as i was on a time crunch, i had to make the most of it. i was studying nearly 18 hrs a day, with only food and water breaks. moreover, i studied in isolation. secondly, like i mentioned before, i didnt undertake the task of memorizing each and everything. i divided my time. 2 weeks to every subjects and went over major concepts, formulated a revision pattern according to past papers and made my own notes. this helped me with last minute revision. my page count per question was erratic. in instances where i was bursting with material, i wrote 8 to 10 pages. usually, it was contingent on time. it almost always happened that my first question was really well structured and was around 8 pages and from then on my page strength deteriorated. sometimes my last question was 2 to 3 pages long. i dont think it matters as such. quality over quantity, always. as far as dos and donts, never forget to include analysis and evaluation in your paper. dont concentrate too much on one particular subject, they all deserve your attention and avoid distraction. mostly, i feel, people dont answer or comprehend the question properly. the examiner already knows the facts, better than you do, he is interested in your opinion, analysis and problem solving skills.

love by toni morrison, freedom by jonathan franzen, one hundred years of solitude by Marquez, the goldfinch by donna tartt and im about to read the new book by arundhati roy if anybody is interested in vocabulary building, then it is advisable to go over the SAT hit list. |

And yes 18 hours is understandable with so less time left, one needs to make sure that he studies quality material in those 2 months... |

Hey, Thank you for the share. I'd definitely take some inspiration form your example as, finally, I have just about started to focus on my prep a little more seriously. As I have almost the same combination of subjects as that of yours, I thought I would trouble you for some material and advice. Please share the sources you consulted for Gender Studies (and the notes too, if possible). Also suggest me a few titles for the B paper of Pol Science.
And Well Done and Good Luck for the Interview part!

for gender studies, there is a book by amy wharton, hugely helpful. Also, the Handbook of Gender and Women's Studies was a great help. i would stay away from local guide books, they are terrible. whenever i was stuck, the internet came to my help. believe me, it is the cheapest, most helpful and easy to access resource out there. As for notes, l'll have to dig them up, email me and i'll send them to you
pol sci, i had world constitutions by vishnoo bhagwan, and constitutional history of pakistan by m. raza. mostly i did research on the internet and had access to my university library where i was able to find books on individual constitutions. i only prepared on pakistan, usa, uk, india, china, turkey, iran malaysia |
