@HotBloodPrince bhai how many optional do you have!!!?both history and philo k book padh rahe ho!
isiliye history optional ke dost ni banane chahiye, sale spectrum ki jagah nanhe hathon me sekhar bandopadhyay pakda jate hai. Ab ek bar padh li toh usi ko padh rhe hai bhai 😁😁
@Sadhika if possible can you list out the blunders
Let me try to frame it:
#To everyone's surprise I jumped into this in August 2018. Working on the way. I know things atleast a little better now, as I like to believe.
First attempt, first mains and horrors therein:
1. I studied optional without any approach to answer writing. I thought writing GS answers was enough. I had enough knowledge to write atleast average answers, I knew most of the questions, but i couldn't write those in a structured manner. I wrote unidirectional, incomplete, below average answers in a subject like Geography. I only accumulated knowledge and didn't reproduced those learnings in the answer sheet. Also, couldn't attempt 2 subparts.
2. Always struggled to finish paper right from test series to exams. Was not able to bridge those extra 10 minutes. Wrote horrible answers in last 3 questions on average.
3. I only studied things like ARC reports, NITI Aayog strategy document, Best Practices, data, Mains 365, etc taking for granted that I will be able to write them in the paper. Couldn't write most of them as I had not written them multiple times before exams.
4. I had suboptimal content for like 35% of the syllabus.
5. Scattered and incomplete notes.
6. For 1 month I was waiting for mains result and did only GS1(1/2) in that crucial time.
7. The amount of optimism I had for prelims faded during mains preparation. I was overwhelmed that I don't know enough, haven't practiced enough, that my optional is so tough and I don't understand it, that I have lost even before actually fighting, that I have wasted such a good opportunity even before actually wasting it.
8. I had/have little faith in coaching programs/Panch varshiya yojna. So didn't join any except for test series. Don't know if it will be disastrous/other bad things. (These views are subject to change in light of emerging plans/needs). So I didn't had any person in real life to guide about anything.
The above was a recipe for a disaster.
Little good things:
1. Was able to write 77/80 answers in GS.
2. I wasn't afraid of Geography anymore.
3. If I am one of the lowest scorer in mains 2019, I can always show before and after mark sheet. With huge base for improvement. Those % change numbers will be beautiful. :D
Essentially, just trying to be more honest in my efforts and willing to learn, unlearn, relearn about everything in life, wherever it takes me.
Going to start doing this in earnest too!
