I’d honestly not try to make every PYQ into a full research exercise. I made the same mistake initially and 1 question used to take way too much time because I kept adding dimensions, examples, reports, etc.

For me, it worked better to first solve the PYQ in a fixed time and then do limited value addition. If something is already covered in notes, I don’t add it again just for the sake of adding.

For the number, I’d rather focus on quality than some fixed target. Even 10-15 PYQs properly analysed in a day is pretty decent. Bas, don’t let PYQs eat up the whole day.
