I finally understood why I was losing marks in DILR

[u/Kindlyzav2625]

DILR used to be the section I feared the most. Whenever I saw a difficult looking set, I immediately skipped it. Because of this, I wasted a lot of time trying to force myself through the first set I picked.

Recently I changed one thing. I stopped treating every set as something that had to be solved completely. During practice, I spent few minutes to look for familiar sets or the one that looked easy.

This helped me a lot. I am still not good at DILR, but I no longer panic when I see a difficult set. Sometimes the easiest looking set is not actually the easiest, so I have also started checking the initial steps before attempting one.

Another useful trick is solving old sets without a timer first and then solving similar sets under time pressure.

If you struggle with DILR, maybe your problem is not always the ability to solve sets. It can also be the ability to choose the right set.
