Overall Strategy, Study Schedule & Challenges Faced

No schedule. I focused on comprehensive approach. Since, I have curated all the notes of ESI and FM and CA, in the capacity of Content Head and Category Head, I was aware of most of the concept and CA. So, working for PM helped me to prepare well. Before final Mains exam, I have shortlist around 180 articles from various resources (mentioned above), and revised them line by line around 4 times.

I failed mainly in preliminary stage because of poor performance in Quantitative Aptitude. I overcome it by attempting only selected question to clear cut off.

How did PracticeMock help you?

Yes. I only preferred PM Mock test for practice and relied solely on PM RBI Course for ESI, FM and CA preparation.

Message for the Fellow Aspirants

Prepare Well. Study Selectively. Follow comprehensive and integrated approach for Prelim and Mains. GA should be studied from standard sources, not from substandard sources like weekly or monthly bullets. Avoid them. Strictly! Revision is more important than giving Mock Test. Focus on Revision. Do Well. ATB!
