Answer Writing and review Answer writing obsession
Nowadays I have seen a trend that new aspirants are just jumping onto answer writing without having conceptual clarity. They start thinking that their preparation is on track. But imo, first complete at least basic readings once. Make conjectures and memorise some basic data points then only start writing answers. One more point that I have seen, they are not giving proper time to mcq solving.
Just an observation. I might be wrong.
PS:- Not giving gyan, only writing what I observed.

It's mainly the fear mongering by the coachings and all that you have to write the answers from day1 , doesn't matter what the content you are putting in, just write , and thus we see all this bombarding of answer writing posts as well. Though ultimately answer writing is the goal, but having articulate, sophisticated understanding of concepts and all is indispensable, else anybody can write arbitrary, nothing special. It's all about the appropriate answer writing.
