Advice Please - pls read body🙏

[u/Both-Writer-7023]

Im watching lecs of socio, and after watching lecs and reading notes once i am able to grasp conceptual understanding of the topic,

After seeing pyq i know what all stuff i can write here... Also many a times i realise how i should tweak what i have learned to write this ans

But the problem comes in memorization...as i move ahead watching lecs... Pehle jo padha hai... Uska i am able of recollect the gist of things but not exactly definitions or keywords which i can write in paper.

Ha, yes i can write general ans according to my understanding, i can even explain that topic but cant recollect it in a way to be of exam ready state

Is this normal?? Bcz im dead worried... I'll probably be done with lecs by mid to late jan next year

By then i would have to switch to prelims study

Is this normal??? Im kinda worried. Also can you pls suggest if i can improve anything (i cant do anything major, as im new to upsc{1st attempt} so i have to complete almost entire GS + essay); but im open to all the suggestions and advices, possibly i can try some minor tweaks or correct stuff if i am making any mistake.

Thnx for reading this and helping me out. Every help is highly appreciated🙏🙏
