Geography optional Mains 2019 discussion | Lessons Learnt
Where are all the poor souls of geo in forum ?
Guys... What do you think about paper 1 ? Would it be like 2017 where people claimed they got much more than expected due to some lenient correction ?
Similarly in paper 2 I found that I had very less case studies and facts to quote on paper. Pls do comment so that we can have a gauge of the way optional is going.
Ashu074@HartshorneHow much were you scoring in guidance geo tests ?
@Rand_Al_Thorthey give low marks man. But in ranking I was in top 15 in almost every test..marks 99 to 120.
@starksthis year
@HartshorneThis was also my first mains with geography. How are u utilising time between oct to dec?
@vvvikas0078212paper1 mein 220-230 attempt mein kitne mil jayenge roughly?
@SUMANSAURABH201296904I am reading a couple of newspapers. Next pre ke liye also doing something. A lot of exercise and building social capital.
@al_biruni140 u can cross if 230 attempt is of decent quality.
@vvvikas0078212okay decent was only of 200. thnx
@al_birunidid u attempt web of life question in p1 q3c
@HartshorneYeah they give pretty low marks. I got like 100 in paper 1 and 100 - 110 in paper 2. That's the maximum I got. It was tough considering I was not a 500+ student and some said that some questions came from the program every test. Idk how true it is though.
Anyway I was hoping to score somewhat better than last year but it doesn't look likely.
@Rand_Al_Thoryes there are some questions from 500 program. I have heard that they give more marks to test series student. I know a student getting 60-70 marks who last year got some 290 marks in upsc. So you see these marks hold no significance.
@al_biruni
I think paper 1 first instance looks Easy but comments are not so easy to recall the term .Hindi medium students also got confused in AMENSALISM question and the negative impact will spill over other question . I am hoping 130+...
2nd paper was scorable 5 maps .... Expecting 150+...
..........amensalism question also hurting me I am a hindi medium student and I read this word amensalism (हिन्दी म सहजीविता था जो कि mutualism होता ह , amensalism की हिंदी असहभोजीता होती ह ) prelims ke bad pde nhi the so amensalim and comensalism m confuse ho gye and messed up ......अब फील होता ह की हिंदी के सब्द के अनुसार answer दे दिया होता तो भी शायद अच्छे नम्बर मिल जाते ।।
