Best wishes + Paper Discussion Mains 2024

Scrolling through over here I saw a discssion thread for every year but didn't find one for the next year.

So, this thread is dedicated to the discssions regarding CSE 2024. Anyone planning to appear for the exam next year can join the discussion.

Looking at the level of paper and kind of questions asked this year, I believe we are going to need a lot of support from each other. Hopefully this thread will grow and help a lot of aspirants, both old and new.

We can do it.

how many hours do you guys  take to cover daily sfg syllabus ?  for me its consuming the whole day. 

around 8 hours, I tend to have very little faith in my retention abilities so I prefer slow reading or re-reading lines, hence the long hours, this is despite 4-5 iterations of the book

Is there a excel spreadsheet for posting prelim mock scores ? If so, please share the link. 

None that I'm aware of, you can create one, we all can add our scores to that sheet

@Incoming I am inept at creating the ones which automatically updates the average scores, etc... Else would have shared. Generally, community members do put up a link by January, as noted from past two years. Guess, I'll wait for someone to post it.

My sfg scores (polity) seem to have plateaued around 60-65 (irrespective of the difficulty of the test), unable to break this ceiling, whereas my sfg peers are in the mid-late 70s, requesting inputs.. @Neyawn sir, your suggestions?

P.S : i've fixed the problem of silly mistakes to some extent, apart from that what more should i do

@Incoming try revising only the starred facts in the morning before the test. It helps a lot. I have seen a jump in my score by 5-7 marks whenever my mind and body allows me to wake up @5.
