In total 3 months (remember it was my third attempt so I hadn't prepared from the scratch).

Did you do some kind of job along with your preparation ?

I did my job (i.e. teaching) while written (8 hours full time job).

What was your daily routine ?

I used to study in the evening (in fact at night, after Isha). Used to study for 4-5 hours daily.

How you prepared essay ?

I prepared Essay from my MA books and notes on Essay Writing.

How you prepared optionals and compulsory ? I mean did you prepare it side by side or first optionals then compulsory .

For all the compulsory subjects and some optional subjects I had books. I had prepared a complete timetable distributing time for compulsory and optional subjects. I extensively consulted online resources as well.
