Mistakes to Avoid

Mistakes to Avoid

  1. Not being in the prelims mode - Not just studying, but actively thinking about what all were studied - Active recall & Avoiding distractions 

2. Not being in the MCQ Mode - active solving of PYQ

3. Overdoing Mocks because Mocks vary from PYQs - in Q. language and Q. Area

What all to collect from mocks

. Are my concepts correct?

. Are there any new facts, add them to notes 

4. Revision and prioritising topics

5. FOMO

6. Ignoring CSAT, especially Comprehension 

7. Not in the right mindset, keeping baggage of failure(s)

RIGHT MINDSET = I'LL CLEAR PRELIMS THIS TIME

3. Positive thoughts before starting the day 

4. Avoid distractions (phone) while studying 

5. Be accountable 

6. Steps for each subject:  PYQ>NOTES>TESTS>CA
