Official : Post Daily Routine & Self Assessment (Mains 2020)
@NadanParinda @Agog @Bread_pizza @Dora-the_Explorer
Hey people, I am a newbie here giving attempt in 2021. Couldn't clear prelims in 2018, had 4 months of preparation. 2021 is my second attempt.
I can't decide Whether to go for PT mock tests and it's analysis every Sunday or should I only pick all the PT mocks like 2-3 months prior to Pre2021 only as most toppers say.
I am a part of dipin sir's CA classes as well so it is becoming a little overwhelming for me to complete my targets on weekends.
Any suggestion, learnings from your past attempts would be helpful here.
Anyone please feel free to reply to this.
Seeing your daily schedules here gives me a fillip to put in extra efforts daily and be more committed. All the best you all for pre 2020

I was also facing such dilemmas, and I think everyone who starts the preparation goes through the same.
What I did was, initially I completed NCERTs and mock tests based on them. Plus some MGP sectional Tests of GS 1 & 3.
Then from around November till February, focus shifted towards my Optional (test series).
Started Prelims exclusive preparation from March onwards (Should have started earlier). Attempted mock Tests subject wise. E.g, When I completed Modern History, attempted its tests from Forum and Vision.
Lockdown ke baad kya kya hua, even I don't remember. Gave some sfg Tests (community intiative). It proved most beneficial for me, because I was lost by then.
Now I've decided to do reverse engineering. First I'll attempt test, then will fill my knowledge gap.
Only Final results will tell, if it worked for me or not.
One more thing you can do is to inculcate the habit of reading books and writing journals daily. These help in many ways like fast reading, flow in thoughts or ideas, learn new ideas daily etc.
How I used to write my journal. (Although could not continue. But I'm thinking of counting again)
All the best.
P.S- I suppose this is not the same Gunther. If it is, then I've to say something- "Don't go after Rachel. Bhaav nahi deti tumhe 😛"

you can also take a middle path. start solving mocks from December or January. Till then develop confidence in prelims syllabus and optional. Most well meaning test series starts then only, In normal years marker of it is vision open test 1 which normally takes place in December. (personal view)

Seriously, I wish someone had told me to start keeping a journal/diary/notebook, whatever you want to call it sooner. It doesn't has to be the traditional summarising your day and thoughts kind of thing (though, no problem with that too).
For me personally, writing down key ideas/quotes/facts or any other learning in a small notebook has created a tremendous difference - nothing exhaustive just a few pointers for a day, and maybe even nothing at times. Its all over the place, psychology, philosophy, literature, world history, economics, politics, etc. etc. Had I not written them down, they would eventually turn to smoke and drift away.
What it has done overtime it has giving me kind of like a repository of knowledge (content?) which can be repurposed anywhere. It also helps with Mains, somehow. We'll see. But exam aside, it is definitely a habit I'm keeping for life.

Target (10/08/2020):
- Newspaper
- CA May 2019
- Geography revision
- Test + Analysis
- SFG 8
- Revision of earlier tests
Couldn't complete anything. Read some parts of May CA. Fir din bhar lazyness and aram. Even black coffee ka koi asar nahi hua.
Same target for tomorrow.
sometimes redbull helps...until u become immune to it....6-8 hours k liye charge kar deti hai.....but yes kbhi kbhi next day ki padhai nhi ho paati hai
Deepak802,TabsAndChords@Siddhurules any new news about 4oct?P.s. I think debate on postponement stands closed. Nda admit cards are out for 6 Sept
true
@Gunther Yes, start solving prelims mock tests from January. And I would say do complete your GS 1, 2 & 3 + optional till October Mid. Then pick Ethics + leftover topics and complete them before January. Also do write some Mains mock before January itself. I think a good hold on ethics gives an edge to GS preparation.
@Gunther hey Gunther ,are you part of Dipin Sir's CA Classes for 2021 or 2020?.I'm part of 2021 batch for these classes.
2021 thatvstarted on 25th July.
