- Make issue based notes from monthly magazines (I prefer vision)- time intensive but recall value and understanding is good. Could be done if you have optional and ethics in control.
- CA classes- if you have problem in identifying important issues and serious time crunch.
You can also see forum CBP but I have not read them (except PI) so cant comment.
@Freakhoto 2 yr survey or its vision summary is common to everyone's plan baki gs3 me apna toh rabb rakha hai bhaisaab. Will take gs3 last among all gs and optional papers. So not the right man to suggest anything. :)

Could nt achieve much because was analysis what needs to be done for gS 3.
If you guys have please let me know how will go for gs 3@HotBloodPrince @Kapiushon @Archand
Considering this will be my first attempt (hopefully!), I don't really think you should put a lot of weight in what I say because there's no way to benchmark it with what UPSC wants.
Economy:
- Economic Survey 19, NITI 3 Year Action Agenda, Revise Static notes
- Also, consolidate year long current affairs notes into topic wise
- Make list of Policies, Commissions, Data points and relevant notes and integrate them with topic wise notes
- Go through topper answer scripts, PYQs to get pointers on what UPSC wants and so on.
Other Subjects:
- Make use of sources like NDMA Guidelines for disaster management, vision monthly for internal security to ensure comprehensive coverage
- Special emphasis on analysis PYQs of S&T considering their arbitrariness. Focus on COVID19 & space missions considering Chandrayaan 2 & Gaganyaan have been in news.
- Most of the points under the economy sub heading hold here too.
Lastly, I am not even sure if I'll be able to do any of this considering how much time the optional is taking. The idea always needs to be that you customise your prep around your strengths, needs & weaknesses. Incase I am not able to cover the GS papers the way I want to, my focus will be on topper answer scripts, PYQs and writing tests trying to integrate all the content accumulated throughout the year.
All the best! :D
Could not complete the PSIR part yesterday. Spilled over to today's morning session. So, the day starts effectively at 12 noon.
- PSIR: Prepare Short Notes: 1B (9, 10, 11)
- World History: 2 Hours
- Ethics: Attitude (1 Hour)
- Culture: 2 Q-A
Note to self: Come what may, this time you are not going to be over-whelmed.
It was an over-estimated target for a truncated day. Could do only PSIR 1B (9) and Culture.
Target for today:
1. Remaining PSIR short notes for Sec Test 2
2. Revise PSIR notes for Sec Test 1
3. Culture: 2 Q-A
4. World History + AWG: 3 hours
5. Ethics: Attitude: 1 hr
Never overestimate a day, never under estimate a month: Neyawn
Could finish only the PSIR short notes making part. par koi baat nahin, jitna hua accha hua. kuch to hua, bas aise hi har din hote rehna chahiye. Summation of small kuch kuch will lead to Bahut kuch!Target for Today:1. PSIR Section Test: Revise the portion and Appear2. Revise the PSIR Notes made yesterday3. World History: 3 Hour4. Culture: 2 Q-ANote to self: Every single time before my exams, all my friends and family members start having life crisis of their own (silly ones). This time, all such mega events in other lives can wait. Cater to only the statutory requirements!
It was PSIR Day throughout. Wrote first test post Prelims. In first 5 minutes, felt like thumb will get fractured. Inertia gone for good.
Target for today:
PSIR
- Revise for Sectional Test 2
- Short Notes for Sectional Test 3
Casual tibit:
- Culture: 2 Q-A
- World History: Ind Rev
- Post Ind: 2 Wars
Yesterday was 80% good.
Today is performance day.
To appear in two Sectional Tests and related revision. That's it.
After mock of optional feeling like rajpal yadav sitting on temple stairs with no clothes asking for some chocolate aur something to eat. Sab kuch utar gya aj, ego bhi kapde bhi.
Discussion for few questions were asking me like akshay kumar asking nana in welcome "ye kis field me aa gye aap bhaisaab"
😞😞
