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.

Test 1 (Indian Constitution & Polity): 88/200 (Acc: 66%)
Test 2 (Working of Indian Constitution): 56.66/200 (Acc: 47%)
Test 3 (Governance): 62/200 (Acc: 50%)
Test 4 (Ancient/Medieval India): 26.33/200 (Acc: 50%)
Test 5 (Modern India I): 28.66/200 (Acc: 65%)
Test 6 (Modern India II): 30.33/200 (Acc: 52%)
Test 7 (Geography): 44.33/200 (Acc: 56%)
Test 8 (Geography II): 32.33/200 (Acc: 53%)
Test 9 (Environment Eco I): 40/200 (Acc: 59%)
Test 10 (Environment Eco II): 53.66/200 (Acc: 66%)
Test 11 (Indian Economy I): 67.33/200 (Acc: 70%)
Test 12 (Indian Economy II): 29/200 (Acc: 50%)
Test 13 (Science & Tech): 85.33/200 (Acc: 72%)
Test 14 (Full Length 1): 46/200 (Acc: 74%)
Test 15 (Full Length 2): 66.66/200 (Acc: 66%)
Test 16 (Full Length 3): 52.33/200 (Acc: 62%)
Test 17 (Full Length 4): 53/200 (Acc: 58%)
Test 18 (Full Length 5): 35.66/200 (Acc: 50%)
Test 19 (Economic Survey & Budget): 74.66/200 (Acc: 77%)
Test 20 (Full Length 6): 41.66/200 (Acc: 58%)
Test 21 (Full Length 7): 60.33/200 (Acc: 71%)

I don't think 2026 is for me.

Please turn on the charger switch; it's draining.

Sahil

How can I get the PDF for this test?

Aryan

How do you manage studying while working?

Shekar

Same here, I've forgotten my 'why' as well.

Shekar

Practice past year questions and trust yourself; I've seen people scoring 30‑40 in mocks still clear prelims with 120+.

Satish

If you're scoring just 85 with 72% accuracy, you're attempting far too few questions.

Mahima

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.
