Mains 2021 Post result Thread: What went wrong and way forward.

For me It's loosing momentum and not peaking at the right time especially near Mains. First two attempts were engaging from reading point of view but couldn't clear prelims. Last two attempts when got a chance to write Mains, lost momentum and began procrastination backed by thought that next time phod denge, abhi chill Maro! Optional is my strong hold(Since it's science optional and hence pretty measurable) but forgot that it too needs practice. Went in the exam hall with bare minimum revision and thought sums could be managed in the exam hall itself ended up sabotaging last Mains. Did learn a bit this time and practiced optional but only Paper 1 and this time screwed paper 2. Over reliance on optional makes me lazy on GS so scoring pathetic there was not surprising at all. So here I am, caught into the cycle of pre and Mains. This time I have decided to give equal focus to both optional and GS and rest will see.
