@GravityShades parliament can discuss any matter of state except related to some judicial arena, but parliament can make laws on the request of the concerned states in normal condition and during emergency parliament is supreme in all aspects.

@kasanasandy007133 however parliament is supreme on any matters of India if it recognises its a national interest.

@GravityShades ya as per official key it's right because as per rules of house of conducting business the parliament cannot discuss state matter for making a law but if any matter of state has national interest that can be discussed by parliament and make laws with request as per rules.

@itsvarun don’t know about others but mine is way too anomalous. Like in every Vision subjectwise test, my average was 140 except Ancient. But in this Vision open mock i got just 40 marks . I think that this is the most devastating score and no serious aspirant can score so low . 

But i will tell you this , don’t let the chaos overpower you . If your scores are fumbling, screw the scores . Focus on 3 things namelyRevision , Temperament and Strategy/Technique. Believe me if you have toiled enough , you will sail on the D day . People generally think too much about their scores (outcome) and less about revision/technique (process) .

I don’t have much experience in this field. Even i am also surfing through the same uncertainties but i won’t let that hamper my mentality. I know that i have put myself out there for months and now isn’t the time where score in any specific test can question my sincerity or efforts . 

I wish you all the best . Stay positive and confident about the honest work which u have done .

By eliminating,A is most appropriate. SC ST act is a parliamentary legislation and industrial labour falls under concurrent list.

@AlphaCAT Have many people experienced this drop in their scores in vision open mock? I have also scored in the 60s. The worse part is that the percentile is also low.

Any chance if vision open could be attempted offline? I mean by printing pdf...do they provide pdf like Forum/ shankar do? I am unable to find the question paper on the portal

@rahulgandhi my friends who have scored 130 around in previous 2 prelims also got 77 only . I am iterating this once again , don’t fret much on scores . Focus more on improving on those mistakes , improving on the thought process. 

And don’t worry about the fact that 1000 people scored around 95. Maybe just to boost their self satisfaction, some guys did use Google while tests . Maybe they were completely honest . Leave the maybe’s and focus on what can be done , focus on your trajectory, be the phoenix rising from the ashes .


Its you , only you , who is stoping you not any specific score of say , a specific Vision mock . Keep moving forward , now is not the time to question yourself.

“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”
