Daily Prelims test

Each day we'll do onE full test from available test series (websites, telegram etc) and post our analysis, our shortcomings and hopefully how we plan to improve upon them. It's an open discussion, as long as you write the test and share your score(only so that unnecessary chatter is reduced to a minimum)

MAKE FORUM GREAT AGAIN

@sulawesi Bhai, On average I knew about 40 Qs in a paper which fetch me say 70 marks. Now barring few odd Qs,  I think and mark which decides the final score. In mocks this lot of Qs fetch me good marks and I score usually 120 plus but didn't work out when it actually matters( prelims, that too twice, first by 2 marks and second should be even lesser). By looking at your accuracy in this and previous paper,  you must be knowing 60 plus Qs. This time I am looking to score more in Qs which I knew certainly, can't left things on luck/guessing. Is it possible to know 60 plus Qs in Prelims?

in any paper, we cannot answer atleast 25 questions (i think, even the dabis and pradips cannot) . barring them, the rest 75 are those which are from our std books and current affairs. they decide our rank.   if we can revise our sources many times, we can ensure good strike. some other times, we'll have a 'gut feeling' (sort of), about an unknown answer. its a situational decision whether to follow our instincts or not. sometimes my luck went very bad and out of some 6 guesses, 5 were wrong., someother times it is reversed... so, we cannot say what happens on the sacred day. Revise--Revise--Revise.. never mind about the other 25...

These are the targets which i set for myself:-

>>>Aim for 75 bits straight attempt. at present, i am able to attempt 66-69 questions only. i have to improve this

>>>don't make more than 10% (of the attempted 75bits) mistakes   (6-7)..... now, my mistakes are within this range

>>>make a min 3 guesses and max of 5 guesses .... normally, I make 2 guess based answers. seldom i touch 5

>>>Don't cry over spilt milk (i.e. the other 25 azeeb' bits) .... since, I just need 110-115 score, i will never think about the 25 bizarre bits.
(I am only into CSE, this strategy may not work for IFoS cutoffs)

>>>don't take test series scores too seriously.... because they can be insanely difficult or easy. just use them to enhance knowledge base. (some coaching centres deliberately give unheard bits, just to showoff that , they are teaching all this stuff for their classroom students and the "test series only-students" (or the telegram/xerox centre students)   are missing something by not joining their classes.. this fomo is very dangerous trick. it helps them in advt. but it destroys our confidence.)     I know people who never exceeded 80 in vision/vajiram, but got selected at pre. similarly,people who consistently scored a triple digit score fumbled on d-day... so, nothing can be taken for granted. ** Every exam is unique in itself**  

>>>  if you feel that your basics are good, then don't take scores too seriously, and to put it in  the arnub style : ' "never ever ever ever ... look at scores.." focus on the content . for eg: immediately after solving tropics bit, look for countries on capricorn, cancer, equator, indian states on tropics. rivers on tropics ..... that's how test series should be used... so, in a way, a single bit leads to a 5 min revision.. it's immaterial whether you answered it right or not, what's imp. is whether you revised it again or not...    (this is what i personally feel,  once i become a dabi or a pradeep, i will make these as 10commandments and implement them strictly in my jurisdiction.!!!.)

all the best.

There used to be a post earlier where forum used to post about the cut-off of the simulator tests. I can't find that now.

Does anyone have any idea about those cut-offs?

What's was the main objective of launching Mission Indradhanush when Universal Immunization programme was there... ? As both are running in parallel so it's kind of creating confusion..

@Freakhoto mission indradhanush is just another name for UIP. UIP was started during the UPA tenure, so MI was launched in 2014 to revitalize the program. Then Intensified mission indradhanush was launched to cover the worst off districts and blocks in 2017. So not much difference, just renewed emphasis and better targetting

@Freakhoto how are insights full length tests? Asking because the sectionals weren't great this year. Are the full length comparable to last year or vision?

I believe If your scores are consistently below 90 in coaching tests, then it is a problem. Then marks matter. But if not, then really as someone pointed out, these marks do not matter. :)
