CSE 2021: Plan / Strategy / Daily Routine
Hello 2021 aspirants. I thought it would be nice if we can share what we are doing and intend to do with one another here.
This could be a thread for discussing everything prep for 2021.
No one method fits all but to see the plans and progress made by fellow aspirants might help with the finer details of preparation and also keep one on track.

Covered everything but again, at low efficiency. Sigh. The last vision open test was so arbitrary that you don't even want to feel happy about a decent score. It is just your luck in those papers.
Targets:
- Finish Polity Tomorrow
- Mapping (if one subject gets too boring!)
Finished the static portion. Will have to come back to bits of CA later. The mind keeps wandering in weirder places by the day. Seems like infinite things left to read and miniscule time left. In a way, it is comforting to see that I'm not the only one struggling with all of this. May the force be with us!
Targets:
- Modern History (1/2)
- Finish Polity CA (1/2)
- Mapping - Ramsar Sites
- Environment PYQ (1/2)
Edit: Added Polity CA to the list. Might delay other targets but let's try!
No such thing as a schedule left anymore. Just trying to pile everything on my brain and see where it takes me. Did everything except PYQs, will do them now until sleep comes. I feel awfully close to a burnout but I'm hoping I'll be able to delay it by 15 days, so the work continues.
Targets:
- Modern History (2/3)
- Finish Polity CA (2/2)
- Mapping - Biosphere Reserves, Tiger Reserves, Protected Areas in News
- Environment PYQs (as many as possible!)
Good to see everyone back here! Wishing you all a great result day, the winter is here but you're all White Walkers! :D
The day wasn't nice personally for me. Couldn't do a lot, has to be the last unsatisfactory day. Most targets repeat.
However, it has been great to see people from this community achieve their goals today. Super proud of everyone who's made it this year, your hard work has finally fructified. Hope the next year is kinder to the people who missed out. It will eventually happen.
Targets:
- Modern History (2/3)
- Finish Polity CA (2/2)
- Mapping - Finish all protected areas
- Environment PYQs (as many as possible!)
Made considerable progress today. Finished Modern History, will come back to it once more before prelims. Haven't be able to do PYQs, will have to figure a way out. Anyway, tomorrow is going to be kind of an exam simulation day.
Targets:
- GS Mock
- CSAT Mock
- Finish Polity CA
- Finish Polity PYQs
- Mapping - Flora & Fauna

@Freakhoto Yes let's take it what's due from last year.
Had a good day. Gave the two mocks + studied Geography and current affairs.
Last two days weren't great. I can't explain it though. It wasn't that I felt anxious or worried. It was more like wanting to give up; just passively waiting for the end to come. While I tried to power through, it didn't really happen.
Then I took some time out, read through Neyawn's articles over the years on Prelims. Wrote down every tip that I found useful. Not gonna lie, that really pumped me up. I implemented some things today. I'll now implement the rest from tomorrow. Hoping to have two weeks of extreme effort.
How you people are covering govt. Schemes?
I mean through the yearly compilations or some other way? How much to be invested into it.
Not doing them per se. Only doing the monthlies/CA and thus covering whatever scheme is in news. In my opinion, the benefit-cost ratio is poor; it's better to spend that time on something more fruitful.
If you don't want to take the risk of skipping it, take any compilation of schemes and go through the index. Try to remember roughly which scheme is under which ministry. And for those schemes which seem important to you/which seem familiar, go read the details. Skip the rest.
Ideally you can do this in half a day.
Morning everyone,Targets for today:NewspaperEconomy - 1/2 BoPHistory- American civil warJuly CA - 1-1.5 hrEthics: moral & political attitude.Revision of the last week(if time)Didn't post for last 2days as I was really intimidated by the results and toppers' interviews nd all.

Did everything except mapping. I mapped some other places in news instead. Was just figuring out what needs to be done in the last days and it seems like there's so many things still left to be done. The silver lining of the day was that I redeemed my average performance in the forum open mock before this one. Fingers crossed!
Targets
- Economy CA - Hopefully (1/2)
- Finish S&T PYQs
- Mapping - Flora & Fauna
