@Raillife i am a working proffessional and i dont even get that much time as i work in one of the essential services.After office .. i get 3-4 hrs .. i engage myself in reading the topic and scribbling fast the important points from the chapter then and there.. in rough page. This way it engages me fully, i am focussed on what i am doing and get hold of things faster. If i just keep on reading my mind wanders.Morning i get up around 4am .. do my chores till 4.30 and sit back to study finishing remaining topics, revise whats already read and attempt the test sharp @7am. Then during the day, as and when i get time in office i revise my test. My score for past 6 test ranged between 50-69M. But i have made it a point to not miss a test. Even if i score low i wont miss it.I do not get enough time to see the videos. I wish to make best use of my weekends. Thats it.I hope this helps u in some way.
wow !
hats of to you mam
I have a full day, yet I keep cribbing that my syllabus is not completed.
Not only that she is scoring well in paper :)@Impavid_Girl

18. Helicopter Money. Should have gone with what I read. Idiot.
19. Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Never read about it. Guessed and got it right. Wait, so why am I writing this.

Patrick_jane,
sfg test - #9 May CA 2020
62.67M - 35C 11W 4U
1. Gopala Krishna Gokhale
2. Non Aligned MOvement membership
3. CBD - I knew it was just opened for signature in earth summit 1992 but thought it was adopted later. Over imposition of logic :P
4. POSHAN Abhiyan - MoWCD. Read a hundred times and forget a hundred times
5. SARFAESI - god knows about that SC judgement
6. National INfrastructure Pipeline - Never heard before. Thought it was some gas pipeline in exam. Turns out totally different
7. Mental Healthcare Act - Very important now especially after what happened to SSR. RIP SSR
8. Thought Botanical Survey of India was autonomous but it isn't.
9. MGNREGA - first of all I missed the rural household itself. So I am out. But I guess some good people might have passed this test and could have thought it wasn't the aim of MGNREGA to strengthen PRI. Anyway nothing to say from my side. Totally fallen flat.
10. Wildlife Protection Act - got correct for totally wrong reasons. Thought state couldn't declare for 'any area'. Turns out state can't declare at all and only centre can. Also remember that even centre can't declare an animal as vermin if it is listen in Schedule 1 or part 2 of second schedule
11. Competition Commission of India. - Totally forgot there was Mo Corporate Affairs. They put the same minister for both finance & CA and I totally forgot there existed two separate ministries after just seeing Nirmala Ji everytime.
12. SAGAR doctrine only for Indian Ocean Region. Now-a-days even though there is a lot of talk about greater indo-pacific at least on paper, we just add pacific everywhere. Seems like this is only IOR. Also this concept is to be read with IOC which also deals with only IOR. India is not a member of IOC though, not even maldives :P
13. One nation one card. Knew about NCBC. But thought that was not indigenous
14. Forgot the concepts of tropical cyclones. BTW what is happening to my memory
15. Energy Transition Index - WEF. Read a lot about this before exam. How india is improving and all. But in exam forgot and put something else.
Okay peeps enjoy your weekend. I think I am going to go with Dil Bechara movie or a rewatch of masaan or may be something else.

Patrick_jane,
People who have written SFG tests earlier, can you throw some light on the range of scores one should be targeting in these tests [the static ones]?
@Joeyisthebest I believe 75+ would be a good score. But it also depends on the test.

Based on Faculty opinions from SFG-1, don't target the score. Target noting and learning mistakes, minimising silly errors. Scores will more or less drop with further tests. FLTs are better for score benchmarking
