About last days strategy

Hey guys,

Context :- So I’ve revised static almost 2 times and I would be doing a 3rd revision if time allows; I’ve done current affairs but not in such a manner that I would feel confident and it still feels scattered but I would also be doing a revision of those current affairs which I’ve done.

Doubt :- So the thing is I’m getting around 60s in mocks and I’ve solved PYQs and I realised that many questions are still difficult to me even after my static is done and dusted and I fear that, even in prelims 2026 that would be the case. And I’ve realised that my educated guesses are not good whatever people call them elimination or whatever so even after studying & revising static and analysing PYQs I would be failing this exam?

Is there a way out? I mean how do people do it? What should I do in these last 10 days believing that there is something to be done and I might clear prelims?

And would I be a fool in thinking that I can clear prelims 2026? I know the last part is a bit personal but I wanted this to be honest so sorry for that guys.

Stress due to mocks.

So I’ve attempted 3 FLTs and 7-8 sectional tests and I’m getting on an average 60s consistently and now I’m thinking to shift to revise and PYQs solving & analysis (because I’ve read some post and they suggest that and I also feel that it would be the right thing to do now as I’m losing 15-20 marks in static).

But the question for what I want an answer for is that when toppers say they’ve attempted 30 mocks and all that; like am I behind in that part? Would it be okay to drop mocks now and revise and do PYQs? Or this low attempt of mocks will be the reason for me not clearing prelims?
