Q) Please Share Your Month-Wise Preparation Insights For Upcoming Aspirants.

 My method of preparation isn't useful for any aspirants. But few mistakes that I did - inconsistency in preparation, way too less mocks hence less analysis. One has to prepare all 3 subjects all throughout the period of preparation.

Q) If You Wish, You Can Talk About Any Section In Particular? 

My strategy has been to focus on one subject, finish it, and move to other. This was a mistake. It would have been better for revision but one needs to practice more. And the practice needs to focus on spending an equal amount of time on every subject.

Q) Is There Anything Else That You'd Like To Add? 

 Although I scored less, that has not been the ending of the world. I aced my interviews only because of my work-ex. And of course, the low percentile is the reason for less practice.
