Mains 2021- Last Minute toppers Tips

 Mains 2021- Last Minute toppers Tips

📍 Visit the test centre if you haven't visited till now, especially in delhi, you will find dozens of Atal adarsh schools,  hence easy to get confused, even by Google maps.

📍Mains is the most Predictable stage, hence focus more on questions that you know answer of, unpredictable questions should be given less time. Instead of attempting unpredictable questions with full time, attempt those new questions in 1-2 minutes, write directly what you know, don't bulshit. This gives you more time for writing best answers to predictable questions. 

📍GS answers with no bulshit. Intro and conclusion shouldn't cross more than one two line. Optional answers can have intelligently put bulshit. Here you can write what is not asked too. 

📍If you feel lack of energy to write 6 hours a day, redbull is a good choice, but do try testing it before exam to ensure it suits you. 

📍If you have to choose between quality vs quantity, Always choose quantity. If you can write 14 good answers only, write 10 good answers and 10 decent answers. Attempt the paper fully, (doesn't mean allocate equal time, you can spend just a minute or two on unknown questions)

📍Go with calm and composed mind. I can guarantee you, no matter how much you revise, if you loose your much needed sleep for it, you will be in net loss. 2 hours of sleep is better than five hours of revision.    When your mind is fresh and not sleepy, it can do wonders. Never enter in the exam will sleepy body and tired mind. 

📍Visit temple/mosque etc , or perform an act of generosity, give money to needy, help a person in need. It will give you much needed positivity.

 All the best everyone who is appearing for this exam. Be calm, be composed, be confident. This exam is breakable and you are a superhuman, nothing less. Give all you have. This is the stage which is in control and which matters the most.
