@vvvikas0078212My writing style is so simple, this was one of the reason pointed out for my less marks in gs2. I tried to artificially include articles and cases in 2017 but it didnt actually pay off. Further, i relied on vision 365 without reading static stopics in syllabus which was a fault. This yr i tried to correct it, should see how it worked out.

@ManchesterUnitedthis is my third attempt and third mains.
Missed mains cutoff by a good 60 marks in first attempt (2017)
Cleared mains with less than 5 marks last time.
Problem is I was never good at anything..(my first attempt I sucked equally in all papers ..20-25 short in each paper)
second attempt..I worked on all papers equally and reduced that margin to 10-15 marks.

This time there is shortage of time... And papers are tricky ..so don't know how it went and what to expect. Gut feeling (right after exam ) is bit gloomy. My second attempt is my best and most prepared attempt. But couldn't convert it into marks.

I personally feel one should be exceptional in atleast 2-3 papers..to be in top ranks. Like people should score 140s in essay or 120 odd in ethics or 310 in optional. I need to still crack that magic formula?.

@Caesar
So you are saying that problem begins only when drugs are started being over used. It is okay to use drugs for recreational purpose if used under control??

@Ithriveoncocainena bhai, not at all. What I was saying is that after a certain point there is no return, and all looks good in start but that point does come(or you need a lot of willpower to get out of it)
