what is wrong with philosophy takers?

Starting this thread to know better of the issue " what the heck is wrong with philosophy takers?" Why is there no sharing of material like other optionals? Don't say now that material is out there because philosophy has a lot of depth and many members are known to have some good pdfs and notes to explain certain difficult topics. Plus I also don't see people helping each other out that too often compared to other optional guys. Come on guys "help the brethren" or is it that this optional has the coward most lot on the forum who is too much afraid of healthy competition?

  • What material do you seek?
    Philosophy optional is small, but need intense revision unlike other optionals. So it's better to revise your notes or books which you have read. It's futile to go beyond them.
  • @Rocky_Sultan
    Ping me @naaz.rachna@gmail.com
    need to discuss something...

  • Bhai I have palmer..if anybody wants it I'll share..I think read minimum, revise maximum and write well is the key..
  • Correctly said bhai
    I went over many materials apart from my basic patanjali books like Palmer vision standard books(lenghty)
    But I didn't remember things exactly when I wrote mains as I didn't revise from single source multiple times after understanding it.
    This proved me importance of understanding and revision of philosophy.

    Bro there is no need of asking anyone any material. Purchase any material either patanjali or mitra from orn market and read,understand, re read,understand better and revise to get clear-cut concepts. This is the approach to philosophy. And regarding true competition, you can top the exam next year if u just do above things sincerely. Hope u got what u want. Even I thought like you earlier but there is no shortcut in philosophy you need to understand concepts well. This comes by reading a topic from single source and relating it with other topics after reading all the topics once even if you understand them little in the first reading. After multiple readings you get clarity of all topics and their linkages.
  • I have Mitra's test series in PDF format.If you want it then could post here.
  • This is the first 4 test. Will post more if required and don't worry just keep reading and revising from your notes.
    The main problem in philosophy is that after writing few lines one gets struck especially in contemporary.
    Presently I m trying to finish the second paper. Want to complete the whole syllabus by Jan 2017 end.

    bro, if u talk dat way, it means only one thing - " u do'nt understand what philosophy optional is"

    if u are a fresher and clueless about philo prep , interact with me for a while and i will provide you enlightnment so that you don' think d way u are thinking now.
  • Btw sultan u can see how people have responded to ur thread...coward, etc...but philosophy people are like Buddha..kch bhi bolo hum hi accept krte tumhari baatein... :D
