I know I am not alone and a lot of people are feeling the same, some might be ahead of me in the race and some behind. Everyone has a different arc.

So coming to the point, the realisation has finally hit that I might not be able to reach my targets before NEET, I thought I’d go in w 2 cycles of revision excluding my first read but the reality is I will get done w my 1st revision around 10-12th of August that too if things go right, in my first read I had a few subjects incomplete but the problem is all of them are juggernauts like surgery, OBG(which I have mostly completed will take another week to solidify these along w solving 800 PYQs from these combined) other than these 2 subjects I have anat, ENT, optha and a few units like renal, GI, integrated patho and Physio left( I wouldn’t say untouched but I still have a lot of work to do w these) after these Ineed to revise Peds PSM and micro since I am forgetting them.

Also I barely managed to cross the 100 mark in marrow GT 16 which I gave about a week ago, I solve 100 q custom module daily mixed bag of 19 subjects from marrow w multiple tags and I end up getting an avg of 55%, I am planning to watch mega BTR from 23 Aug but I don’t know what to do in that 7-8 days I get in between after complete my 1st revision, I definitely won’t get time for another cycle,all I can do is to solve my bookmarked MCQs and attempt 2-3 GTs during that period.

All of this might seem good to some and some would say it is not enough but I genuinely don’t know that whatever I am doing is right or not? Or can I do more, I believe in Jo hoga dekha jaaega but uncertainty is affecting me somewhere, go ahead guys, I need something even if it’s validation or criticism!
