2022-01-05 12:20:49 Good morning all

So THE mains is starting less than 48 hours now and mostly this time will be spent in doing the logistics setup. See your mains centre today itself, check the local covid rules and change in routes, if any.

Now you don't have to write anything or read anything new....just revise your keywords. Also tomorrow, that is 6th Jan should only be used for Essay prep. It can really make a difference.

Get your documents ready - admit card, ID Card. Take new pens to the exam so that they won't end midway.

Most importantly go with FULL Confidence that you'll perform in the best manner you can. Don't think about the result....have this attitude of 'I am the best' for entire mains.


I am hereby sharing some of the 'Last minute self notes' which I wrote just before the mains day to boost up my confidence and reaffirm my efforts. It might be helpful.


All the best
Chakk de phadde.


Go write your own destiny, quite literally.

2022-01-04 17:03:21 This post is for those who are writing Mains 2021.

Hello,

Keeping it short, here are 7 things you MUST do in next 4 days before you write first paper of CSM-21

1. Sleep-wake cycle:
Please get back to normal sleep-wake cycle. Sleep adequately and everyday. Yes, your productivity should be at peak in next week but at the same time ensure good-sound sleep. Wake up at 7am anyhow. Eat healthy food, drink more water than caffeine.

2. What’s the agenda for next 4 days:
Based on your own priorities, find your own agenda for next 4 days. Revise most important stuff as much as you can. Revise basic ratta wala stuff like basic Laxmikant, History content and other data related stuff etc, etc. But have a predetermined agenda for next 4days. And you have to revise entire GS in these days anyhow.

3. Forget about optional now:
Completely forget about the next set of papers of 15,16th January. Give dedicated 6 hours slot for Essay paper. Collect good content on major themes. Read toppers answer copies (both in Essay and GS)

4. Write papers:
In my opinion it would be a good exercise if you write a couple of mock papers in these days, may vary, I do not insist. Not at all

5. Figure out:
How are you going to reach the exam centre, what if there will be COVID-19 restrictions, what all stuff do you need to carry? Water bottles or not? Etc, etc. Do it now so that when everything will go south on the day of exam, you will be confident.

6. Faith fights fear:
Anxiety, fear and frustration is natural. You must be feeling whether you will pass or not? Is your prep sufficient? What is remaining will definitely not be asked
At this point of time no matter how clichéd it sounds but you are going do best, the best of what you imagine, just have faith and hope.
Remember in the end it is not about losing or winning the battle on the ground but it’s definitely about winning the battle in your mind.

7. As of now there will be no postponement of CSM21. In my opinion it won’t happen. Just prepare yourself for the fact that may be, May be everything wrong and uncertain might actually happen on D-Day. But, You don’t have to bother about such things, always control the controllable.

I hope, for all of you, irrespective of the outcome, this CSM-21 will be one hell of an experience.
And, yes,
When you are writing, write like you have nothing to leave.!

Best wishes,
Kaptaan

P.S.
Try to attempt all the questions, push yourself in the exam and Innovate in your answers as much as you can.! Open / Comment

2022-01-04 17:02:28 For those appearing for upcoming mains -

1.Whatever u have studied till now is enough to write good answers. So believe in ur preparation .

2. Revise the portion syllabus point wise- It'll give u more confidence of having covered every syllabus topic.

3. Use common sense in the questions where u do not know any facts or information and write according to keywords in the questions

4. Present ur answer well.. make boxes, headings, subheadings, maps, flpwchart acc to question

5. Attempt ALL the questions at any cost. No Excuse.

6. Sleep and rest etc decide according to ur personality type and convenience

7. Don't discuss questions after the exam and directly start revising the next paper.

8. Use general facts like WHO, WB, NITI, ARC, Census, NFHS etc even if u don't know the exact figures write using logic n average data.

9. keep telling urself that u r going to clear it. If the paper is difficult it's difficult for all and not u alone.
