2026 will be my third attempt. I passed out in 2020 and have a corporate job. 2024 – 34, 2025 – 66. CSAT isn't a worry.
I'm doing the Vision IAS test series now, but the scores aren't looking great.

Please turn on the charger switch; it's draining.
How can I get the PDF for this test?
How do you manage studying while working?
Same here, I've forgotten my 'why' as well.
Practice past year questions and trust yourself; I've seen people scoring 30‑40 in mocks still clear prelims with 120+.
If you're scoring just 85 with 72% accuracy, you're attempting far too few questions.
Hey, at least you have a job. It's a trade‑off: quit to study more and risk failing, or keep the job, study less and have a better chance of clearing.
Are you Malayali?
No, that won't happen.
What does 'acc' mean?
