Yes and no. Yes, you're behind schedule and need immediate action. No, panicking won't help—strategic action will. Here's what to do: (1) List all high-weightage topics, (2) Identify 6-7 you can realistically master in 60 days, (3) Spend 70% time mastering those, 30% on basic coverage of everything else, (4) Accept you'll have gaps—that's okay. Even 90 percentilers have weak areas they skip in the exam.

Three criteria: (1) Current accuracy: Topics where you're already at 70-80% accuracy—these can reach 90-95% with focused work, (2) CAT weightage: Topics that consistently appear in CAT with 5+ questions, (3) Your interest: Topics you naturally enjoy studying—you'll put in better effort here. Intersection of these three criteria gives you your priority topics. Typically, you need 4-5 topics in QA, 2-3 set types in DILR, and RC mastery in VARC.

This is tricky but solvable. If you're strong in low-weightage topics (say, P&C or Coordinate Geometry), still include them in your 70% time but allocate less within that bucket. Then, identify at least 2-3 high-weightage topics where you're at "moderate" level (50-60% accuracy) and push them into "good" territory (70-75%). The idea: leverage your strengths fully but don't ignore high-weightage areas completely. Balance matters.

Absolutely not. RC practice is non-negotiable and non-substitutable. Even on your most intensive QA study days, carve out 20-25 minutes for 2 RC passages minimum. Think of RC like going to the gym—you don't skip leg day just because you're focusing on upper body. Your reading muscle needs daily exercise, period. No exceptions, no negotiations.

Your plan is probably too ambitious. Most students create plans that would be challenging even for full-time aspirants. Try this: (1) Cut your daily targets by 30%. Seriously. If you planned 6 hours daily, make it 4 hours. (2) Build in buffer days—plan for 5 study days per week, keep 2 as catch-up days. (3) Track daily completion, not perfection. Did you complete 70% of today's targets? Good enough. Build momentum through small consistent wins, not heroic failures.

No. Unless you genuinely have ZERO study material (unlikely), adding more material now is procrastination in disguise. You're looking for the "perfect resource" when what you need is perfect execution of what you already have. Every test series has 15-20 mocks—that's plenty. Every coaching material covers all concepts—use what you have. The problem is never lack of material; it's lack of focused execution.

Quality over quantity. A focused 4-5 hours beats a distracted 8-10 hours every time. If you're working full-time: 3-4 hours daily is realistic. If you're a full-time aspirant: 6-8 hours of genuine, focused study (not time spent with books open while scrolling phone). Include mock tests in this count. Remember: effective study time = focused work time. Sitting at a desk for 10 hours with constant distractions doesn't count.

Trying to cover everything equally. They see their weak areas, panic, and dedicate disproportionate time trying to "fix" them. Result: their strong areas deteriorate, weak areas improve marginally, and they enter the exam with no clear strengths to rely on. The smart approach: make your strengths unshakeable, cover weak areas at a basic level, and walk into the exam knowing exactly which topics you'll dominate and which you'll strategically skip.
