Can someone tell if there will there be AWFG this time around or not?

@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.

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

@Voyager I dont think cutoff will cross 86 this time but that has to be from upsc keys.
It may happen that u get 90 from final key while u may also get below 80.
Your chances are less than 50 percent but its not negligible. 
Pls prepare for mains so that if lady luck blesses you,u can reap dividends in mains.
Congrats for staying in there till last.
It speaks a lot about ur perseverance.

Hi!  Yes I remember. 
100 from forum key. Atleast 80-85 in csat.

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 ✌️

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 ?
