PSIR - Strategy, resources & discussion

@thesleepyhead Ummm, maybe we should write some full length tests too apart from the daily thing we are doing. I am worried now.

Phir KBC ka agla sawaal aata hai : PY FLTs or some actual test series? Check DM.

Anyone joining SR CC for 2021 ? 


                                                                                                                                           Thanks

@babu_bisleri  Planning to. Giving June and July to psir, thought it would be good if answer writing can be included as well. Wbu?

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 !

@babu_bisleri I write sectional test (1.5 hours) every morning. I know this is overkill but it became a necessity for me as I was taking 4-5 hours to complete a 3 hr test at home when I gave it casually ( It was so casual that I even used to have tea breaks between the test). So I decided to time the test and submit the paper as soon as the time's up even if the answer sheet is blank. Believe me, all the sincerity will come when you score a 20-30 out of 120. I did it for 2 weeks, now I complete the paper (full test- which I give every saturday) with 5 minutes to spare .

@whatonly you overcame this thing after pre ? Must have took some revision ! I feel confident wrt concepts in most of the psir topics but cant recall keyword and scholars of even Part a of Paper1 sometimes. As you suggested will try revising and write the paper. Thanks a ton !!


@Aquaman I can relate to the break b/w writing test thing, it is just me. Can I DM you ? like how you do it and all ?

Haan after prelims only. I didn't even do answer writing before prelims. That was not smart and could have backfired in my face, but I do think doing full length tests can wait until after prelims. Revision is far more important now.

Bhala ho aapka. :p

@nerdfighter @CaptainPeralta This is quite a story about SR! Then what happened to that legal notice? I wanted to join it too after college but then I saw the exorbitant amount that she charges + the duration of the course, aur phir mera hriday parivartan hogya :p

@Villanelle bach gaye! The trashing we do is not over the top :P

@thesleepyhead She told us one day that the matter had been taken care of and then the telegram group was blocked so that no one could message and the doubt classes came to a minimum, and any doubt about the timeline of the course was hardly entertained.

As@babu_bisleri said, we were just given handouts and pdfs to go through, not much happened after that.


Wow! And last year, I was kinda feeling bad for not joining the course since everyone around me had joined it. 😂

But it's true, one of my friends told me that Plato went for 25 odd lectures in their batch and I was like, itna toh khud Plato ne nai bola hai :p

@thesleepyhead lol. ours was limited to the notes being incoherent and those checkboxes in tests making no sense. yaha toh kuch aur hi chal raha :P


I, today feel low key proud of my extraordinary decision making skills. :p
