Psychology Optional

@GaryVee and everyone who appeared for mains with psychology optional, what are the challenges you guys felt while writing the paper? How much of notes making should be done before pre? (I still have 4-5 chaps in paper 2 for which notes are not done).. also how is the marking pattern for this subject

@shobhnaraj2326544 The primary challenge is of quick recall, which will happen only if you revise efficiently in the 5 days gap b/w GS & Optional. This will happen when you have revised your base notes multiple time, and then made short notes out of them for quick revision (containing studies, examples, components of theories, etc).

Regarding your 2nd question, it's fine if you don't have notes for 4-5 chapters. It can be managed after Pre.

As for average marking, try to remain in top 10-15%. In my experience, average marks in psych are not good, unfortunately.

Thank you so much@GaryVee
