@Neyawn  

After solving 100% sure questions (40) I am confused between 2 options in most of the questions and at last end up marking always the wrong ones. Any suggestion?

Okay,

First Can you write down "Out of"

100% sure = 41 right out of ?

50% sure = x out of Y

Secondly, from what I know there is no strategy to chooseone between final two. If you have many such questions, then remember two things

1. There is a catch in every concept, which you have to know, while reading or identify.
2. The earlier you start the better you will get at it.

For example, if there is a question / text on CBI, then most people will read that it derives powers from DSPE Act. But will not go ahead and get clarity whether it is considered a statutory body or not. 

Now, let us say you have read that it is not a statutory body. However, when two seemingly contradictiry facts are mentioned in choices - like it is govered by DSPE Act and second, it is a non statutory body, you are likley to develop cold feet and mark the answer wrongly.

Once you do the analysis that you are doing now, for at least 4-5 tests and upto 7 -8 tests, you will catch the hang of it, Then you will develop the aptitude to keep this angle while reading itself.

What you will need is patience . Once you patiently do this , you will suddenly make massive improvement, at which point it becomes difficult to flunk the prelims unless you are on high the night before the exam.

Even then it becomes difficult, because you know the catches.

Sir, I am poor in ancient medieval and art and culture. In last 2 simulator I correct around 65 to 70 percent questions right from environment but in today's test only 4 questions I market correct.

Before today's simulator I thought to work on history part but now I scored bad in environment as well.

Can you please help me out. On which subjects should I focus more

What is the cutoff for Simulator Test 3?

Is Q-56 Correct?

Based on the solution, and the link to Factly.

#4 seems to be linked to women's role. Also case-in-point the procurement policy (3% from women owned MSMEs).

Can anyone confirm?
