You just need to be calm and relaxed till prelim. You will make it.
Just a tip- don't keep expectation that you will clear, neither fear about failure. Just be in the moment

@D503 I did this last week it was a disaster for me!!!


i attempted 66 question  and stopped within 50 minutes(got 73). it seemed pointless. I felt it wasnt going to teach me anything.

@Rambo93 Maths is saying that. 

See we get marks like 100,100.66 or 101.33 or 102.
Its always a multiple of 0.33 or to be exact, a multiple of 0.66

Select cutoff for any category and multiply it with 196/200
The resultant will always be a multiple of 0.33 just like our normal marks.

If 3 Q were cut,u will have to multiply it with 194/200 which doesnt give a multiple of 0.33

U can try for other numbers as well.

So maths says 2 Qs r cut.

My guess-Gandhi Irwin pact and Current account deficit Question.

I personally believe it's time people need to get over this.. 

No doubt someone has qualified prelims through the category cutoff, but we often forget that in this attempt of mocking someone we neglect the fact that someone has scored a rank in top 20, which is no less a feat and a pure indication that the person has worked as hard as they could. 

It is very easy to discredit someone's hardwork in this nonsensical debate of reservation and non reservation. 

Over and out!

There are 3-4 criterias to declare a wetland for example-  one of it is that it should support around 20,000 birds in a day and so on.. 

If a rice field is doing that, it can be declared as a wetland..
