The thing I learnt is that there should not be an iota of complacency.
For prelims, I studied and revised(multiple times) all the standard books. I solved PYQs from 2013(not revised though)
Then, I felt safe. I felt that whatever question it may be, it would eventually will be from these topics/books and hence satisfied that I did them well.In the process, I totally blinded myself from the most well established tra of UPSC-"unpredictability".
They say that there's a fine line between being confident and being overconfident. Unknowlingly, I crossed it.
Ugh!!! Whatever.
I hope I learn from these and not be overly confident/complacent, rather be more cautious in future. Signed up for SFG(got into RLG tho) and hope I clear prelims 2022.:D
