How do u gonna complete everything in such a short span of time, via notes?

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

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.

Medieval India [✓]- Still not very confident about this.

Does anyone have a list of all the medieval India's offices and terms noted at one place along with their meaning and significance? Like jagirdars, zamindars, mansabdars etc. 

PT365 - Culture [✓]- Will need one more revision of this. 

Rau's FLT -3,4 [✓]- These were particularly easy. 

Modern Indian History (Mindmap) - [✓] 

Rau's Prelims Compass [History and Culture]- ~40% done
