The mains is where this exam is actually decided – and it demands a completely different kind of preparation. It's not about what you know. It's about how well you can think through a question, structure your response, and present your understanding in a way that the examiner finds compelling. Clearing mains can be broken down into 3 essential skills: 1. Demand deconstruction: how to break the question, how to address subparts of the question, adding one dimension extra and also addressing the implicit demand 2. Content and value addition: Adding current affairs in the intro and proper value addition can help get those 1/2 marks that will accumulate over 20 questions to give you a decisive advantage. 3. Speed and paper completion : above 2 are useless - if you can't complete your paper. Dynamic paper management is essential - solving first 5 questions in an excellent fashion, choosing candidate questions to butcher in case time goes up, filling up space with diagrams to give impression of completion to the examiner – this third pillar involves lot of such minute enhancements. Around these 3 pillars, we are building the Mains Playground. In my 3 attempts, I was able to clear mains 2/2 times with 400+ in GS both times. One of our volunteer moderators has scored 820+ in mains, scoring 130s in essay 2 times. Apart from our own experience, we're also sitting down with candidates who have cleared Mains with some of the best scores in recent attempts. They'll talk about what their preparation looked like, what worked, and what they'd do differently – the kind of insight you rarely get from a textbook. Mains is all about specialised preparation – and we hope Mains Playground can make this arduous journey easier and enjoyable.

This is a mockup of how the CA bulletin will look like. Each current affair in the bulletin is mapped to its syllabus area, linked to past questions that have examined the same theme, and tagged by where it fits in an answer – introduction, data point, example, or conclusion.

We are still looking into some legal issues - but it should be fine mostly
