Sudhanshu sir will be with you on Habitat at 8:30 pm for the discussion. Till then read about the golden hours and how to utilize them.

---

Attempting a test is not a one-off activity. By attempting a test you have opened a loop which you have to close subsequently. Else, it’s of no use and your 2 hours’ worth of effort will go in vain.

The first eight hours after any test are ‘golden hours’. 

All the questions and the options that were bothering you are still fresh in your mind, some might still be bothering you after the test. It is essential for you to use these hours for paper analysis and dissection. Whatever insights, learnings, and correction that you are going to make within this golden hour, is going to stay with you for a really long time.

I am sure most of you can relate to this and have experienced it when you get a particular question wrong in a test and after realizing how silly of you was to get it wrong, your brain makes a promise to you – “Never ever am I going to repeat such a mistake or get this (or such kind of) question wrong…” and like that.

So, to utilise these golden hours I have a request for those who have attempted and submitted the test, please do this:

1. Check your registered email’s inbox and find the questions paper + solution.
2. Sit with the paper for at least 2 hours.
3. Go through all the questions (correct as well), analyze all the options. Refer to the books and notes if required
4. Recollect and if possible note down why you marked some question in a particular way (right and wrong or why you left a particular question)
5. Make a summary of the insights about the question paper. (Share the list on Habitat group with us (click for link))

Complete the motion, close the loop of the test process now.

Sudhanshu sir will join us at 8:30 pm for the assessment of this paper and the situation.

Those yet to attempt the test do it now. Instructions and links are given below.

Where to register and attempt the test?

1. Register and attempt the Decimate Prelims open tests here
2. You’ll receive links in your email inbox.
3. The first test will go live at 10 am on 17th Jan 2021 (on the same link as given in point 1).
