Don’t plan for Prelims. Plan for the last 15 days.

When you plan for Prelims, you plan in terms of four months. The moment you imagine having 120 days, you get over-ambitious and start reading unnecessary material.

Plan for the last 15 days instead. What you revise in those 15 days is what will be useful in the exam. In the 105 days before, study only what you can revise in those last 15.

Scarcity leads to innovation and efficiency. That is true for Prelims too.

The last five weeks

• Two complete revisions of the syllabus
• 12 years of GS PYQs in exam-like conditions
• The first three weeks for the penultimate revision
• The last two weeks for the ultimate revision
• Tests only on Sundays
