CSE 2022: Plan/ Strategy/ Daily Routine
This is an everything thread for all stuff 2022. You can post your daily goals, end-of-the-day updates, weekly targets or any weird thing you use to measure your progress. You can put into words & post the soul-sucking sadness that is threatening to devour you & your productivity. You can write what made your day & let others experience the happiness too, at least vicariously. This is a thread to pick each other up. This is a thread to keep each other accountable. This is a no-judgement zone.
--------
“This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be a long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time.”
— Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Anduin,
Hi, I’m back again, asking for help 😅
My optional is history but I am rarely able to solve history questions in prelims, especially in 2020’s paper. Should I be employing a different strategy (if yes, then what) or should I just focus on strong points (map based, polity, economy, art and culture) ? Considering that im not too strong in science questions & okay-ish in environment (it’s a gamble), I feel like I should I borrow some strategies from pros here, who score well no matter how hard the paper is.
I usually don’t know questions that can get too factual - Mongolian invasion , subsidiary states, Gandhi’s book/ poem whatever it was, and I think one question was about a city’s significance (?).

Not a pro who can score well no matter how hard the paper is ( not even close) but I do have History as optional and recently finished analyzing this year Prelims Paper. Some observations:
- Out of 20 questions in History +Art and Culture, 8 -10 could be solved from basic sources+ elimination itself. Does not matter whether you read Spectrum+ TN Class 11 or Old NCERTs. This includes question on Dholavira, Post-Gupta Period, Mongol Invasion/Vasco De Gama, August 1942, INA Trials etc.
- Few where 2 options could be eliminated like Chausath Yogini, Burzahom etc.
- Some questions like Gandhi's book, Mitakshara etc. were supposed to be left alone in my opinion.
- So one could attempt 12-15 out of 20 simply based on proper revision of standard sources and some presence of mind which seems sufficient to me looking at the cutoffs.
So I don't think there is anything drastic that you need to do in terms of sources from History/A&C questions in prelims. If you struggle with remembering facts, you can try using active recall techniques. Also you can draw rough timelines (not exact dates) of what is happening where in a particular century. This might help in correlating events. For eg, you would have studied that Deva Raya II ruled in mid 15th century under Vijayanagara topic and separately you would have studied Vasco De Gama coming to India at end of 15th century under Arrival of Europeans topic as well. So creating timeline charts may help visualize the entire flow of history and not just events in silos.
