I've always attempted 80 or fewer questions.

2018 - 80

2019 - 81

2020 - 75

2021 - 76

2022 - 78

2023 - 76


Cleared cutoff everytime but 2018. 


I'd suggest one shouldn't decide the no. of attempts beforehand. Rather, they should decide it after seeing the paper. Do the first round and see how many questions they can attempt with reasonable accuracy (80%+).


If you've done 35 or more, you CAN clear with ~80 attempt. If you've attempted 30 or less, you HAVE TO attempt more questions.


Disclaimer: This is not a prescription, just a possibility. Use your discretion as it may not work for everyone. Also, if you're aiming for Forest cutoff, it may not be suitable for you unless you've superhuman accuracy.


Thanks man for your insights. I am particularly cheering for you this year from the peripheries. Won't jinx by speaking too much :P. All the best :) 

@GaryVee You have more than one well wishers here. If you are in Delhi or NCR, do drop by sometime.

Has to do with some good luck!

Out. 3 consecutive prelims failure.

It feels like failure is the new normal. 

But one  good thing happened in this journey that I reached forum at this attempt and I found really good competitive peers. Which will remind me my old school days . When me and my close friends are competing for 1st rank in the class. 

Also in words of

Dipin sir " this exam need back to school mode of preparation " is definitely true. 

I hope i will gain my power of competive instinct again soon. 

Those who are are in guys make this attempt count. 

Best of luck 👍. 


If you are not good with Prelims, please be willing to give it more time. There are a few thousand people who clear Prelims year after year. And don't leave things for Feb March. Finish off things by Dec and Jan and make sure you are writing FLTs from March

How to deal with mid-journey fatigue - physically, mentally, and socially?

The time when one feels like giving up, motivation fades away. Questions like do I really want to do it? 

Seriously I am exhausted, it feels gloomy and dark

You need a time off for 1-2 days. That pretty much resets things. I have seen people decide to quit doing things, whereas all ghat they needed was a small break.

The ASRock H470M-ITX/ac motherboard's compact form factor and impressive feature set make it an intriguing choice for office setups with limited space. It's refreshing to see options that cater to smaller work environments without compromising on functionality. https://justmotherboard.com/best-z370-motherboard/
