[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021

Because of the corona virus issue? If it does not happen then worst affected will be people whose interview is stuck, around 600-700 such people I think are yet to appear for their interview.


@neyawn sir and others, what is your take?

This is the official Thread for discussion of Prelims Postponement, Please do not create new threads for the same.

@Joeyisthebest @Raillife i was a student of his June 2019 batch (online mode) . His lectures are extremely good . But there are certain pros and cons. I too was in the same dilemma but after reading the review of few senior members here , I decided to go ahead. By far He is the most knowledgeable teacher I have ever had the pleasure of learning from . But his gs2 series is of massive 105 lectures. Yeah , yeah I know it’s huge, but it’s just the tip of the iceberg . Every lecture has 3 parts of 45 min each. So total it’s around 315 lectures of 40 min. I am not kidding. 
It goes on for a period of 5 months . Although the lectures are pretty informative but more than 70% is repetition of Laxmikant. But that’s not actually the demerit of the teacher , it’s the demerit of the subject I would say. He has to cover each and every bit of the syllabus and that requires reiterating what’s already given in Laxmikant. Rest 30 is great learning but it’s not like if u don’t join u would lose something vital.  He gives u really good insight about the subject. 
But as I said it’s very very time consuming so if you have the liberty of time and money go ahead .

@Raillife  I think you can refer SHUBHRA RANAJAN GS2 booklet published in 2018 in Q& A format.(total 3 volume )
Quality of content is very good.
Can you tell me where one can find vision VAM.

@Raillife honestly I think it’s a fantastic approach which would give you high return . I would suggest supplementing with Shubra Ranjan booklets and notes.

Wizard publication:the pages are of low quality,may also have some mistakes( download official upsc key) but so do others like new vishal and disha....this worked for me because i liked the format ...the questions are given above and the solutions below...i also saw other publications but the solution is given on back of the book.....
3: After completing any one full test series...say vision i think you can try tests of all coaching selectively ( 5 or 6 tests per coaching)... preferably full length tests....that would take you to 50+ tests in total and i think it would be sufficient


I have always liked Wizard only. Answers are given at the bottom of the page. As neyawn sir says, see the PYQ during having food. My whole confidence in PYQs came from Wizards's Compilation. Not sure about the key errors though.
