This is an everything thread for all stuff 2022. You can post your daily goals, end-of-the-day updates, weekly targets or any weird thing you use to measure your progress. You can put into words & post the soul-sucking sadness that is threatening to devour you & your productivity. You can write what made your day & let others experience the happiness too, at least vicariously. This is a thread to pick each other up. This is a thread to keep each other accountable. This is a no-judgement zone.

“This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be a long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time.”
— Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

As much as I try to attempt mocks in rounds, I continuously fail to do so and end up doing the paper in one round. Though for me one round is quite comfortable.
Anyone who has qualified prelims doing one round only?
What should I try to do in upcoming mocks?
If your temperament suits you to attempt in only one round.. Then repeat the same.. A strategy which works multiple times will work another time in all probability. I myself attempt the paper in one go

I do 70/80 questions in the first round itself and leave only those questions for second round where I may arrive at different answer than what I thought at first or those questions where I have absolutely no idea. It has worked for me.

There are many ways to solve the paper.
If solving it in one go makes u feel comfortable and is giving u decent marks with which u expect to qualify prelims, then so be it.
Don't change strategies right before the prelims.
There is no one correct way to solve the paper.
Just make sure that u complete the paper on time, fill the bubbles on time and have no regrets after the paper.
