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.

For general Physical Geo, I think both GC Leong and NCERT 11th std. are good books. Since I have read the GC Leong book before, I don't want to switch over to NCERT.@Devanapiyam Any particular reason for referring these sources over NCERTs for geography?
Villanelle,IamThatYes. Potential GDP is usually the sustainable level of output that can be produced without inflating the economy excessively. So when the demand is more than supply due to excess of money then it may rise above potential GDP and that level is usually unsustainable and inflationary. Ideally, potential GDP level should not be crossed.Guys, is it possible for actual GDP to cross potential GDP?
Devanapiyam,Today's target:-
- Newspaper (1.5 hours)
- Geography- Complete the remaining chapters of GC Leong 9-14- I am not going to give time for the last 10 chapters of World Geography. That table at the end of the 14th chapter seems sufficient for studying World Climatic Types + Start reading from Indian Geography by Khullar- Chapter 3 and 4 (8 Days left)
- History Optional- Continue with the 9th chapter of World History by Jain and Mathur
Yesterday, I could not complete reading the World History so I will finish that first. Geography took bulk of my time.

Really bad week. Finally changed my schedule to waking in the day time instead of entire night. Since the last 5 days, I have studied only 2-3 hours everyday, so didn't think it was worthy of update. This was because of trying to keep awake in such hours when I usually sleep, was difficult, plus couldn't get sleep either in the past few days because of changed sleep timings. Finally got on track somewhat today. Studied ~6 hours.
Updates: (chronological order preserved)
- 8+9 NCERT Geography
- 10th NCERT Geography - 20 pages
- 70 pages (70/84) of Vision November CA Revision
- Forum Sectional Test #2 (Geography) + Solution review (only 25% done)
- Huge CA backlog (12+13+15+16 March Factly, 12+13+14 March SH DNA)
- Environment (15/350 pages) :(
No regrets though. Had to do this sometime before the exam. The sooner, the better. Now, the routine trouble is sorted out, looking forward to 9+ hours from tomorrow onwards.
Today's target:-
- Newspaper
- Geography- Chapter
20-25 from D.R. Khullar (First Reading) (6 Days left)- this brings the
first reading of the geography to a close. When I revise this in May
again, I plan to make short notes of important facts related to Indian
Physiography, Drainage, Climate, Population composition, Major Crops and
Mineral resources to revise them just few weeks before the Prelims.
Today's target:-
- Newspaper
- I am starting with the Economy from today onwards- I have decided to follow the notes of Sriram Academy+ Eco Survey summary just like last time- Starting with 1-100 pages of Sriram Academy notes (14 Days left)
- CSAT- 1 hour
Geography left me exhausted. I feel like I have read a lot in a very short period of time.
AJ_,IamThatToday's target:-
- Newspaper
- Economy- Pages 121-217 Sriram Academy notes (13 Days left)
- CSAT
Yesterday, I read till 120 pages in Economy. I realized that it is not taking much time as I had read it thoroughly last year. So I did 3+ hours of CSAT. I guess that will help in tomorrow's State PCS. Today also I am planning to practice more CSAT.
Today's target:-
- Newspaper
- Economy- Complete the remaining pages of Sriram Academy notes (12 Days left)
- History Optional- World History- Chapter 3 from Jain and Mathur book
Yesterday, gave state PCS, now I would focus on my optional and try to complete as much as I can before June. Plan is to make sure that I give maximum mocks between Pre and Mains. This time not giving mocks left me unprepared for Mains as I focused more on revision and completion of syllabus. Not gonna make that mistake again.
