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.

Day 21/30 targets-(lagging by 2.5 days)

1. Eco-Pillar 5(keeping it light)

2. Anubhav FLT(Only GS)

3. PYQ class- during breaks if not feeling like studying.

Note to myself- One reason for growing anxiety is lack of validation on what I am reading in Pillar 5 and 6, the topics have low yield vs effort considering so many random facts.Will just go through the schemes and initiatives casually unless something is prominent.
Another reason for anxiety is the way I failed to recall the static questions or the basic ones due to overthinking(clearly 7-8 questions would have been added in the kitty- difference b/w who will and who won't, a pattern observed in simulators also).Need to make a choice between revising and consolidating vs chasing the unknown by overcoming FOMO.

Will chalk out the plan for remaining 26 days by tomorrow which sd be rational and sancrosanct!

@Mohit31 how was the level of pre pareekshan test today?

It was nicely set. A good mix of easy to difficult questions focussed on conceptual clarity( good traps forcing you to doubt about what you already know correctly).No fancy stuff to break your morale.Testing on what you should know as a well read person observing daily events while being strong in basics.
