Strategy after prelims

Friends,

First of all, Eid Mubarak to one and all. I hope you are doing well. By now, you might have already matched your answers with one/two answer keys. If you are scoring more than 85 in Paper 1(unreserved category) with passing marks in CSAT, you can very well start your preparation from today or tomorrow.

Don't waste much of your time in speculation and disputed questions, these 10-15 days before the Prelims result is a very crucial time. You can cover Ethics/Essay/some portion of Optional in this time gap. I would like to emphasize this point especially for the first timers/people expecting their first mains that do not get involved in unnecessary discussion, you will regret it later. Also, keep this in mind that this time, the duration between Prelims and Mains is slightly lesser than 2022 and 2023.

Just stay positive, I also want to tell you the power of staying positive after the exam. In 2021, I cleared the prelims with the cut off marks i.e. 87.25 just because I was confident enough of clearing it. I know similar instances of some other people as well.

For those, who are not in the range of safe cut off. Take a week's rest and start contemplating your mistakes. Don't worry! Everything happens for good but you also have to make sure that this good turns out to be the Best for you and you see this failure positively, making necessary changes in your preparation strategy or in your life in general.

P.S. Above marks is a safe range, not in any way reflects prediction of cut off.

Regards.
