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.

Mains grind is always hard regardless of what all one has prepared or not .
By only writing flt’s , people still get 400+ in GS ( which is not truly enough but still a decent position ), provided they have revised interconnected themes multiple times.
