Hey guys, so this is my first comment/post on any prep related platform ever. I thought I needed to say this to get it out of the way before I dive in for the upcoming cycle again. A few days ago, I couldn't clear my second prelims. The first one I wrote in 2021 was with haphazard planning and complete neglect of csat. I scored 7.5 marks below the cut off, so that motivated me to go for the second attempt, thinking I can manage the gap. To be very honest, it felt like I did everything possible (though there's always scope for more). PYQs, sfg 1 and 2, mocks, same source multiple times, and it really felt like I would get through this time. I didn't. It did not feel good. I know in the next few days I can muster up the courage to go for this again, but it is a little exhausting. Kind of feels like I'm doing a diploma in pre for the past two years lol.
What I completely missed out on in my last two attempts was peer support. I barely knew of anyone else preparing until 2/3 months ago. I'm hoping to be a part of this journey with a support group this time :) Will be appearing next year with philo optional (if there's anyone with philo pls let me know). This was just a little venting I needed to do before I decide to go back to 8 hour sittings and soul crushing back pains. A word of caution or advice would be immensely helpful :) thanks!
