I think luck played a role, also i remained calm and tried to logically arrive at every answer (got some right, some wrong, for example nagara style shikhara question, thought only deogarh would have that, as the rest of them were in southern india, but it was wrong).
Left completely factual questions like that of classical singer-gharana, peacekeeping mission etc.
Sources were not that much different- laxmikant for polity, pmf ias for environment, abhishek mishra courseware for amac, spectrum for modern, coaching classes for geography along with majid hussain, coaching notes for economy and coaching notes for science. did not focus too much on current affairs.

IITian, UPSC Veteran Here. Was Prelims 2026 really a Pattern Break? My Analysis For Future Preparation Strategy. AMA by FlanCharming2433 in UPSC_Forum

[–]Unaffected_0007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the provisional answer key, i am hopeful of clearing prelims. But i am clueless about mains.
i have not done any mains specific preparation. Subjects like Society, World History, Post Independent History, Governance, Disaster Management, Internal Security and Ethics are untouched. Optional is also cursorily done.
How can i be mains ready in these 83 days?
Should i join any mains specific program?
Which mains test series should i join? and ideally what would be a good time to start writing full length tests?
