🏋️ SESSIONS 04–08 — Full Prelims Simulations

These sessions use the full mocks in ../../PRELIMS/8-Full-Prelims-Mocks/. Treat each as a real exam day.

SESSION 04 — Full Prelims (Mocks 1 & 2)

Morning 9:30–11:30: GS Paper I (Mock-01). Afternoon 2:30–4:30: CSAT (Mock-01).
Next day repeat with Mock-02.
Environment: OMR sheet, phone off, negative marking applied.
After: 3-hour analysis per paper; tag every question; error notebook.
Rubric: GS score = Correct×2 − Wrong×0.66; target 85+ at this stage.

SESSION 05 — CSAT Full Simulation

2:30–4:30: CSAT paper (use Mock-02 CSAT or Mock-03 CSAT).
Focus: comprehension + reasoning first, then DI, then maths.
Target: clear 66.67/200 comfortably (aim 100+). Decision-making questions: attempt all (no negative).
If below 90, add 1 hour of daily CSAT until stable above 100.

SESSION 06 — Full Prelims (Mocks 3 & 4)

Same protocol as Session 04. Target GS: 95+.
Compare error patterns with Session 04 — are the same subjects/traps recurring?

SESSION 07 — Full Prelims (Mocks 5 & 6)

Same protocol. Target GS: 105+.
Now analyze time management: are you finishing with 10 minutes to review?

SESSION 08 — GRAND TEST (Mocks 7 & 8)

Back-to-back full simulation over two days; treat as the real thing.
Target GS: 115+. If you hit it consistently, you are Prelims-ready.
Final 15 days after this = pure revision of error notebook + NOTES/. No new material.
