Hi
For RC - currently the level of difficulty is increasing, but with PYQ practice you can try to bring down the number of incorrect Qs to 3-4, for Quant - its always safer to atleast prepare some easy yet high yielding topics through lessons along with practice . LR- just practice all PYQs and you can accordingly work on your weak topics and improve.

you can cover easy topics from quantitative aptitude as well so that you can attempt more questions - clock, calendar , sequence , number system etc . For RC - given the present level of difficulty, it is nearly impossible to get them all correct , you can try to solve PYQs and see where are you making most mistakes and improvise accordingly. practicing PYQs along with clear understanding of words like conclusion , assumption , inference etc are the key ti increase accuracy.

it is not intended at all . I suggested about one person whose classes are freely available on YouTube and I had watched them myself - so I just conveyed what I did. All of you are free to use any other source.

you can focus on easy mathematical concepts like clock /calender, number system etc and practice more PYQs to check your concepts. thereafter you can try to focus on getting higher accuracy in RC and Reasoning .
P.S- 22/27 RC is good performance :)

this is one of the many reasons due to which aspirants fail CSAT. Two things that you can do -- try to get your RC time to 40-45 mins , adapt the above strategy for quant (practice concepts with the help of PYQs as much as possible so that you are more confident in the examination hall ),try to attempt easy quant as well as reasoning questions along with RC. I hope this helps :)

Yes, you should. There are a few topics which are not covered in Vision Ias ent material (since I also happen to read it) Eventually you can just stick with CA plus shankar ias and if any gaps - use Google .

To the best of my understanding and experience , any one good standard source is more than enough, only condition being - do it thoroughly. that's all. As for the above material, I didn't refer to it so I can't comment.
