Never compromise on the basic combination of sleep, nutrition, sun in the morning and socialising, come what may. Been sleep deprived since 3 days and now finally seeing the toll. Can't focus and brutal headache. Will be unavailable for the rest of the day. Gentle reminder for all of us to prioritise the basics without fail.

Course Update:

2018-22 GS completed. 2018 Heuristics will be uploaded by tomorrow. Now we'll wrap up CSAT completely before coming back to GS!

We're getting a lot of queries from students asking if it's late to join the course. Imo, the course has been designed to be easily digestible. My intent while creating it was simple. Even if one were to have only 15 days to go through all videos, it would still significantly add onto your chances for clearing Prelims.

Hopefully we'll finish the CSAT now by the weekend!

No doubt session this weekend. Weirdly down with really high fever. Hope it subsides soon and we'll then take a doubt session mid week!

Scheduled Doubt session for Tomorrow (Saturday, 15th April), 3.30PM:

I've realised that anyway I'm making videos from my bed without camera for the course, might as well take a doubt session too so that we maintain continuity. Don't worry, I won't overexert myself. Your wishes have been heartwarming meanwhile!

2. "What is the course about?"

PYQ Analysis like never before. Why? Because our focus is JUST using standard sources in culmination with Logical Reasoning to find the right answer. You'll feel like a true Sherlock after few videos.

3. What are the deliverables, course structure, timeline, validity and cost?
-2011-23 Analysis GS: ~55hrs
-2018-23 Analysis CSAT: ~22hrs
-Plus live doubt sessions

4. "I like the course structure but I don't want to invest 7.5k in one go and then realise that I didn't like the course."

Enroll in any one GS module ( Hist, Geo, Env, S&T, Polity, Econ ) or Heuristics or CSAT modular courses and you'll have the option to upgrade to the comprehensive bundle within a week after a payment of the differential amount. The fact that over 90% students who enrolled in modular courses upgraded to comprehensive GS+Heuristics+CSAT speaks volume about its effectiveness.

5. "I see value in the IP but I can't afford the course."

This would hands down be the best investment in your Prelims prep. Don't take my word for it. You've already seen what the enrolled students have said about the course.

Supplementary Note:

No matter what the echo chambers of YT influencers 'claim', you will never have enough content for the kind of questions that come in Prelims.

कितने घोड़े हाथी के बारे में रटेंगे। यही करते रह जायेंगे जिंदगी भर with No Returns!

Also, unlike a consumer durable, this exam doesn't come with a guarantee card. But to get one the best shot possible, Basic Sources and Sherlocking (fancy way of saying Common Sense) are enough!

Before this slips my attention: Now is the right time to start appearing in FLTs. Simulate atleast 4-5 rounds. Why start now? Because I don't want you to appear in any mocks in the last week. Overdoing mocks towards the end has costed me my 2020, so I have to be as honest as possible. Only do PYQs in the last week. Emphasise on PYQs even now, but get started with the FLT simulation in the coming week.

Course Update:

CSAT 2018-22 Comprehension and LR done. Only Quant remaining.

Usually I keep saying that this exam, unlike a consumer durable, doesn't come with a guarantee card.

But CSAT happens to be that consumer durable which does come with a guarantee card.

After watching the analysis for 2018-22, the chances of missing through CSAT are inexistent.
