1) 1st mains with philo(2nd attempt over all). So no previous score.
2) For Indian - Only Mitra printed, Ambrish notes for hegel. For Western - Only Mitra printed + Ambrish for contemporary. For social and Political - Only hand written Patanjali. for religion - 1) Patanjali printed - for god, soul 2) Mitra for religious experience, religious absolutism and pluralism, religious language 3) Crash course videos - for God topic
3) No strategy. Fell short of time. prepared mainly after prelims. Did note making (key things) after prelims. Wrote 1 test only at vision (as no time). For paper 2, wrote some answers.
4) No test series as such. Only one test
5) Did Q1, Q2, Q3 Q5 Q7 from paper 1 and Q1, 4, 5, 7, 8 from paper 2
6) Paper 1 was disaster. Had thought of attempting 150 from Indian but did 100 only as was not knowing sufficient points for Abhava (Clearly lack of writing). While writing answers, realsied my shallow knowledge. Took huge amount of time to think in western and fell short of time in Indian. + wrote 15 marks wrong and neutral monism wrong. So attempt was of 220 only. + missed key points like Kant on causation in Hume Q, Aristotle substance defination in that Q. Mainly realised lack of writing practice. I think my score will be pathetic in paper 1 + may be GS2 and Essay. Let's see.
I feel writing a lot for paper 1 with minute reading of printed material + writing and brainstroming to link with contemporary things for paper 2 is needed
Don't worry folks..Let the marks come..This happens Everytime..Ppl start cursing their optionals but then in reality ethics/essay/ gs2 plays the spoiler..
