Mains 2022 - All Papers PDF + R**** Rona + Paper Discussion

Ok, 

I will share tomorrow , how to tackle rbi grade b prelims+ mains

Detailed strategy prelims + Mains 

I am thinking of joining GS Advance Programme Coursealong with RBI prep.

Already a month late; It gets over in March

I had a content issue in mains not a speed issue

Any inputs ? Or anyone who has enrolled in it.

Hmm

I will share tomorrow pakka

Did you have a background in economics or finance ? 

Also please share your strategy for the exam :)

I can list a few issues which I have analyzed inhindsight

1. Was not able to replicate the content of my notes (Dipin sir's classes, also other notes I made, and Ayush sir's Ethics classes) in the exam. I used it in many places but could have done it more considering the time and effort I put into those classes. 

eg. Shadow pandemic could have been used in WFH question GS 1 

2. The exam pressure got to me and I did not pause and think about what to write. I used to do that in Test series on most occasions. I managed exam pressure decently in Prelims. So I should've been able to do it in Mains too. Even though there are only 7/11 minutes to write the answers, we can think and write. There is much more time than we think there is. We should focus on the PROCESSas Dhoni says. I have paid the price for not adhering to it. 

3. Use of writing space could have been more judicious. Many 15 markers were 2.25-2.5 pages. Don't know if that was an issue. 

4. Conclusions could have been more futuristic and way forward type. I unnecessarily went away from it 5-10 days before the exam. I wrote more of two line summary in paragraph form which clearly doesn't seem to have worked for me. 

5. Better time distribution among questions. Wrote 2/3 10/15 markers in 3-4 mins in almost every paper. (But these were mostly questions that I had no idea of)

6. Could have used data, diagrams, graphs and maps a lot more. (It's simple: If we don't do it someone else will and get the edge)

7. Needed to give more time to prepare GS1 Society. More quality content would have helped my cause. 

8. Attempting questions which I have no idea of in a better manner (Eg. IMD colour codes, lion bull, French-Indian President) 

I am ready too.
