@thistooshallpass Which GS Score Fact File are you referring for Wildlife Sanctuaries and National parks ? I could find only one on Biosphere Reserves and Hotspots. 

Can you please share the link. Thank you.  

No such file exists for WLS and NP. I am only referring for Biosphere Reserves. For WLS and NP, I am doing the ones in news i.e. the ones in prelims compilations.

Schemes too. Though it’s a massive task to go through them all, PYQs are mostly limited to the ministry concerned and the aims, and outstanding features if any.

Schemes are very difficult. What are you using to do schemes?

How should I cover art and culture if I have not done it yet?

You can also try Rau's Compass C3 magazine. It has 20 pages notes on art & culture. That's all I am doing as well.

@thistooshallpass and others, WII ENVIS (http://wiienvis.nic.in/Database/Species_1067.aspx seems like a comprehensive place to study biodiversity from, although it is really, really humongous. Are there any other sources you guys are studying from?

I am doing only the animals mentioned in Vision PT 365. Otherwise it is too bulky.

"Trends in Indian economy" - where to cover this portion from? Would be very kind if someone could share some material for the same. Thanks in advance! 

I am going to be referring to Vivek sir's book and his 500 Qs question bank - the last few pages have trends.

Could someone please share a list of all those tricks/hack methods for elimination to be used in the exam to try to maximize score. Any help would be appreciated. 

You should watch the video by Hardworking Human that was shared in this thread a few days back. That has some 15-20 hacks.
