Its not the test series. Its the discipline , that it enforces makes you feel trapped.
So try to make writing anwers enjoyable somehow. Do not follow too many rules and focus on writing a good answer.
Answer writing is what you will be tested on , so practice it. Also, if you are trapped really well, you would realise that you have covered more syllabus than people who are not writing tests at regular schedule.
How to increase writing speed? I am still taking 11 minutes per Question in the first hour This results in messing up of answers in last hour.
That is one problem that needs a scientific solution.
I mean, I am aware that slow handwriting is a killer. And *just practise more* is not a solution. You have already done that.
Goto some guy who teaches calligraphy, and ask him if he can help improve the speed or so.
I aware of people who have been successful in doing so. In fact there is a teacher in Chandigarh who provides such training. Some Mr. Ray.
One of the people I work with has been able to improve both handwriting and speed by taking help.
It's high time you seek professional help.
In case you choose not to work on it, then the best thing to do is pray that paper is tough. So everyone leaves many questions and you have an edge.
In case the paper is easy, everyone is going to write 20 questions while you may be stuck at fifteen, running, or at least disturbing your chances.
But do something. If there is a problem, there. Must be a solution. And someone must have solved it before you. So you have no new invention or discovery to make.
Thanks a lot @Neyawnsir I was going through Air 12 (TEJASVI RANA) copy. She has used Flow charts, diagrams... extensively in her answers. Also, the word spacing is very nice. I guess I need to do the same in order to gain time so that I don't compromise on other answers.
To be honest, I do not think that you really need to work on speed issues. I mean, if you can manage with doing the above, and if you are able to solve speed issues, then you must just focus on whatever you are doing right now.
However, if you have real speed issues, do solve it before it just leads to wastage of years.
Why I am saying this is because I met a candidate whom I saw had completed a paper in under 3 hours answering almost all questions in a Test Paper.
A little surpised, I asked him what he had done, since a lot of people - including Doctors , 4rth attempt guys had trouble completing the paper.
He said he had the same problem, and he consulted a teacher and worked on it. And he made drastic improvements. So that is the kind of attitude you should have. If you have a problem, solve it. Dont sit on it unless it kills your 4 years and youth.
If you cant identify the problem or known the problem but cant find a solution, take help from someone. You can see his handwriting below -
