@STBhai in paper 1 I attempted around 160-170 very well but in the last minutes I panicked and compromised quality....paper 2 was ok-ok but more weird questions than paper 1

@destinirules2354i used the same examples....
2016 - i have not prepared anything except quotes and examples and i got 158
2017 - first essay was gud but it took almost 2 hours so divert from 2nd essay and got 129...
2019 - wrote both essays with multiple dimensions and sticked to basics...hoping for 2016 type miracle....

@Behemothin 2017 i got 267 in socio...paper 1 - 147 (i have answered some questions very well...rest average...but there is one thing in almost all the questions content is there but structure was not upto the mark and according to my analysis giving dimensions is more important in sociology to fetch better marks...baaki iss baar paper 1 mein 180 marks ka badiya hua hai but rest mein bhagna pda due to paucity of time...paper 2 to har saal hi ajeeb lagta hai mujhe...iss baar thoda examples diye hai...baaki dekho kya hota hai..jai bajrang bali

Since result is around the corner i am sharing@dr-ahmednaaz8567earlier comment on this thread..
Just remember this famous quite that most of u are already aware of:
it's not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Roosevelt.
...
We must be thankful to almighty for giving us an opportunity to fight in the arena...jai bajrang bali and all the best to my dear warriors......
