POST MAINS 2022 STRATEGY

Hi everyone, a brief background about myself-
I graduated in June,2022 and this was my first attempt, wrote Mains with average preparation (was part of CGP course at FORUM). 
Though I attempted all the questions, I felt that due to lack of rigorous answer writing practice was my answer quality came down drastically during the exam.
My optional is PSIR. I have done SR classes and have studiedonlythe class notes and crash course notes. 

1.What do you think should be my plan in the upcoming months keeping in mind my situation of preparation?
2.How are you guys planning to utilize the upcoming months?

The very first thing you need to be absolutely doing is to get a mains 2023 routine.
should have started around 2,3 weeks back only. but no problems it's not too late yet.
focus on either of these sets (GS1,2,3, Optional) or (Optional, essay, ethics)
do this till sankranthi - Jan 14,15


The very second thing is by republic day Jan -26  should be devoting 6-7 hrs for prelims
and by shivarathri March 15ish - need to put full efforts like 9,10 hrs into prelims 2023 prep

PS: If you get selected for interview in December 2022 results, then things get bit tricky for above prelims & mains prep. But its worth taking risk and going all in for interview and neglect mains a bit but not prelims prep in january 2023.

This is my idea. hope this helps, do comment if any more ideas 


@newyan @sjerngal any other better ideas to manage thisNov-Feb time. I am also having same doubt
