Guys this is my second prelims , couldn't prepare much after mains debacle ,just revising current affairs and thinking of life decisions


The thing is when I attempt mocks , I feel like I have hit a saturation point around 105-110 ,good score but not ideal buffer range


 i don't want to risk real exam by attempting without proper revision , anyone in same boat?

Guys, How is Raus pre pareekhsan? Do they fall in the same category as Vision Abhyas? Pretty comfortable with simulators I guess, looking for 2/3 full mocks of other institutes.

@Master  Rau Pre-Pareekshan 3 was good but more inclined to static than CA , I attempted only the first simulator,so can't compare but would say 140+ aberrations are difficult in Raus ,100-110 is possible

In comparison with abhyas ,Pre pareekshan lacks the extra depth analytical and factual CA data as seen in abhyas but Rau's makes it difficult with respect to static factual statements

I have been scoring in 70s in all FLTs. I know I lack hold on some static portion. Trying to revise more and more in coming days and hope I will be able to sail through Prelims. I somehow feel that now it is about holding nerves, not panicking and doing whatever I can in next few days.

I would suggest you to revise whatever you have done till now. Solve PYQs again and again. See what are the important topics which are repetitive and focus more on that. 
Don;t think too much about scores, just revise revise revise whatever you have done till now....until you feel like puking !

@sjerngal Thanks. I am revising everyday. I feel there might be lack of coverage of topics. I have covered all basic material but something still seem to be missing.

Kindly avoid Vajiram and Ravi. They are in a parallel universe. They complicate the questions and language unnessarily.

How much are you guys able to score in Vision FLTs? Particularly 24, 25, 26 and 27.

What is a good score in these tests?

My scores are ranging up from 108 to as low as 72 in one of the test.

Hi @sjerngal ,
Need a suggestion regarding next 20 days plan !

Although i have covered Static syllabus twice (almost) ,but due to paucity of time i couldn't solve many test series (only gave forum simulators & vision abhyaas - scoring around 80 in both) + did 2004-21 PYQs. 
in the next few days what would you suggest to people in my situation.
a) take more mocks
b) do 1/2 extra revisions
if possible kindly share your knowledge on how to proceed/ what you did for last 18 days before prelims :)

Last year, I stopped giving mocks 2 weeks before prelims.
I focussed on following things in decreasing order of priority.

  •  Revision of basic books (static)- must have revised minimum 5-6 times for each subject
  • Solving Pyqs from 1995 onwards - three times
  • Revising Current affairs 4-5 times
  • Going from already solved mocks and attempting the questions that I had done wrong earlier


At this point focus more on revision. There will be an open simulator on 22nd. You may give that, but no mocks after that, in my opinion. 
Avoid the FOMO and revise revise revise !!!

There is a PYQ, which says radio waves have very long wavelength, and upsc key marks it incorrect, but radio waves do longest wavelength. Anyone?
