@root It will be great if answer keys of other coachings are also incorporated in the score generator. :)

@root @Neyawn 

@Neyawn @farejul @root 

I wanted to ask this as well. Especially in the next 20-30 odd days, something like AWFG would help a lot to get into answer writing mode.

Agree. I feel that in a day or two, we would lose steam and inertia of rest would creep in which could be lethal.

Yes most likely. But still fingers crossed. 
But one thing baffles me is the 15-20 marks variation across keys. This can be troubling for many. But again no point pondering over this now :/

And secondly Neyawn, can you tell if there will be AWFG this time around or not ?

I don’t think there is 15-20 marks variation. Skip the old Ram”s though, they don’t work on the keys, because they do t prolly need to.

@Neyawn What can be forest cutoff this year?

18.6k views
No no. I Definitely did not refer the ones you are talking about.  😅
Like my scores are 115( topper) 111(Vision), 108 (some other key) and 100 ( forum). 

I am most likey safe but like I said for others it can be very disturbing. 

Clearly questions on casual labour, tamarind, copper slag, cooker and 1,2 more are different across keys. 

But wahi ki ab iska kuch nai kar sakte :/ Samajhdari ismei hai ki mains mei lg jaate h ✌️

Forum answer key has wrong answer about the 1935 Act and Women seat reservation. Seats were reserveed in State and Centre as well along with separate electorates. So answer should be B.

Not sure if forum's ans is wrong but certainly different keys are giving different ans for this ques as well.

@Neyawn GS score is 94.67 from Forum and Shankar both.

CSAT net correct 25 or 26 but 10 wrong in RC itself, 5 wrong in Maths( so they are irrevocable)

Yesterday checked RC from Forum CSAT key then 2 incorrect RC became correct but 2 correct RC became incorrect.

Scoring 100 as per Forum, 98 as per Vajiram and 102 as per Vision but CSAT is super borderline ranging from 62-69. :(
