SFG Batch 2 : Test 20, Question no. 16
Statement 4 : Agams
Official FORUM IAS Answer Key : It says its a Jain Text
But the term Agamas was also used for scriptures of Buddhism, Jainism & Hinduism. The term "Agamas" is not explicitly used by Jainism.
I am providing the reference here. Kindly verify it at the earliest.

ssver2,mickeyviruGuys how to take maximum benefit from sfg??
My all time goes in completing the syllabus of next day,no time for analysing the paper and not even get the time for reading the solutions,forget about the revision
To take maximum benefit from SFG you need to frame a holistic strategy for yourself. Here is what I would suggest.
First of all, you need to segregate daily timing for SFG. Say for example 3-4 hrs for revision of today's paper and 5-6 hours of study for tomorrow's paper. adhere to the time limit strictly. Also, while revising today's paper make notes on it. Short and crisp notes are always beneficial for revision.
Second, keep in mind that this is the final revision that you are doing and hence prepare thoroughly now itself. If you think that you will revise all the bulky books after 17th April once more then it might not be feasible.
Third, after 17 April try to solve at least 10- 15 Simulator tests. Again you need to solve the paper first and then revise it and obviously with notes. This practice will consume at least 8-10 hours a day. Thus you may be able to cover not more than 15 papers by 1st of May.
Fourth, on 1st May all your study needs to be stopped and entire attention needs to be on revisions. If you follow whatever I have said then on 1st May you will have with yourself:
1) 51 SFG Test = approx 2600 question bank (this will include 8 polity test = 400 questions; 13 History tests =750 question, Environment and Economics = 300 questions each; Science and Tech = 100 questions ; Current Affairs = 350 question)
2) At least 10-15 Simulator Test = 1000 to1500 questions
3) Revision of all the essential books like Laxmikanth, Singhania, Spectrum, Economic Survey, etc (which you would have done while preparing for SFG Test)
From 1st May onwards you need to revise Point 1 and 2 i.e. all the papers that you would have solved by then. This would help in :
1) Revising all the subject in a months time which is the most crucial aspect
2) Getting a grasp on demand of prelims
3) As you would revise more than 3500 questions the confidence level will receive a boost.
The main problem in Prelims is not the coverage of the syllabus as you would end up doing everything for clearing prelims. The problem is in revision. If you follow the question paper-based approach then it will help you more in actual paper of UPSC than going for a book revision approach.
Please @Forumias bring out the details for tomorrow's test. you said yesterday that the sfg tests will resume from tomorrow. But yet we have not received any updates from your team. We would be revising for the test if we would know the details. I can understand the pressure and your support for us but I am just requesting to make it soon. Thank you so much.
