How was your paper? How did you approach the paper?
Everyone who wrote mains this time I would really like to know what worked for you guys this time in prelims?
Considering the kind of unexpected paper that it was this time, still people were able to get such good marks in prelims and able to clear it, I would really like to know what worked for you and what was your 'strategy' ?
You probably missed prelims by v close…I know you had a sound prep. Don’t doubt it. Just keep doing the needful (one ca source and basics) and you’ll be through this time. Sometimes, it’s just a matter of luck and more people should realise that.
100%.
Thoda confidence on your intuition and knowledge + keeping yourself calm in the exam + using past learnings to eliminate 1/2 options is the key, apart from what others said.

Wo parody h 😂😂😂. Yes entertaining, but looking for 'real' horror right now
The Quiet Place was good. Both parts. Although it’s more thriller than horror.
Even better combo this , Thriller+ horror
You can try Don't Breathe
Duryodhan,
Thanks guys! There were some gaps and loopholes in my prep last year which I need to fill. Hence just wanted to know from everyone what worked for them so that could understand where I made mistake and what needs to be done, as prelims hurdle needs to be crossed this time.
Enjoy this break people :)
Horror recommendations (web series) - The hauntings of bly manor and hill house.

If you are above 85 according to the keys, there aren't many issues in the knowledge part. I for one feel sometimes we cannot muster enough courage of taking risks in the paper. Please analyse your performance and if you find that you lacked courage in attempting questions, solve tests to get that roadblock out of the way.
The calculation is pretty simple. If you attempt 10 and mark 7 incorrect with only 3 correct, your net score is still positive. Therefore risk-taking is important in the hall.
Regarding other things, as cliche as it sounds, Static is the king.
