It would have been better if the question paper and solution would be available just after the exam and not after 2 days so that we can revise the mistakes made which are afresh in our mind.

Only if @ForumIas takes this seriously. been saying this since last year.

Found easier compared to Vision Tests. Overall, a balanced paper, more along the lines of last year ForumIAS All India Simulator Test X.

Every paper will replicate a certain previous year paper- so difficulty across the papers will vary. So the game here is to perform well in all papers. Thanks for the feedback anyway. :)

The Issue here is that people will create an account, see the solutions. Make a second account, get 100% score with the first key and there is no purpose of Answer Key.

Still you should provide for the answer key asap, so that one can check how he/she did and don't have to wait for 2-3 days to again go through the same paper, which would consume more time.

If someone cheats, it's their loss. Anyhow, scoring a good rank here would not mean much, since the size of students giving this test wouldn't be enough to predict fairly, your success or failure at Prelims. 

Moreover, far important than a rank is to see for yourself the number and the kind of questions one is getting wrong and the reason behind it i.e. whether it's lack of knowledge or the way one makes an educated guess. To analyse that, if the answer key is there right away, it could give you a better insight as you vividly remember what you were thinking while marking a particular answer and what not. 

A 2-3 day gap would just make many of us to go through all the answers and explanations in order to cram the extra knowledge without analysing why we did, what we didn't during those 2 hours.

But I know, it's a free test, so, we shouldn't crib much.

It gives the answer as C. Shouldn't it be A?

Does CAA 2019 reduce term to 5 years or 6 years?

@mickeyviru yes. individual rank though.
how much did you score ?


I did not do well my rank is around 1500. Whereas students have managed to score marks as high as 197 approx. So lots need to be done.

Hello,

I have cleared Prelims with like 30% margin every time I wrote it. You need to focus not on 197 - but on making sure that you are 100+ as far as this test was concerned.

@Omen Hello friend.
I understand your concern but I think there is a polite way of saying it. Had Forum not been serious, they would not have taken the trouble to conduct the test online for ALL the students. Remember, it takes a lot of human and material resources to organize this, something we aren't even paying for. The least we can do is be respectful. 

All the best.
