I have interacted with around 20 mains candidates.. including few on this forum through chat..

Around 80% of them said that they have performed well and are expecting around 270+ in optional and 130+ in essay..


In GS .. Expectation of around 400 is common among candidates this year..


So point I m making is..

Many are expecting 800+ this year.. whether they get or not is altogether a different story..

Expectations are higher this year than previous.. this shows paper was easier this year atleast as per the perception of the candidates..


PS.. I m not exaggerating.. stated what I have observed..


On a lighter note- 

There is a saying in law - " A man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client" 

It may be modified to - "  A man who is his own paper checker has a fool for an aspirant "


One who cannot estimate his/her performance is not an expert either.. it is not wrong to be able to make a rational analysis of performance..


Some people are trying to project as if those guessing their marks are fools and only they are smart.. but actually it's other way around...


hahahaha hank bhai personal le liya tumne but hum nahi lenge. Ye khela kai baar dekh chuke hain cut-off, good answer, bad answer, tough paper easy paper. I say with confidence of an expert that rational analysis in this exam is not possible at all. Baaki haan anxiety hoti hai to hum bhi thoda calculator chala lete hain but deep down pata hai ki it is futile excercise. Lekin to each their own. Khela chalte rahna chahiye.

I believe that we must try to analyze our performance and if possible try to give marks. It may not help in this attempt but is useful in analyzing performance which can help in next attempt. It helps in knowing wat works in real exam and wat not. Once marksheet is out, these calculations will b key in improving marks in next attempt.

If one doest not unserstand how much marks he should give, then as a benchmark one can give maximum 50 percent in any question. Please dont enter into debate of wat is perfect answer as there is no unique answer to this question. If u feel that u hv addressed demand of the question then give urself maximum marks.

even if sonia gandhi resigns, no change will come

they dont have any charismatic leader which is a problem

in bjp, if a big leader resigns, then there is a line of charismatic leaders with huge support behind them

congress needs more than just leadership change

my suggestion is to stop trying ho gaya ab

India’s foremost modern historian and one of the country’s most highly regarded political commentators, Ramachandra Guha, has said “the three Gandhis must immediately retire from politics altogether for the good of their party as well as for the good of the country”.

prshant kishor said that bjp has a 3 layer structure which cant be broken which includes nationalism and hindutva and one more

and in this leadership is simple too strong. 

bjp is a ruthless party in my opinion

@zombieland This is wonderfully put. My estimate went wrong last time by huge number. But, how it helped is that I even now have sheet of how many bad, good, avg answer I wrote in last and now. So, it helps bring somewhat thodi si objectivity. Infact, I thought getting lowest in GS3, I got in that only. And, even in psir, I knew will get less in Paper 2, that also followed.

any party which brings an alternative to this 3 layer strong structure can only challenge bjp now

other congress is doing wrong is blaming on people. they are saying that people are not understanding

khud hi kabar khod lo aur

nai samajh paye toh samjhao kisne roka

is type ke dialogue sirf modiji pe suit karte hain. hum 3 laws ka mahatv samjha nai paye basically log bewkuf hain and get away with it smoothly

@Akkku Hopefully is baar pessimism bias ho jaaye and aapke marks badh jaayein.😅

This optimism bias  has happened with me too .Ab thoda conservative estimate hi rakhta hoon

Just checked the model solutions of 2021 CSM from Forum and Samjhao. I think that by reading the model answers, if your memory says that you have written 60-70% similar to them, it is a very good attempt, similarly if you find 50-60% of your answer in it, it is a good attempt and so on. 


Yourgutfeeling is the key here. How did you feel exactly after leaving the exam hall, and the feeling you have after checking your answers with model answers.
