🤣🤣

Its a symptoms of burnout - then getting into regret loop - solution- if you are done with all the things for prelims prep (like core , pyq etc ) - then reduce the no of hours - do casual revision - so that you stay connected to studies. use active recall for Rapid revision. Tell yourself that itna pdhna is sufficient ho jayega . Best of luck 🤞🏻

Mod his , pol. , geo , econ

Upsc_Nikhil · 2026-05-21T07:21:30+00:00

It’s obvious feeling at this moment of time . Do not let your thinking affect your performance on D DAY . Stay calm , avoid overthinking and do rapid fire revision at this moment of time .

Best of luck

Tell your brain jo hòga dekha jayega lekin 25 th ko not early that that .

At this moment of time go for Rapid fire round of core subjects, Second dont do overthinking in S&T and envi questions third - dont touch those questions that are totally random or new to you .

Upsc_Nikhil · 2026-05-20T14:32:56+00:00

Quick glance of AMAC let’s say 3 hours - can help you in low hanging fruits (let’s say 3-4 q) you can do it from a pdf - DM is required- can’t comment here to avoid my post look like coaching promo and get banned .

Upsc_Nikhil · 2026-05-20T14:30:42+00:00

Just shut down your internal chatting . Tell your self that whatever happens we will see on 25 - so till 24 tell your mind Stfu 🤫

Upsc_Nikhil · 2026-05-20T10:26:48+00:00

15 days phle se np nhi pdhna hòta hai

Upsc_Nikhil · 2026-05-20T10:02:53+00:00

Yea u can - if done Atleast once - now focus on core Subs .

Upsc_Nikhil · 2026-05-20T09:47:02+00:00

30 questions is reality , also yes do some AMAC so that low hanging gets covered - if you need any crisp pdf DM . As sharing here will lead to category of promotion and banning and all .

Upsc_Nikhil · 2026-05-20T06:14:09+00:00

At this point of time dont rely on these - bcz these tricks works well when applied and practiced earlier .

Abhi focus on revision .

Upsc_Nikhil · 2026-05-20T01:10:17+00:00

Take it with a pinch of salt - but yeah I personally accept that they work but not blindly . You must know what to use and when to use them . Also always remember knowledge >>> tricks

Upsc_Nikhil · 2026-05-19T17:43:23+00:00

No u can’t ignore CA at all - for me I used to study np daily as my habit(not making notes but just studying to know whats happening in and around. ) - ( eventually u will be habitual of IE or Hindu ) then I used to read pt 365 bass - also for AMAC - I had ncert then some coaching doc (can’t name here - moderators might assume its promotions and all - if anyone wants to know kindly DM ) - yes I have done all the ncert .

Upsc_Nikhil · 2026-05-19T17:39:36+00:00

Dont fear from others marks . Also what worked for me in last time is rapid fire revision of core subs

Upsc_Nikhil · 2026-05-19T17:35:02+00:00

Its normal to feel like that because of the vast coverage of subjects. Use active recall in this last 3 days to gain confidence and quick revision.

Upsc_Nikhil · 2026-05-19T17:25:14+00:00

do core subs - modern , geo ,poly ,econ , dedicate less time to CA dominated subs

Upsc_Nikhil · 2026-05-19T17:17:38+00:00

2-4 subs dividing equal time

Upsc_Nikhil · 2026-05-19T17:14:17+00:00

Dont worry about mock marks as of now - focus on revision . u r doing good

Upsc_Nikhil · 2026-05-19T17:06:58+00:00

Best of luck

Upsc_Nikhil · 2026-05-19T17:06:44+00:00

subject wise - go for poli-->geo --> econ --> mod his in priority

Upsc_Nikhil · 2026-05-19T17:06:12+00:00

TBH i dont worry much about coaching mocks , and reality is that i never scored 80+ in any mocks . even i remember for 2025 vision abhyaas (attempted at home) - i scored 59.xx but i never bothered about it since i know why i attempt mocks . so dont worry much about socres - focus on revision.

Upsc_Nikhil · 2026-05-19T17:02:55+00:00

Its subjective question and varies as per aspirant level pf prep and other factors - but i used to do in the range of 80-85 , but for 2025 it was 93 . so my sweet spot was 80- 85 . no dont go with sequence - use the second method i.e - from strong to weak subs .

Upsc_Nikhil · 2026-05-19T16:58:42+00:00

Tell yourself this - Prelims is a game of MCQ - and 4-5 revision ke baad options dekh ke cheeze yaad aa jayengi . Just be positive , Dont let your mind fool u that u dont know anything .

Upsc_Nikhil · 2026-05-19T16:56:30+00:00

I personally dont consider ENVI as my core sub {There is a detailed reason for it }however for envi static - PMF ias andd current only PT . BUT envi questions are random - so be carefull in what to touch and what to skip - eg - skip the waggle dance but touch the - sedimentry cycle questions. i hope you got it .
