The simulator Test X has Cut-off Marks 106.67
Now it is confirmed. There is absolutely no method of deciding cut-off. Isn't it? Sim 2 had the easiest paper and how much was the cut-off? How can an exam that has 130 as the highest score will have 106.67 as cut-off?

Wondering if it's only me or if there are others who feel answers to Q67 and 74 require a relook from FIAS faculty. Q67 doesn't matter much but Q74 is a probable one for this year's Prelims. Sharing my obs here:
In Q74, I am of the opinion that Large hydro does not constitute Renewable Energy as the answer seems to suggest. In fact, in one of the UPSC Prelims papers' from '18/'19 it was implicitly asked if large hydro does actually constitute renewable energy or not. This was a question around our INDCs. &UPSC did not consider it Renewable as far as I remember. Even this year's Economic survey includes two graphs and a table that explicitly mentions large hydro as a separate component in our energy mix. It forms a part of non-fossil energy sources, agreed, but not renewable as far as I understand. Would appreciate it if somebody can clarify this. Seems to be relevant for this year's pre.
In 67, I feel the answer should be D. While it's true that yeast is added to let the dough rise, it shouldn't discard the use of bacteria. In fact, bacteria are actually used in the preparation of a lot of specialty bread preparations, just like cheese. Can also be fact-checked with a quick google search. Also as a side logic, one may see the use of bacteria to aid gut digestion.
Thanks.

For Q74, there was a change in policy in 2019 (https://pib.gov.in/PressReleaseIframePage.aspx?PRID=1567817)
Large Hydro is now considered as part of the Renewable Energy sector.
I don't know if this policy has been reversed. But I haven't come across anything indicating that.
For Q67, I agree with you. Even I'd marked the same.

Precisely.
There was an uproar that how the govt is changing classification criteria to meet renewable targets. And many editorials.

Does Nuclear energy comes under Renewable energy ??
[https://pib.gov.in/PressReleaseIframePage.aspx?PRID=1785808#:~:text=The%20country's%20installed%20Renewable%20Energy,capacity%20stands%20at%206.78%20GW.] (this mentions it separately, I am confused)
It is not.
1. Uranium is not unlimited in nature.
2. Even policywise, it's difficult to categorise it in RE because Nuclear Energy does not enjoy the investment community's support. Also, international collaboration is limited. So, fund mobilisation, which is why RE status is accorded, would still be difficult.
i attempted the test offline. Came back and marked my responses on the portal to check score.
my offline rank on the portal almost 1/3rd the rank shown in the pdf above.
The only reason we join a test series for prelims is to gauge our standing with respect to other aspirants.
if that system is flawed then the whole point of writing the test is lost.
that said, i have faith in forum to address it before the next simulator this Sunday.
Are you able to mark on portal even if you have written the test offline ?
What do you see now ? The choices you have marked in portal or choices you have marked offline ?
The system was designed so as to overwrite offline score card over any online attempt.
yes sir, atleast for this test we were able to mark it after the offline test as well.
i marked the same responses on the portal as i marked offline so i dont know the difference sir.
the reason i came back and marked my responses online was to get the score and answer key.
Okay.
1. Your rank in the PDF is a better reflection of where you currently stand.
2. There is a massive effort that most people will put in last two months, so it's a volatile position. Try to maintain your rank irrespective of papers.
3. Make sure you a diary of mistakes where you note down concepts that you got wrong. Study them, and also read aboutbthem on wikipedia first paragraph.
4. Everyday do try to devote 60-90 minutes on the internet researching keywords and concepts. Especially with SnT , Enviornment and subjects where no "Bible" exists.

@farejul If we take offline simulator tests and miss the test, Can we give the exam online later? This is because forum simulator test date and timings are clashing with other test series (abhyaas tests of vision).
please allow 2 slots for offline tests if possible on sundays.
most of us are writing other tests also on sundays so it would be really helpful if it is allowed to write tests from 2:30-4:30 as well.
@farejul @forumiasacademy can you please explain the methodology behind the cut off calculations?
