I wish to know from seniors who have written mains about to what extent Vision CA are enough? Does one needs to supplement it. And how different are their monthly booklets from 365 booklets? Do we miss anything if we do not do the monthly booklets. Are they avoidable?
And a comprehensive review on various Current Affairs classes available these days - ForumIAS Vision 365 Classes Chokkalingam Vajiram Luckmann

+1, I have been reading vision CA and somehow I feel that it's more oriented towards mains exam than for prelims , so if any one could please tell me whether reading it is sufficient for pre , and what else I can do to strengthen my current affair part, i'll be highly thankful.

For internalizing current affairs one needs to discuss issues with people on a regular basis. Simply reading doesn't help much

thanks, but I don't know anyone whho would be willing to indulge in such an exercise
What i follow is insight and vision ias both...like I make notes on evernote so i make notes of insight daily and in the end when visionias magazine releases i scan the articles/news which not cover in insights by scanning their pdf.. thereafter i cover only those news that too by googling news not reading through visionias.

thanks, I am also thinking to switch to insights daily from December onwards
just fucking read the newspaper. Supplement it with any 1 CA magazine to consolidate and revise at the end of each month. Telling from my experience as to why one should not run towards CA classes or multiple magazines or yojana/kurukshetra gist or editorials gist or several other compilations from multiple sites/institutes because
a) reading newspaper and various articles will help in essay writing
b) will help in development of analytical skills. Compilations will have ready made analysis and you will be limited by their viewpoint whereas by reading an original editorial or oped, you will devote some time on thinking and analysing which in turn will result in internalising because that is your own thought and analysis about a topic. And in mains, you will reproduce only what you have internalised
c) newspapers are fun, compilations/magazines are boring to read
Pre ke liye, I guess static regular books, PT365 and test series are more than enough. I was on borderline in Pre so not an ideal person to give suggestions on that front

I second that. Everyone thinks listening Hindu edi analysis means they done with The Hindu. It doesnot go like this,CA has a majority weightage of say 350 marks approx out of 1000. You must be cautious while preparing for it,READING newspaper has no substitute,trust me. I have been the victim of this shortcut,which I considered smart work. You have to read The Hindu,make notes of it and supplement it with any magazine. No need of any other source.
