  • Balance your preparation using a 60:40 time split, prioritizing your optional for the first five months to ensure deep conceptual mastery.
  • Use high-energy morning hours for your optional and afternoons for GS. If your subject overlaps with GS, study those sections together to save time.
  • Aim to complete your first reading and notes three months before Prelims, allowing a total shift toward Prelims-specific General Studies.
