Was consistently scoring 115+ in FLTs (GS SCORE OPEN, VISION 26, 27, 28, Edukemy open, onlyias open, ABHYAS 1). Complacency crept in. Decided to attempt the Additional FLT of ABHYAAS (vision). And Boom.Scored a meagre 80.Saw average marks (105). Discussed with friends - everyone got105 +.
May be i didn't focus well (over confident) or i simply didn't know stuff. But this setback was good enough to bring me back from the comforts of my couch. Lesson learnt.

Will try not to relax or become complacent anymore as we enter the final 30 days of this prolonged prelims battle ! When the Prelims cutoff prediction thread does become active at around 5.00 PM on 4th of October, I hope to happily type in my score and contribute, rather than sobbing/crying/ boozing. or contemplating giving up.
cheers mates !
@Freakhoto kharid liya bhai.
target for today :
1. Revise Abhyaas 1, Abhyaas Additional, Edukemy-1 and ONLYIAS-1 (before tomorrow's ABHYAAS and Onlyias)
2. Revise Science and tech + IR (PT 365)
3. Edukemy Test 2 goes live today. Time to bounce back from the horrendous show last time around.
29 days to go ! Countdown has begun fellas ! cheers !
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! :)

High time we shrugged off any kind of complacency and got down to business. I still see people speculating answers on that Prelims thread. Some get aggressive too. Makes me sad. They are clearly missing the larger picture. khaer.. में कौन होता हूँ !
