Now this month of March 2012 is a cruel one. It is playing tricks on my mind and I am often caught in a chaotic haze of rather diabolical choices-for instance go back to crossing the Rubicon or staying put in this job and working it slowly and steadily-the problem with the latter option is I do not know If I'll ever have the time...what if during the course I find a better job, naturally I will leave to join that but then I would not have the kind of time I do here.
On the other hand if i decide this year then I am not sure if it would be a wasted shot? I mean I may have the time but relying solely on previous years knowledge gathered with out any brush ups not sure.
The again I wonder how much time is actually needed...I mean there is only so much that you can study. But I could prepare my Psychology and Sociology notes chapter wise.
Plus I feel that perhaps this year I should just let things lie-my boyfriend is giving it, and it should only be him and not the both of us.
By the way I think much of my confusion has to do with my day to day interaction-I always meet people who always say diametrically opposed things- yesterday happened to be one such day when I met GURU-he had his interview yesterday and it went off well as far as I can see...he did not remember Oedipal Complex nor Penis Envy-when he narrated the tale of his interview I wished there was a way to directly step into the interview...but I must be mature and I understand its always cumulative...so his hard work and efforts have paid off...hopefully.
He told me of a guy who studied for 2 months before the prelims and managed to get a rank. the rider was he was from IIT and I am from DU-a pure humanities student with a tasteful aversion to numbers and anything that claims to be a quantitative test of aptitude...
I think post this post I will stick to my original decision of aiming for it in 2013.
I am just caught because it feels so near and yet its starngely elusive.
But I do have a plan on how to ensure that the next time round I must clear the Prelims-I need to sit down with previous year question papers in a simulated environment and attempt atleast 6 previous year papers and do an objective analysis of my weak areas and strong areas. Once I have this, the next step is to go about strengthening the weak areas and practicing the strong ones as well.
Finally for the prelims of 2013-out of a 100 attempting 75 with a buffer of 10 guess based questions for Paper 1 and out 80 questions 75 minimum for CSAT with maximum scope of 1-2 guesses must be worked towards.
So as of now I work towards preparing my notes for the optionals and practicing Quants.
The key is :::....stay tuned!
