Putting a representation with UPSC, CAT and sending emails to a bunch of official IDs so that we can get reserve list started for IFoS.

If you know anyone who missed IFoS final list marginally, kindly ask them to connect. The more the representations, the higher the chance that justice prevails.

Please circulate this in your circle and with people who might help/who missed the list closely!

Module Update:

I have resumed working on the Sherlocking Mains Module.

In my assessment, we should start releasing the videos in a couple of week’s time. So just finish the already uploaded videos for now and start executing those principles.

These are the details for the existing modules:

Great meeting guys! Send the minutes to @helpdeskupsc if you documented! Wishes!

MINDSET SESSION MAINS23:

-Anxiety=Fear of uncertainty, if you reduce uncertainty, anxiety goes away.

-Hype around this exam creates this fear. Why hype? Vested interests: People clearing, foundation courses, भेड़। Simple school like subjective exam otherwise.

-Vertical Evaluation, as copy evaluation draining, boring plus time constraint. So structure over anything else i.e. it should look relevant in the first go.

-Amor Fati: Accept thy fate, can't fight against luck so might as well not fight it. Multiple evaluaters, copy evaluated before yours etc.(20 mark diff per paper potentially)

-Exam attempt: Classify based on comfort in 7 mins prior to 9/2! Don't attempt first 3 Qn in the last moments.

-Be aware of your rights, don't let a novice invigilator give you a handicap.

-Marks range is wide, not 3-5, it is 0-8(for a 10 marker) so perform well in easy questions: Highest 158 in GS3,2017 and 162 in GS4,2019!

-Stay clear of just world fallacy. You're enough no matter what the outcome.

-Every single minute matters, have a bottle near you, avoid getting up from your seat for those 3 hours.

-Simulate best and worst case: People who cleared still haven't anyway achieved nibbana(Royal Entry, Insta validation seeking, further life challenges) and Yours truly after exhausting all attempts hasn't felt the fulfillment he feels rn despite not clearing. This exam is neither the end nor a new beginning. It's just an EXAM!

-Label physiological response(Butterfly in stomach, shivering) as Excitement rather than Fear. Labelling helps you stay in control.

-Write your fears on a paper and invalidate them with logic one at a time.

-Stay away from people discussing papers. Nobody knows exactly what you'll score. Believe that uncertainty will play to your advantage and not against it.

-Don't judge your performance on the go. AIR4, 2015 thought GS2 went worst, while they scored the highest. BELIEVE!

-Be ready for surprises. You don't have to outrun the bear, just the competition.

-Doubt handling!

Best wishes for Mains 23 Guys. Feel free to ask any followups. You'll do great.
