Abhyaas 2 answer is not out yet. How you did the analysis?

Hey! I get restless without analysis right after the test so: 

1. While attempting, I take screenshots of all the questions. 

2. Once the test is finished, I try to quickly cross verify my answers from standard books and the internet.

3. "Half Analysis done" means I've evaluated my test through my research. The rest half will be done once the keys and results are out tomorrow @10.

6th September

Economy PT 365- Complete reading.

Attempted Abhyaas Test 2.

Developed sore throat and fever and there's general fatigue in body so couldn't do complete all targets.

Hope it gets better today, even it does not, keeping high targets for tomorrow and have to be done no matter what.


7th September Targets:

VisionEconomy Test Advanced 1 and 2 revision. India Year book Test and economic survey Test.

Economy Agriculture Static and miscellaneous fact document.

Environment evernote revision.

CSAT PYQ question practice.

Insta Revision plan mistakes Test 20-30 revision.

If time permits, Abhyaas analysis otherwise on 8th September.





Targets completed, i thought Abhyaas answer key is supposed to release yesterday, which was not true. So Abhyaas today. Other things completed. Slept some 1.5 hours more than usual, fever fatigue got better of me. Also, otherwise Wasted some 1 hour which could have been saved. Still rushed and completed targets. Made me realise I am not keeping ambitious targets for myself. today would push little aggressively. let's see.


Targets for 8th September

Polity Start-  Part 1 and 2 Laxmikant+ Parliament.

Polity PYQuestions Give as test.

Abhyaas 1 Analyse and revise. (Did not do at that time )

CSAT PYQ question practice.

Insta Revision plan 1 mistakes Test 20-30 revision.

Insta Revision plan give 3  tests (25 questions each)

Evernote Environment static revision+Sci-Tech note.


Today an hour before I was wrapping up studies, I had one of those negative thoughts what if as soon as I come out of the exam i realise that i am not close to expected cutoff. Usually i don't have such thoughts as i rarely think of results but looks like the last leg is an experience in itself. Will also have to fight such negative thoughts which come out of nowhere. The only way is may be in your study so much, that it is only about the targets of today, everyday.


Hope you all have a productive day.
