@vvvikas0078212in development ques i tried writing about link to growth poles and core periphery for disparity.jus one or two sentence to link though.
@Arrah_Jilasaid inGeo optional Mains 2019 discussion:
@vvvikas0078212left 2 10 markers blank ie pheratic erruptions
And tombolosBelow avg in TRR and NRR(NRR completely wrong)
Avg addresal of amensalism qusnRest 10 markers were on the expected lines
Two 50 markers are very well addressed
the 3rd one got little compromised due to paucity o
of time .Can I expect marks in avg category ie around 125 in paper 1
??
Bro this geo spoilt the game for me last time.i would be happy if i get 240+ this time.else i will switch optional.
@Rags
Got 73 and 113 last time.
Expecting 120 and 140 this time
@132_SIDbro u attempted all questions last year?n how was ur content as per u ..?
@132_SIDok al d best .
@Ragsyes bro its nt bad but its just my expectation.n geo has terrorized me to the core.
@Ragsyes i did.
Started with brief definition n components of hdi.
Then for paradigm shift wrote about how development perspective changed from growth of income to modern times bassd on development across social, educational and income parameters.
For limitations wrote about overshadowing of poor score in one component by gud score in other to get a high rank.ex of kuwait or some gulf nation where income growth far exceeds other factors
Also pointed the lack of intra family disparities not shown by hdi
And some other points.
Concluded with mpi like index to be more suitable to aid in better targeted planning.
@Ragslets see how it rolls out this year.
@vvvikas0078212bhai gs mein ache marks aaye toh ho jayega
@vvvikas0078212yes i agree.but if u see some geo qualified people u will see that they have scored gud in gs and average in geo
@Ragsgud analysis bhai but looking at the score in ethics in 2017 high scores cannot be ascertained.
@Ragsthis period is highly unproductive.
Can not decide what to do .prepare for interview or prelims or optional.
Every day new permutations for getting gud score are made further deepening the crisis
@Bubba_gump
First mains in 2018
Had a pathetic paper1 n got 73
Paper 2 got 113
@Bubba_gump
Lack of preparation.
Syllabus not covered fully
Lack of answer practice and no test series( couldn't get enough time)
I hope to cross 240 this time
@Bubba_gumpn this tym i have left only 20 marks in paper 1 and one 10 marker in paper2
@Bubba_gump
I also attended 500+
Attempted all tests though scored around 70-80 in sectional and 90plus in full test
This time i tried better structuring and better content through basic books and help of previous years questions
@Bubba_gumpbro hw much u attempted in each paper??
@Bubba_gumpdon't go by there test score. Real marks will vary alot.
@Bubba_gump500+ is helpful only if u have covered the basics and have an overview.
It only helps to make ur answers a bit different n cover wide points and make them presentable.
One thing is that this tym i atleast understood the meaning of what was asked by upsc unlike last year where i couldn't decipher the ques at all
@Bubba_gumpyes like hdi examples i utilised in the ans and plate tectonics was asked in full length test
But this time upsc stumped by no ques from perspectives
And paper2 was more inclined to gs side
@Bubba_gumpu can say so. But i did not study every topic as i moved from important to less important topics.
Was hell scared due to last year paper1 and ques of perspectives so studied that in detail but got little returns
This year m expecting 240 due to base effect of last year and will be happy to cross even 250.
@Bubba_gumpone guy i knw told me after xam that he knew perspectives will be missing as he analysed the trend and this was his 4th mains in a row.
@Bubba_gumpi hope i dont have to ask him his opinion on next years exam
@Arrah_Jilain age wala ques i didn't draw DTT as it wud have used space and taken time. I used the age pyramid diagram to dhow the age composition and used some data.
@hirockyrocks7101bro u will get gud marks.
@hirockyrocks7101i used in situ and ex situ in wildlife
@hirockyrocks7101i think brijesh jyoti was from hindi medium...
Isn't it?
He scored well in gs
@hirockyrocks7101yes bro.
But anythng above 250 in geo needs quite an effort
@vvvikas0078212bazar based or shop house type arrange is more suitable in india
@hirockyrocks7101ha yar ab bas result aye toh pta chlega kiska kitna sahi tha ya galat tha.
@hirockyrocks7101rightly said bro
@Ragsgo for 500+ plus wen u acquire basic content. He will just help u with structure and interpretation of concepts asked
@Hartshornei joined 500+ in june after pre. I was not sure of clearing prelims but anyhow wanted to utilise that 1 month.
After 500+ plus i can say that i understud the demand of ques asked, how to structure the answer and how to cover the wider perspective.
This year i left 3 10 markers in paper1 and 10 marks in paper 2.
I wud b happy if i get 250 plus.
Based on comparison with last year's attempt and score
Lets see wt happens
@Bubba_gumplast year was my first mains so no expected scores at that time.
Got 73 and 113.
@Bubba_gumpu completed the paper this time?
Whts ur score last year?
@Bubba_gumpi dont remember exactly but it was a total disaster in paper 1
@Hartshornei left them coz i was not having any knowledge about them.
In paper 1 i left transpiration and hartshorne boundary whereas wrote something about tambolos etc.
In paper 2 left one 10 marker due to time
@Hartshornei guess u knew most of the questions.
@Hartshorneok lets see thn...fingers crossed
@Hartshornein phreatic i got somewhat correct as made a diagram showing water plus magma eruption under pressure but consequences i was not so sure.
Grr was also just okish.
Sandspits wala i connected with depositional feature and wrote about in a page only.
@Hartshornehow much are u expecting with ur performance??
@Hartshorneinterview call aa jaye toh atleast kuch padhne ka toh mann krega tb..
@Hartshornejust think of it as the much needed rest after backbreaking effort.
@vvvikas0078212impressive marks bro....this geo has spoilt the game 4u as like for most of the guys here.
