Anyone joining SR CC for 2021 ?
Thanks
Pre ke bad will most probably join
This time, Maam is covering half of the cash course before pre itself.
Half? I think 6 lectures only. Have not joined her previous crash course, I think is 1 lecture is of 3 hrs then 6 lectures are manageable after prelims.
Yes that is what half means and also test discussion separately.
Jai Shree Ram !

Same plan but i am apprehensive about Online test as I am not sincere so giving test for 3hr at home is achilles heel.
PS : Anyone who faced similar problem and now able to complete 3 hr tests can tell me how to do it !

Tentative hote hai time table. In last two years, i have never seen the institute sticking to the schedule. Infact, test discussion videos are, at times, posted very very late.

Initial tests toh sectional honge, 1.5 hours each.
initially i had trouble in writing 3 hours test, but sooner i realised with practise only it will come. Initially write open book answers, would be very effective exercise of answer writing for optionals. Good luck : )

Yes, answer writing before pre would be good. Would make journey post prelims comfortable and smooth.

I face the same problem. I am planning to write tests with friends over a Discord server. I've heard of other people doing it on Zoom/Hangout. I'll tell you how it goes.

@Jammu I think you're referring to the full answer writing development course of Ma'am. There is one which is starting in June which has 8 tests; 4 before pre and 4 after.

@KropotkinSchmopotkin Please do!
Guys for simulating a real 3 hour mains exam I think changing where you sit, if possible, will help. Or just clearing your desk. Anything to set it apart from the usual condition and reinforce to yourself that the 3 hours are not business as usual.
From my limited experience, feeling tired and fatigued in a test won't happen if you know the answers well. You will feel excited to write the answers and won't even realise how the three hours go by. So finding the exam difficult to give could be a symptom of revision not being enough, and not a problem in itself that you need to worry about separately.
