Thank you Sir
Congratulations to all those who got selected. Got very inspired by all of your words. Makes me think apna b hoga ek din.
By all means. Most success stories begin with failures. Its just that when we fail, we don't know at that point that it could be the beginning of a fresh success story.
And frankly, barring a few people, the Top Judges, Journalists and Leaders of the country, are the ones who at some point of time flunked the Civil Services Examination. Civil Services Examination makes you immediately successful. Everything else takes a little time. Thats the only difference.
@Neyawn 11 days are left for prelims and i am having second thought. I don't know but unable to get that confidence. Solved around 30+ FLT mostly score ranged around 70-80-90 in 1 or 2 i scored 105. Gave simulator open test scored 78. Feeling too dejected. This will be my 5th attempt. Have joined awfg this year and wrote answers religiously. Made notes out of every text book that i read. Still I don't know where i am lacking. I am sure there is something wrong from my end. Now i dont know whether to give the attempt. :( ** This is a classic case of high level confusion.

If I were you, I would revise the basic books. Look this year I have asked all the selected candidates how many times they have read the basic books. I haven’t met anyone who said less than three times in a certain year before prelims and up to 7-10 times overall.
I am saying this because I have been able to get 140+ marks in my attempts and that was because I didn’t do so much. Just revised basics , till I dropped dead and solved PYQs and just a set of 6-8 test papers.
Also, I wouldn’t want to be dishonest here and say 78 is brilliant. It’s not. I have seen the paper and it was doable. Some kick ass questions were there. The kind you would have in the exam.
But as Piyush Pandey, last years Rank 21, very brilliantly said to me, that if I was getting a low score in the test, I would either conquer it by rewriting the test or change my parameter for judging my preparedness- such as have I studied or not. Or have I done past 2 years papers. In the end we have to think along our strengths and not weaknesses.
Last but not the least, remember that half of success depends on your prepared mess today. But other half depends on your “performance” that day.
Thats the right cocktail for success.
You are not out of the race, not one bit.
You may be at best best behind . But life has taught me that you don’t know who will win until the race is over.
I met Aditya yesterday. 6 feet 3 very handsome foundation student of mine. Didn’t clear prelims 2times, did a full foundation , cleared prelims, cleared mains , stuck in interview then.
Next year he didn’t get through main list but got Information and SDM UPPCS
This year rank 92.
I asked him how he felt when he couldn’t clear the personality test when his group members like Gunjan , Himanshu and dozens others got ranks like 16, 27 and what not.
He sent this video to me, I watched in a loop.
See if it helps

Do you not “kill a mocking paper “ ?
@Neyawn i did that for simulator tests. I realised my basic questions are getting wrong so i revised and made notes of laxmikant and spectrum. My marks were getting little better like 90-100 but again it dropped to 70 and have been getting that for past tests.
Focus on just 6-8 papers. There is wonderful post by some previous year girl topper “malhotra” . She said she had a choice of attempting more papers VS revising old papers and basics . She chose revisions. Have you watched Apala Mishra”a interview on YouTube. Watch her prelims talk.
inspiring & a bit scary too. "the last days' massive reshuffle" you often talk about! (now is not the time, but those 5 days break before optional :| )

I'm sorry to barge in here, but I'd really like to know your perspective on how to optimise your performance on the 'D-Day' :)
