After Prelims: the next three months belong to Mains

You’ve checked your answer keys from several sources and, unlike other years, you can’t judge where you stand: confusing questions, keys that disagree, unpredictable cut-offs, a hard CSAT.

There is no point spending more time on it, and no point complaining about UPSC’s unpredictability. You signed up for it. The next exam cycle is barely seven months away, and whichever cycle you are preparing for, the strategy is the same.

Mid-October to mid-January is the time to give entirely to Mains. Stop thinking and start preparing.
