Think some (5-6) questions (Ancient, Medieval, in particular) are now meant to be left untouched / outright ignored, by design. Anyone who even considers them risks failure in Paper 1 (consume time, still won't get them right).@mithrandir31 i its not basic level. i think those problems can be solved by computers!! I think we have all our priorities wrong! Asking what happens to a guy who comes out of a master and slave! multiplying 60X7X24X60 something! like whats happening!
It is basic level only. The passages are tricky but maths questions are not difficult onsidering that you only need 67/200 . You have to do more questions and much less time in SSC/clerk exams.
I am much more worried about the direction of Paper 1. What exactly does UPSC even want from its candidates?
@DM @PICERAS @hope22 @Jiraiya @sator @masteroptimist Thanks a ton Guys. Considering that Environment, Science-Tech, Geography (Mapping) questions would have completely obliterated me in this year's Pre, how would you suggest approaching these subjects?
I could navigate Polity & Economy Questions, some of IR (with elimination mostly), and would've scored only around 50 if I gave this year's Pre.
Thanks!@morsmodre Miyawaki, Biorock, climate tracker is in Environment Red Book of Forumias.
Yeah, shouldn't have clubbed Miyawaki with others. Found at-least 3 articles in national section on Miyawaki from this & last year.@morsmodre Miyawaki was in news for sometime.
Thanks!@morsmodre Miyawaki, Biorock, climate tracker is in Environment Red Book of Forumias.
Searched for these in Vision's 2022 PT365 & Hindu of last 1 year (May onwards, with site:thehindu.com filter on google), and couldn't find most of them. That's why I asked.
Thank you. I badly wanted to pitch for the red book for environment , but was not doing it for I wanted someone to have read it and give a review.
( Though privately, amond people I personally know, I have asked them to safely look at the Red book for EnV. Currently it does justice to the exam. I love the PMFIAS one as well - with cool graphics and all, but when it comes to competitive exams, you need somthing quick, racy, crisp, concise with high content density )
Some of the best mentors and people in Forum have worked on it.
@Neyawn @MM suggested the book, not me. Just directing credit to the right person :D
