I didn't find a thread for Psychology Optional, so starting a new one!
Please do mention your resources, strategy and any good test series, if you're taking one
My resources
Paper 1
1. Robert Baron and Cicarelli
2. AK Singh
Paper 2
1. Smarak Swain
The sources I am following are not very different from yours. Those are the standard books of choice for a majority of psych optional people.
What I am doing right now is compiling all of that into my own notes under the different heads mentioned in the syllabus.
Regarding test series, I haven't joined any. Options are limited. For now, I am focussing more on solving PYQs for sections that I finish reading.
I am planning to continue giving priority to Optional for two more weeks before Prelims takes precedence.
What is your strategy? How are you managing your time between prelims and optional? And have you taken any classes?
In quora, there's a person named Dinesh Yadav. He scored around 311 in psychology optional and wrote a very answer for psychology optional strategy. Do read it if you get time.
There's a pdf of the same, but I am not able to find it in my desktop right now.
Just google - Dinesh Yadav + Psychology Optional + UPSC
AIR 9 Psychology 306 has shared his strategy and notes https://ravijainupsc.wordpress.com/2020/09/23/psychology-notes-answer-script/Might be of some help to you guys
Thanks for sharing. Have watched this.
There's another interview of his on Enserio Education, which is more detailed. That's also helpful.
