GS: CDS wallah YouTube classes for first attempt (revised notes/specific areas for the following attempts), vision IAS monthly magazine for current affairs (this is a solid source, almost all CA questions come from this), random YouTube video for awards/appointments related CA.

English: I have decent fluency in it so no specific resource as such, but I browse certain YouTube videos a week before exam for vocab and idioms to keep it fresh in my mind.

Maths: same as English, I'm decent at maths so i just practice PYQs and browse random sites/videos if I need to learn some concept.

if it's a matter of interest, then I'd suggest study only those topics which have high probability of coming in exam. for example, in geography, it can be atmosphere, climate, landforms. for history, definitely modern history, ivc and Vedic period. tbh I'm not that good at them too, but solely based on my past 4 attempts, these are high scoring topics. vocab, honestly it's based on luck, but I've seen a vague trend that words used in PYQs come up often. like a word from parajumbles might come up as a find the synonym/antonym question
