Some questions, IDK if this is the right place for them
What is the level of the entrance exam for SFG Level 1?
Is there any way I can access past entrance test papers for reference?
How much time should I set aside for SFG entrance prep?

Additionally, if I hope to join SFG starting December 7, and need to take out some time before that for entrance test prep, how do I utilise my time beginning now?

Thanks.

@Neyawn  Sir pls reply if you can. thanks

Why are you feeling lost?

Prioritise things for the month.

One good way to proceed would be to give 20 days each to GS 2, GS 3, and GS 4 and write the tests. See how youbare doing.

And because you have had trouble clearing prelims before try to solve anywhere between 25 to 50 questions everyday. You can refer to the prelims toolkit for it.

Whatever you do, you do it well.

October's task is to be done in Oct, Nov's in Nov and Dec's in Dec. Do not import work of Jan 2025 in Oct 2024. Similarly do not postpone today's work to tomorrow.

Also everyday divide the day into two parts . When youbare tired doing the same thing, change the subject in second part, such as take up your otional.

This is one of the ways to proceed. There can be other ways too.

Who are you talking about? 

This kid cleared prelims in 4rth attempt or so and was in SFG - offline mode.

She was personally recommend by our very famous old forum user

Anyone that old who can tell what is ☝️username ?

I am a little afraid of your question, because it appears that you think that by enrolling for a course you can get selected. That is far from the case. You don't get six pack abs by paying for gym membership. The hard work has to follow.

You have to do it.

It will require effort.

Done with the mid-terms. 

Today, will spend the day covering my optional backlog– prepare notes for Tom Jones and write answers. Additionally, need to start work on my MA dissertation from today. 

Will resume GS targets from tomorrow. 

Very bad day. Could only partially do the notes. 

1. Finish yesterday's targets

2. Phy geo lectures 15,16/38

Bad days make me not want to post. Anyways, the update is I am done with notes and answers of Tom Jones, and partially notes of Hard Times. This is a hectic month at the university– back to back seminars + dissertation work. 

GS has been on nearly a total break. 

For today, 

1. Phy Geo lectures 15,16/38

2. Hard Times answer writing
