The entire game of Sherlocking is to make a targeted effort to clear the exam, and not become a ब्रह्मज्ञानी aka ‘A know it all’!

We have small standalone modules and then discounted bundles.

We offer everyone an opportunity to upgrade their courses in 15days because that has been a consistent track record so far, someone who enrolls in one course certainly enrolls in rest.

That’s the biggest testament of the quality of our deliverables.

If you were a Diplomat!

A lot of people ask me, with 4 months remaining, what do we do from hereron?

Here's my take from 5+yrs of experience and observation.

Assertion and Constraints:

-There's no Mains without Prelims. So studying for Prelims should certainly be a priority.

-Prelims has ALWAYS been uncertain (barring the CSAT era for Engineers). It's more so because of the funnel shaped nature of this exam i.e. for 1000 seats, only 13-15k will clear, even though each year there's a pool of around 75k 'Deserving Candidates'. So no matter what, a level of randomness and arbitrariness will always set in. This should not scare you, rather liberate you of anxiety. If anyway there's no guarantee, you might as well play a free liberal game.

-The path to one's desired service goes through a good, nay I say, an amazing score in Mains. That will in theory pivot around a good score in optionals(atleast 275+) and a half decent score in GS+Mains(Atleast 550+ in the current markimg scenario).

-A lot of merchants of chaos will clear Prelims brutally riding on their 'luck', but nobody has ever cleared Mains without a base of targeted study, answer writing, and a lot of hard work in the backend. And it's next to impossible to prep Mains bw Pre and the exam.


Suggestion:

-If it's your first attempt, and you've not studied for Mains until now, it'll be an uphill battle from hereon. You can do one of two things. Either give 24 for net practice and target 25 full fledged. Or prioritise Prelims 24 from now, while gaining command atleast over your optionals, put in insane amount of hardwork and hope for a lot of luck.

-If you've taken care of your optionals until now(which I hope you've) and you've never cleared Prelims until now, start with Prelims now on a half day basis for the next 40days and try to cover as much Mains as you can in the remaining half of the day. Then post Mid/End Feb, transition to Pre on mission mode.

-If you've cleared Pre in the past, you know that it's all about PYQ analysis and confidence after a certain amount of basic study. So optimise your attempt by prioritising Mains until Mid Feb, transition to Pre by Mid March meanwhile and play the game to win.

How will the Study Look Like: No prizes for guessing, PYQ oriented while gaining command over basics. Mocks are a scam in Pre, but in Mains they're a necessity.

I've already done an elaborate discussion on the implementation of all these steps on my channel. Goto the video and playlist section to explore and get back to me with doubts if any!

PYQ Analysis, if you've seen, is the holy grail to optimising( because unlike a consumer durable, this exam doesn't come with a guarantee card) your chance in this exam without wasting the years of your youth.

Let that be your pole star!

If you like the Sherlocking Analysis we do in the group or on YT channel, know that it’s just 5-10% of the Real IP!

For Prelims, we’ve done over 1750+ PYQs from GS and CSAT in a way never done before. No free video can ever match that quality of analysis, the demo and testimonials are a proof of that.

Similarly for Mains, integrating the Art of Answer Writing with 2013-23 PYQ analysis is a first of its kind initiative.
