Moreover even after reading 8000+ pages of current affairs, chances are that very less will be asked from that. Moreover, how to recall all that your read in those 8000+ pages
There is an irony here, and that is that those who target to cover everything miss everything
Best strategy is to identify high probability topics and read them in depth and leave others. You need to learn to understand how upsc frames questions, what topics they choose, how much depth they desire and so on. And without understanding all this, you will merely be trying to swim across a vast ocean.
Either get yourself mentors, or do it yourself by carefully going through previous 10 year questions that have been asked in UPSC CSE.
We wish you all the very best for your prelims. Don't miss to apply your knowledge and common sense to solve problems. Stay calm and be positive. Manage your time well. Good luck to you.
I believe if you can score 80+, you should be good for mains. An ideal attempt could be 51+ questions. With success rate of 80 percent, the score should be around 85+. As i said, those who would rely on core basics would score better.
Those who went for current affairs will be suffering

This is to inform that we have closed our current affairs section since we want to focus absolutely on our core areas of strength i.e. Indian Economy and Indian Polity. Also, preparing current affairs was consuming a lot of our effort without much return. As such, now onwards, there will be only two sections on our platform. Also, we have restructured our pricing to ensure that more and more students can afford our study material.
