How was your paper? How did you approach the paper?
Dono bhadia hai, but none can match Forrest Gump.
It is also subjective imo. Depends which what element you find your connect with. There are many small elements. I loved forrest gump movie but...
Ppl with prior experience of mains, a small query
Writing all questions with average quality answers or Good quality answers for most Qns even at the cost of missing 1/2? Which one of these two approach turned out to better yield?
Good answers in 19 questions will be better but very difficult to achieve.
Everyone who wrote mains this time I would really like to know what worked for you guys this time in prelims?
Considering the kind of unexpected paper that it was this time, still people were able to get such good marks in prelims and able to clear it, I would really like to know what worked for you and what was your 'strategy' ?

Bro always keep ur statics v.v strong. Make sure high correction rate in those cases. If u can get maximum correct out of such 30-35 questions chances will better
@masteroptimist @zombieland Thanks

Wo parody h 😂😂😂. Yes entertaining, but looking for 'real' horror right now
The Quiet Place was good. Both parts. Although it’s more thriller than horror.
Even better combo this , Thriller+ horror

If you scored greater than 90 then it's more of a performance problem, not a preparation problem. Have some faith in yourself, revise well practice mocks that's all I did. Everyone has their own strategies and everyone is correct. Just one golden rule is to complete your syllabus and don't leave anything to fate thinking it won't come in the exam as every single mark is important. I remember getting two medieval history questions right by watching a 2 hour-unacademy marathon video when I didn't feel like studying.
You never know what will come in the exam rely on the breadth of your knowledge. No need to read a given subject 10 times, it would be better to read two subjects 5 times as you have to identify the correct option trust your memory we often tend to underestimate it.

You probably missed prelims by v close…I know you had a sound prep. Don’t doubt it. Just keep doing the needful (one ca source and basics) and you’ll be through this time. Sometimes, it’s just a matter of luck and more people should realise that.

100%.
Thoda confidence on your intuition and knowledge + keeping yourself calm in the exam + using past learnings to eliminate 1/2 options is the key, apart from what others said.
