Mains 2021: Doubt and strategy discussion thread

I don't know what to say, really. Prelims is over. The discussion as regards the authenticity of answer keys is the most futile discussion. So, I am creating this thread as a necessary and much-needed diversion. Three months to the biggest battle of our professional lives begins now. All comes down to how we heal and grow from now on, and either, we heal or we're gonna crumble. Day by day

We're in a toxic environment right now, fellas. Believe me. And, we can stay here, get the s**t kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light. Mains is the road ahead for everyone of us notwithstanding our current predicament. So, let's continue to fight and not let our guard down.

Yours faithfully
AzadHindFauz

Someone posted here that QCAB of Mains has slightly different dimensions than A4. Does anyone know what are the dimesnsions of answer writing space.. I mean how much border should I leave in A4 while practising? 

My estimate is around 27 cm x 16.5 cm. It's a larger writing space than forum or vision that's for sure. The page is of a non-standard size (not a4), there are no top-bottom margins, and width is also a bit more.

That's just from what I remember though.
