Mains answer writing for geography optional & GS

My prep level: coaching finished in 2025 September both optional &GS. Gave a trial attempt in 2025 & it affected me. Done with 1st reading of modern history, internal security & 60% optional. Writing pyqs & 1 essay per week and 3 essay brainstorming per week. Covering polity now.

I feel so behind!!

How to approach pyqs of mains if you haven't read the topic or its something related to current affairs? Geography optional & GS.

When can someone start timed answer writing & mains tests (sectional & FLT) for 2027?

For 2027. Not a beginner at intermediate level of prep. 50% of every subject touched.

Nothing is working for me for CA. Reading newspaper feels like overwhelming, im not consistent with it because of time at the end of the day and exhaustion. Monthly magazines are bulky. If i read newspaper feeling like waste of time, if i don't read feeling FOMO. WHAT TO DO? tried to do on weekends but im doing backlogs, essay, weak topics revision on weekends.

Suggest me something guyss??

And i feel its showing in my answer writing and essay.
