@Master didn't have enough time to finish the syllabus, despite giving 80-90% time between prelims and mains to Maths only. could not attempt 110 marks worth of optional paper as a result. Attempted what I had studied decently well.So, expecting a below average score overall.
300 plus club now seems a Ponzi scheme to me 😀 Few people got past that mark. And we the gullible people are lured to it. Understanding concepts and writing in the exam hall are two very different things even in Maths. Now things depend upon scaling. Let's see!
6th Attempt, 4th mains and finally civils journey comes to an end.
Started my journey 5 years ago with enthusiasm at its peak.Gave a half baked attempt along with job. Thought I will give it my all and went for full fledged prep. Now the cycle has finally ended.
My learnings from the journey.. And if people can relate to it..
1.doing a solid homework before jumping in
I messed up with my optional initially and wasted two mains.
2.Not seeking help when required.
3.Loosing momentum after prelims.
4.Failing to realise each stage has its specific demands.
5.Overconfident initially as I was a bright student throughout.
6.Even though my tipping point was reached within first two years of prep, still continued to hang on.
7.Finally luck is an essential element which we don't realise.
However this exam has taught me a lot of life lessons which will always stay.More than knowing about things happening around me, it has made me a more self aware individual.
Apt and to the point. All the very best for your future endeavours. Point 2, 3 and 5 are the reasons for my unsuccessful attempts so far. Will enter into my fifth and last attempt now. Hope to rectify these shortcomings.
