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.

Haven’t barely been posting here at all, my progress is depressing honestly. If you guys don’t mind answering - how far are you all along? Have you finished GS, optional completely? How many tests have you given?

Done 2 Gs papers (somehow managed, not 100% set in stone yet) and 1 paper for optional. One thing that helps is to have a fixed date to finish notes making and start revision/ giving tests from then on. You’ll find you’ll only end up making notes for the most crucial stuff and not everything else. And try to make a schedule for giving tests which you ideally don’t deviate from. I tend to do my tests irrespective of my prep status.

My nerves have been getting the better of me recently but this helped me calm down a bit, so thank you! Pretty solid advice.

@almondbrittle This may provide some solace to you. So far I am able to complete only theory part of GS-4, Economy CAs, doing Environment with zero test written. In optional, paper-1 is done and paper-2 only 10%. That's it, that's all so far!!!

It’s alright friend, we’ve got this. End game is all that counts now. :)

Never seen a more daunting exam or prep cycle in my life before. This thing just drains the hell out of a person. 32 days to go including today's. Time for throwing it your all.

Hi . 

How do u people differentiate between analyze  critically analyze and discuss


Please help. I am very confused . I wrote a test and did whatever I could understand from the questions.  But after seeing the model answers ,  I found I interpreted the meaning of directives wrong . Is there any fixed rule ?
