There r countless other materials sources which people are refering . 

Day 2 of Posting routine here. Was an above average day to summarise.

1130 Woke up; 1200 On study table, Made a micro plan for today took half an hour but worth it.(Should have done before sleeping) Started my economy static which I planned to finish today from my notebook. So basically, Economy static notebook revision completed except agriculture, 5PM Test 1 Basic Vision revised, Got slow here so 6PM Current affairs of a month for economy done, was supposed to do for 4 months. 8PM Before post dinner rest skimmed through my own small evernote art and culture prelims facts.

Got little lazy post dinner and wasted almost an hour, half of which could have been saved easily.

10PM Skimmed over 11th indian economy NCERT.

1130PM Wasted an hour more.

1230AM Started UPSC PYQ of economics. Vision has this 2000-2016 test form PYQ did that. 187 Questions. took me almost 2.5 hours.

0300 AM -Started Checking the paper, Felt terrible, made mistakes in questions of Monetory policy. And some other simple topics. I still can't get over that. One thing I felt may be could resonate with others, UPSC specially in economy will not tweak questions a lot if asked from some new/complicated topics but if from a common/basic topics like monetory policy, GDP/National accounting, small tweaks will be there. You'll feel, are questions so simple. and they are the ones which were wrong for me.

questions i thought for longer time mostly are right, rather questions which i felt easy got wrong. does not happen that often to me in test series, some things unique to upsc.

Now, will be studying CA economy of a month or two, and sleeping. Just realised, I wrote for too long as I am still not out of that energy how can i mark such simple questions wrong. just those cute looking options, which shout we are the answer but they never were. Will take some time so that i can forgive myself. 😅

A good sleep needed for Abhyas tomorrow. Hope you all have a productive day.

Hey! Some time saving measures I've taken: 

1. I've mademind-maps of all PT-365s and of a number of subjects.

2. Along with that, I try to attempt tests w/n 1 hour (instead of two) and then whileanalyzing it, I read explanations of only those questions which I get wrong. (saves some more time) 

3. While revising, I don't read the topics I've read enough number of times already (important details of which I can directly recall) 

4. When I read CA from two sources, I don't read topics which I've read in Source-1 from Source-2 

5 September-

Tasks Completed-

• Newspaper
• GS full-length test
• Epic June revision 
• Polity (Chapters of the day completed).

-Hey, My weakness is Maths, so, my focus is on my weakness nd m practising daily one topic or sub-topic with PYQs.

- For CSAT I guess PYQs are the best source. My comprehension nd reasoning part is gud, so I try to give 2-3 CSAT mocks in a week just to keep myself confident. 

- Marks between 90-100 is enough (if u r scoring in mocks), we just need 33%.

- So, just focus on your weak areas nd start practising PYQs.

Unacademy Open Mock -Done
OnlyIAS Open Mock -Done

Abhyaas Mock -Done

July Monthly CA -Half done

Analysis of above 3 tests + Forum 5 test 40 remaining questions analysis - To be done today(at least 2 of them)

Pending newspaper of 2 days - to be done today

Article of Rajesh Rajagopalan for my PSIR optional - to be done today

SUNDAY GOING BOOM(Laziness may use Counter cyclical policy tomorrow ;)  )

Lets not rest. LET US DO THE IMPOSSIBLE i.e Prelims 2020

starting from today. 

10:15-11:15- modern history pyq. 

keep going guys. 

Returning after 4 days, had thought that weekly targets would work but it didn't. Plan was to complete Mrunal Pillars 1 to 4, Vision PT 365 CA of Society, Polity and IR and 1 FLT daily but the return has been too poor to even share.

Returning back to daily updates now. But broad idea for next week will be to cover Art and Culture and Economy Pillars upto Pillar 5. Daily one Vision CA booklet to be done or revised and atleast 1 FLT plus some mapping.

Target for 7th September:

1. Mrunal Pillar 5 complete 

2. Art and Culture - Paintings

3. Vision Polity CA

4. 1 FLT and revise mistakes

Has anyone here prepared Ancient and Medieval in a fast track short of way or has some short notes for the basics? I have not covered them apart from some Ancient Basics and it is pretty overwhelming to do it now, but at the same time not knowing them means in every paper I am starting with only 90-92 questions to attempt.
