I did something similar due to time paucity and could score around 112 ,not the ideal score but for basic content and poor Historiography , it's fine 


For 2022 I worked on quality addition with historiography and quotes for paper 2 ,now I fear for doing that😅

Mera assumption galat hua..mujh lagta tha below minimum score har TDH ko aa jata hai..


essay 90

GS1 75

GS 2 80

GS 3. 85

GS 4 80

Optional 100

Optional 100

Total 610. 


Bas 610 k upar ka 140 to 220 ka journey quality hai.. 


Roughly 118 questions hote hai total essay chodo to.

@RegistaniOonth which question did you attempt in  history paper?
For me
History paper 1: question 3 4 and 7
History paper 2: question 3 4 and 7

Ancient was simpler this time. Mapping 14 minimum correct as per various key.
I found world history compulsory question tough (10 marker) . Left 2 question. 
If there are history candidates. They can share their experience.
There is one observation that I have noticed is that this time history optional candidates were less at my centre compared to previous attempt. I think it is getting depopulated.

In 2020, inspired from few topper copies, I used some(or maybe more than that) "technical jargon"  in my ethics paper, my score was 77
So I was discussing with a senior ki bhaiya ye to fail ho gaya technique...so he said that, jargon stuff suits for those who have great command over language and proficient writing skills, for people like us, thoda man ki bat with examples works best..took tips from him and practised on similar lines...we both scored 105. He cleared the exam and I couldn't get an interview call because of my essay score(80 tak aa jate to call bhi aa jata)

in map, description of every site is correct but marked few of them wrong - eg. wrote about eddakal but was not able to recall the name so mentioned the site as Porkalam(its a megalithic site). Similar for that church..naam yad nahi aa raha that us time but baki sab pata that..dead body of st francis etc etc(prelims 2021 had a ques on it) so wrote st. francis cathedral🤣🤣..

one topper was saying in an interview that in gs1 he wrote 3 answers wrongly under 3 different questions so he had to strike it off..he felt like crying and all ... then in marksheet he got actually one of the highest in gs 1...so expect the unexpected...neither 58 can be explained nor sometimes marks shooting up beyond expectations...very unpredictable

Exceptions are not the rule 

Neither 58guy nor crying guy must be analyzed

and always never expect anything in this exam or expect the expected because there is a set of standard of preparation atleast. Jo utna kar rha h uska ho ja rha h

Big brain time
