Thanks@Kasturi22 for creating this page.
I am completely new to the subject. Started my preparation from basics. Went through some basic video lectures on Youtube to understand the evolution of Psychology. I also watched a few lectures of Yale psychology course as mentioned by Metali Sethi in one of her articles but didn't find it much relevant. I have started with NCERT and would be continuing with Baron and Smarak Swain after completing NCERT as mentioned by most of the toppers.
@shubham543 You can skip NCERT and read Baron directly. May be once you complete Baron, you can have a look at NCERT.
Aftwr going through learning chapter from baron and ciceralli ... i think cocerralli is very far better than baron of on has no class acess.

There's nothing we can do about CSAT (keys are bound to vary). We would have to accept that there will be no clarity for the next 40 days.
The best course of action is to move forward with the assumption that we will be in, otherwise if we squander these crucial days, the regret will haunt us forever, if we do clear.
I have not decided on the course of action as such (was taking a break of a day or two) but I feel the approach should be heavily based on PYQs and answer writing.
Analysing the PYQs (sorted by topic) would give us a list offocus areas and so we can prepare those areas first and augment what we read in books from further internet research on these topics (for recent studies, etc).
We can also prepare a list of important studies and experiments that can be used in our answers. There are some fundamental theories like those on attitude change and so on, which can be used in different answers, especially in Paper 2. So we can compile a list of such things as well.
Do let me know what have you guys planned!
