true par 1 base source hona chaie

maine last year mrunal kara tha but ab samaj nhi arrha kya karu

YES............if not it can endanger minimum 25 questions...........

 Any basic source from where you are reading.........(do it minimum) then switch to questions directly. 

if you solve 500 economy questions & revise i can tell you nothing will be left............... 

Minimum is 11th NCERT and Shankarganesh (as this is thinnest one)

For 500 Questions, Vivek Singh @ Shubhra has shard one pdf, you can get it on freeupscmaterials

What will be the strategy for eco, keeping in mind the 40 days for pre?

Shankar Ganesh and that 500 mcq?

Or sriram selective and 500 mcq?

Hello Everyone 

I hope everyone is doing well .

I feel like I am eating double decker cheese grilled  sandwich when I club geography and economic. Like you know you like it but it makes you feel a bit heavy that you don't want to eat any thing further.

So here is my plan for day 5 

Double decker sandwich cheese grilled  aka geography and economics I have to cover it static portion major part. 

New addition to already covered 4 months will be the ides of march

I go by primary colour rule : Red blue and yellow

  • Red is basic base strong kariye( two subject ying and yang kind of coupling I do) 
  • Blue is current of water updated raho for it forms interconnected wave ripple effect kind 
  • Yellow to me is gold there is  a saying na Sona jitni aag se tap kar nikalata hai; utna hi jyada chamakata hai yellow essential hai  in the end of the day. 

There are certain perks of living and behaving the way others expects; conforming to their certain idea how an individual should be . But, nothing beats the joy of exploring your own perception and opinion about the things you observe. 

Ps I know my analogies are funny :)

bhai how you are doing map work? source/tarika/some samples plzzz

As my optional is geography, it’s a part of our syllabus. Anyway these are some sample map works (note: we only need relative locations, not the exact one):

1. For political map of India, I’ve divided map into grids by drawing major longitude and latitudes. Then the capitals/important places of states relative to these lines.

 Let’s take the PYQ, where it had asked the relative location of Lucknow and Hyderabad. The idea was to know if candidates know that there is sharp turn in peninsular part of India. Similarly, the question of Delhi and Bangalore being on the same longitude. You can also see here that New Delhi is North to all the capitals of Northeast states.

2. Relative location of countries on world map. Overlapping for Countries which have shared boundaries.

3. Map of island countries. Idea is to remember the important one and their relative location with respect to other islands and latitudes/longitudes.


Hope this helps.

@Raillife revise from whatever easy or whatever you've already done. for someone who has not read any text I was suggesting shankarganesh.
1. Revise the the same source, plus schemes, organization and indices.
2. Practice Questions
3. Selective reading from sriram from strictly in accordance to upsc PYQ and test series questions.
4. If time permits selective reading of survey in accordance to prelims OR vision test paper on the same.

@Naadan_Parinda assume if you've to make 50 page last minute revision notes for prelims then how would you proceed.

I’m making notes of Test papers on a note pad. One note pad for each subject. For multiple revisions before the exam.

Sorry bro, no idea. I'm not that tech savvy. In the name of social media, I'm only on telegram, whatsapp and forum (not even on Twitter, fb, insta etc). 

Is there anyone else with the same user name on insights, iasbaba? If there is any, it's not me.

Here is a tool to calculate score and self analyse the result of offline mock tests. Hope it will help my friends here in ForumIAS community to save time and energy.

Note:
  • It is just a simple tool I created for myself.
  • The web-app don't gather any information from anyone. No login. No server analytics. No cookies. No ad. In fact it works even offline once the page is loaded.
  • It is nothing more than a humble act of giving back to ForumIAS community, from which I have gained a lot.

@Philosking Hi, thanks. It's good. 

Just a suggestion...instead of having one correct tab, Divide 'correct' and 'incorect' in three subcategories - Sure shot, 50:50, and Calculated Guess (All amounting to correct and incorrect in the end) - providing accuracy for all three sub categories. I am hoping it won't make much time (speaking from my almost negligible knowledge of html coding) 

It'll be of great use then.

Hi, need some suggestions for prelims 2020:

I haven't prepared CA well, done 5-6 Vision monthly and now have completed S&T, envy. and Polity 365. Do you think revising 365 will be better or I should do something else.

And in static parts should I revise basic books of polity, mod history, environment( I have read them 2-3 times but not in recent 2-3 months), like I understand basic story/ concepts but make mistakes at facts.

So should I revise notes of Laex rapid reckoner or some other short notes or go by test papers. 

Please suggest, I am losing confidence from 2-3 days that now if I can complete things or not?!!
