Prelims 2020 - Preparing Repeatedly Asked Questions

@AureliusM Hey! 
Vision tests are difficult this year. My scores have ranged between 80-120 : see the variation in marks. In a paper where they ask factual questions, scores are bound to fall and the same will happen in actual exam as well. However upsc doesn't always ask too many factual questions. Options can be eliminated with right frame of mind.

If you feel you are being drained due to tests, I'd suggest you don't calculate the score anymore. This is primarily because your self-confidence is very important at this time. Just see what kind of mistakes you are making - too many guesses, solving basic questions wrong, unable to eliminate options in a particular set of questions (for eg I mostly can't think logically with science questions and get negative marks therefore I no more attempt them unless I know it) etc. 

Revision is the most important thing right now. Tests are just to know where you are going wrong and where to improve. Dont allow it to take a toll on you. All the best! :)

@gargakshita2203879 constitution does not bar private members from introducing money bills. In past 1978 I believe, a money bill was introduced by a private member in rajya sabha. Chairman send it to speaker lok sabha who rejected it because it was introduced in rajya sabha (money bills can be introduced in lok sabha only) and not because it was a money bill. Further, no rule as such bars private members from introducing money bills. However, the probability of private member introducing money bill is very less because it requires president's approval.
