- Mock + analysis
- Basis the mock test and PYQs, create a strategy for last 30 days {This will be the final strategy}
- Make a list of topics that are asked repeatedly and make tables for easy memorization (1/3)
That's all. Thank you for motivating me yesterday. I am looking forward to the joke@HotBloodPrince.Thank you for reminding me again of Neyawn's rule@ssver2.
Happy teachers day to all the teachers out here.

OFF TOPIC :-
"IAS BABA has become a big name in this prep specially prelims may be through their 60 days program."
If i assume the above statement true....... then PRELIMS Rapid Revision Series (RRS) - 500 HIGH PROBABLE TOPICS for UPSC PRELIMS 2020 that has been launched by them has an average viewership of 14k+ daily.......
based on the above data can I conclude that these ppl are the only competition we are going to face at the prelims (approx) stage ??? at max 18k ?? just trying to understand the competition..........

Cherry picking is the only option which seems doable to me. The other option is also solving multiple (as in lot of) tests and analysing the solution, the questions about govt schemes are prepared well from there and they most probably will cherry pick for you as most important schemes would be covered.
For IUCN Species, what I have done is PT 2020 species, PT 2019 species. I don't think there's any sense in going more than that, because ROI would reduce significantly. That is what I am doing and thinking
Requesting if someone can answer, have been struggling with a silly confusion for a long time.
For current affairs I read newspaper for a year, read monthly current affairs magazines of Vision till Feb, have read March to May PT of vision. I also have read IR PT, Environment PT, Half of Govt Schemes PT and then the it started looking like exam would be postponed and I started preparing mains. Now the problem is I have not read the other PTs and now I feel a little scared to pick the plain new PTs even when I know most of the things in it, are the ones I have revised from monthly compilations 2-3 times. But that fear of picking up plain PTs at this point is scaring me. Do you think PTs have more content than monthly? Concluding, Do you think my plan of now revising subjects whose PT i have read from PTs and subjects whose PT I have not read from monthly compilations is not a very bad one or i am being idiotic here. If someone can guide, would be thankful.
P.S- I have done a prelims Specific revision from monthly compilations earlier and have highlighted pre-specific content in the vision monthly magazines.

No, PT365 don’t have extra content like you don’t feel out of blue, just take out your old monthly pts & I suppose you r referring to Pt 365 & read side by side. like if you’ll revise science by monthly magazine and side by side see PT365 of science& tech you realise more or less both r the same.

Hershey,
I would suggest that you should give the 1st reading of the 100 questions ke solutions in 120 minutes.. Just blitz through them. Speed read.. Mark anything written in bold. Then your net subsequent readings and revisions / jottings can be done in 2 or 1 hour Depending on how sharp your eye for relevant information is. If you know the kind of questions that are asked in prelims, you will know what to ignore (any science thing too technical for non science student, any committe and its long list of recommendations, details of any agreement signed by India or anything that is simply too detailed).
In the end instead of completing 1 reading in 5 hours. You complete 2 or even three readings.. And have noted down the crux of everything too.
And keep in mind that there is difference between revising and rereading. So in your second or subsequent readings, instead of just rereading stuff, ask yourself what you remember about that and see if you can vaguely recall "ki haan iss mein aisa tha.. Kuch to technology thi..yeh exception tha.. Wo river thi. . Haan haan yaad aa raha hai". Jo yaad nahi aaya.. Wo phir se padh lo. But this is how you encode that bit of info into your brain (technically speaking)
The more you practice recalling here, the more the chances that you will be able to do that in a shoddy room with possibly malfunctioning fan and eyes of the invigilator "checking you out" on the 4th of October.
See if this works! Cheers! :)
Hi, this will be my first attempt this year and am feeling a bit nervous about the whole experience sort of thing. Veterans please can you please guide me regarding any specific do's and don'ts that you may have gained by your experience, specifically for these last 30 days
Any advice is highly appreciated :)
