GSSCORE 37
attempt:- 68 correct:-61 score:- 119 . Not bad, but cannot take this score as standard. i should discount it by atleast 12 marks
comments:- actually, i was very lucky today. I blindly guessed six questions ( i should not do this in main exam) and five of them were correct. and though tropic wala question is wrong as per key and took mark for it. as an extension of luck, i was googling about muskdeer this afternoon (because i read about it in medium) and there is question on muskdeer. the schemes are relatively less obscure. the outer space mission question was directly lifted from down to earth . so easy strike.. many other questions are also relatively familiar. to be frank, this is a lucky sunday ( hope this luck be with all of us)..
@sulawesi Bhai, your accuracy is very high! Any tips?
With regards to this particular test, it's sheer luck. As said in analysis, the questions looked a bit familiar.
But speaking generally, if I don't know the exact answer, I use relative knowledge and option manipulation to pick up right option. However these tactics don't work always.. eg:- if a question like denisovan or kangsabati is asked, we have no option but to simply leave it.. depends on paper.
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...@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?
