She covered every topic instead of skipping the ones people warn about. "People often say skip Science and Tech or skip Environment. I made sure I covered every single topic." By her account, she did not lean heavily on full-length tests for prelims.
Her essay score rose to 121 in her last attempt. Her view on writing is simple: "If you possess content, writing becomes easy. Difficulty arises only when content is missing." She also read toppers' answer sheets to see how they structured an answer.
"My interview went quite well. Most questions were history-related and from International Relations."
