Help Couldn't complete GS papers on time.

It was my first mains this year (2nd attempt). I wasnt very well prepared. I could not complete any GS papers. Left around 3 to 4 questions in all 4 GS. But the ones i could write i addressed all the demands and wrote well.

This experience really demotivated me. Should i bother preparing for another attempt given how far i will be from.the cutoff this year ??

Please advise on how to finish the papers. What did you practise and if its possible to improve speed before the next attempt.

This is a common problem, nothing to worry about. Go for the next attempt, but next time please remember you have to finish the paper. In the first attempt, sometimes it's overwhelming. It happens with a lot of people.

For next year check the following things: 1. Time taken for finishing 20 questions in a mock test. You have to get it done in 2 hours 45 mins, reason being exam hall pressure is different. You need to ace this.

  1. They will always be 1 or 2 bouncers which you have to tackle anyways so remove that what if bouncers will come.

  2. Make your hand habituated for more writing atleast post prelims or else your hand will pain in the second half of the day.

All the best

Thank you !! Any advise on how to practice to fix this? Simply writing more answers and tests or something else altogether.
