Why don't you follow a schedule? We have our schedule going on in GO classroom and OS, COA, Compilers and Calculus are left for the month of November. Once you have a schedule, it'll be easy to have focus. Then it is good to give full length exam even if you havent completed all subjects -- because the final GATE exam will be full length. In GO classroom we just had a full length exam - Mock Test 4 given by Bikram Ballav -- and it showed the aspirants where they stand as of now. After the subjects get over in GO classroom by this month end we will have more tests and discussions -- one wont have any time to even loose focus.

$80\%$ on own without seeing the solution.

@Divyanshum29 80-20 rule is very important.

Now how to efficiently make use of GO pdf is like if you take suppose DFA section of GO pdf, there are total 65 questions. In excel sheet write down 1-65 (wont consume much time :) ) and then solve all 65 questions without looking at the solutions. Solve questions in iterations. With this method you will not get stuck on difficult questions and moreover you will not mess up on easy questions because of those tough problems. It gives confidence.

This way try maintaining 100% accuracy in easy and procedural problems and then give sufficient time for tough ones and then check where you went wrong.

If you don't have any idea about the problem, look at the solution (partially) and again try to solve it. At last you don't have option :) .

Set daily target how many questions you have to do and solve them like exam. This approach will help you in tests as well.

All the best.
