The question paper seemed easy but arrangement of option was making it tougher.Specially for person like me i rely on intelligent guessing and vague memory rather than exact factual knowledge
100 attempted,62 correct ,was sure about 50 so tukka ratio was horribly 12 /50 .If this happens in final exam lag jaegi.But upsc options like always will lead to answer rather than options making it tough (.Dil bahalane ke liye ghalib khayal achaa hai .)
Guys I have three upsc prelims quiet comfortably .My abhyas score this year are 92,96,82 for last three test .Forum score 98 .I will not say that I am not afraid .But on deep analysis .Vision tets are no parameters to judge your preparation .Forum test was quiet good comparatively .But to judge your study do more qualitatively analysis.
Like areas of question you got wrong .Like I got all the World affairs question wrong I don't care at this time where is lake heaven ,or why greece and turkey are fighting.
medieval and ancient are wrong ,those are always my weak areas ,so need to revise books of those one or two days before prelims.
Some others mistakes like sco headquater in not in bejieng ,gahrial is critically endangerd are mistakes due to not forcing my brain and doing questions carelessly .For this one or two revisons of things you have studied and you think that you know them is needed in last hours .So that your brain raises a red flag immidiately if you se a factual incorrectness.
Its okay of you do question of areas you dont read incorrect ,like that later mughal question or facts of rajiv ahir if you read history from Bipin chandra .
ITs not okay to get polity question wrong,not okay to get economics basics concept incorrect ,not okay to get that south china sea question incorrect .These areas are important .
I DONT KNOW ,whether I will be able to qualify this year or not .But I will surely not make these scores even get into my head inside the exam hall .I will study like a mad dog for these tem days and inside the exam hall my mind set should be will like pre is just a formality.I mean it tried and tested.
Guys ,Intellectuals are being mocked down because of their own mistakes of past .The liberals and left of this country live in intellectual bubble of their own .They produce knowledge but dont know how to communicate with people in peoples language .Political education (in real sense )in this country is near to zero .People who know how to communicate with masses are ruling this country .like why people joke about WhatsApp university .Why can liberals and left make whatspp colleges of their own .Lot of it is global phenomenon but this sense of moral and intellectual superiority is one of the key reasons .
What a guy phd scholar of jnu said that to me holds correct ,fasciwad fakeer hai kaise bhi ajata hai ,kranti lane walo ke nakhre bht hai khali rote rehte hai fasciwad agya agya.
104 -110 range gs ,61 csat (maths question which i am myslef finding wrong now , so no miracle is gonna happen for me)
Fourth attempt ,wrote mains in 16-18 ,dropeed 19 ,changed optional ,
Used to get 120sh type in csat ,dont know waht happened ,i even counted the odd number wrong ,usually very fast in maths but was very slow that day ,worked very hard these years ,but complacency in csat is a lesson for life which i will never forget .
