@AllMightwell according to a senior(currently in IAAS) one must be confident that 16 sites must be absolutely correct(along with 30 word theory)..this year..I think serious aspirant could have done 16-17 sites with accuracy

@ShubzAgree completely. Just because some of us were marked down and we had started with anecdotes/stories does not mean that was the sole reason for low marks.

Don’t worry bhai the same was the situation with me in 2016 and I was sure I had gotten several sites wrong but I ultimately scored more in paper 1 even after leaving a question in the medieval part. (Got 138 in paper 1 with 6 months history prep)@Shubz
