Plus, a long write up, repeating the basics.

Also i was confused.it was a wave right. Being from mechanical we have always studies waves only when the ends are bounded i.e ends must be at zero. U(x,0) = x implies u(L,0) = L. I didnt get that. Maybe its basics that i missed as i had fucked in the first paper.
Also two students from maths optional didmt show up in paper 2. The invilagator was really puzzled
anshuman6098413,
@tedmosby , how much correct attempt do you have paperwise ?
Agree with you, in P1 most questions were either lengthy or calculation error prone.
P2 , Modern Algebra was the bottleneck otherwise non compulsory selection was tough. ( Q4 - oscillation not a known term, Q7 - Mechanics tough one, wave Q non rigid boundary, Q8- Navier )
Overall , selection was key in both papers. Which ones did you pick ?
I picked 3,4,6 in P1 and 2,3,6 in P2

@achchedin total attempt - 440 (Correct attempt- Paper-I: ~180; Paper-II: 160 acc to keys of IMS and Mathocrat).Again, I am not considering partial attempts here. I made diagrams and wrote some initial equations for which I am counting them as 0.Also kuch jagah toh aissi *facepalm* silly mistakes karri hai.Question choice: P1: 3,4,8; P2: 2,3,7
Pretty decent attempt. What could be scaling factor this time? For average difficulty it's generally 0.75 combined.
How was the GS2 paper this time i found it little hard from last year.
Most difficult than all other GS papers.
But my answers seemed better than last year's GS2. But my prep was also a bit heavy this time. So maybe that might've been a factor.
But yeah. As compared to other GS papers, this one was most offbeat.

If anyone has maths and is thinking of changing this is the best time. Once December is gone, we are done!
Saying things like go as per your passion, every paper is scoring , all papers are equal is for YouTube talks.
There are more than 20 folks I know who did well changing large optionals.

Dost, luckily it was achcha din. Attempted 480 ( Getting 220+ correct in each paper )
But again would say , P1 was lengthier, error prone and In P2 modern algebra was bottleneck.
For me, It was case of "Doodh ka Jala chach bhi phonk phonk kr pita hai ". Got 227 in maths last year due to time mismanagement in last month before mains and panicked after P1. But this year did rigorous practice , gave around 50+ tests. Used calculator extensively to ensure high accuracy.
Overall, I felt question selection was key this year, some question would take 40+ mins to ensure correct attempt like Q2 in P1 but some can be done in 25 mins if comfortable with concepts like Q4 in P1.
In both papers , had 25 mins for last non compulsory tough question but luckily picked right one and didn't panic like last year.

What about those thinking to change career ;p
