tests)
- Government Schemes (If time permits)
Disappointing day friends. Finished one test and did a little bit of revision. Need to trim down the time taken to analyse one test. Today will be better.
Targets:
- Economy (3/6)
- Test Analysis (1 Test)
- Government Schemes (If time permits)
