There is a PYQ, which says radio waves have very long wavelength, and upsc key marks it incorrect, but radio waves do longest wavelength. Anyone?

@Hopeless wavelength of radio waves lies between few centimetres to thousands of meter....so it includes both short and long wavelength....it might be a reason for considering it an incorrect statement by upsc.....

Official UPSC Civil Services Exam 2011 Prelims 

A layer in the Earth's atmosphere called Ionosphere facilitates radio communication. Why?

1. The presence of ozone cause the reflection of radio waves to Earth.

2. Radio waves have a very long wavelength.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

@DM both will be incorrect because question is why IONOSPHERE facilitates radio communication?
Ionosphere is charged layer which ionizes the atom.....this will be the only reason....
in another way u can say
1st is incorrect as ozone layer present in stratosphere not in Ionosphere
2nd is incorrect bcoz radio wave have both long and short wave.....

I have been scoring in 70s in all FLTs. I know I lack hold on some static portion. Trying to revise more and more in coming days and hope I will be able to sail through Prelims. I somehow feel that now it is about holding nerves, not panicking and doing whatever I can in next few days. 

I would suggest you to revise whatever you have done till now. Solve PYQs again and again. See what are the important topics which are repetitive and focus more on that. 
Don;t think too much about scores, just revise revise revise whatever you have done till now....until you feel like puking !

Puked indeed today......had a muffin at 24 seven which looks to be very clean and hygienic (who knows what's inside)

Guys take care of your health!

Are you guys preparing sports section for prelims? Do you think it should be prioritised just because last year's paper had questions from it?

@Wordsmithyy_nehrubose I did solve 2 flt of vajiram, score was 88.66 and 93.
Don't lose confidence in this phase, keep your hopes high.
Although, I feel rau's flt is on slightly lighter side, it may boost your confidence.

@Hopeless this is a wild assumption.                                                                                                                                     The question is about ionosphere and radio communication. Ionosphere reflects radio waves but not all types. It reflects only short and medium radio waves and allows long wavelength radio waves to pass through. So seeing upsc official answer key, I assume they might have asked about type of radio waves which is reflected by ionosphere and used for radio communication.

Gave Abhyaas CSAT . Was able to attempt 38 in 2 hours with 33 correct. If anyone has given the CSAT UPSC before could one guide me as to how much variance there lies between that and the Abhyaas CSAT

There is a decent amount of variance in CSAT tests conducted by coaching and actual UPSC CSAT paper, so much so that there is also a large amount of variance in the answer keys taken out by coachings and the actual key released by UPSC.


I would suggest you to practise 2-3 UPSC CSAT papers in exam mode and match the answers with the official key . This will be a better way to judge ur performance.

Absolutely correct....I got 115 marks in csat in 2018 and I could not get 66 marks in 2020....so be prepared...👍

 Hello again. So Abhyaas 2 was better (40 out of 44 were correct). But midway i realized that the test was sub standard. I have actually practised UPSC questions already so the test score wont be indicative of the where i stand. Could someone suggest great CSAT tests they gave. My primary focus is on math.
