Guys, Essay Paper is over. How was it?
@MC Cullum bhai structuring and practice do make difference. I have personally felt that especially in optional. Score in one of the papers went from 104 to 140 just by answer writing. There is no alternative but to sit on the table and start writing. For prelims things are far more objective....conceptual clarity and lot of question practice all one needs.
100% agree. this is my observation too. knowledge difference doesnt exist. its all about writing

Not very sure but have seen people whose score went from 149 toh 110 in PSIR last time. Dont want to take his name but he was quite popular one. Got rank that year as well. So there is some randomness as well. In mains test series marks reflect only for very few.
But with respect to Pre on other hand i found more objectivity. People clearing IFOS usually scores around 120+ in almost all there mocks. Never seen some one scoring 70 in Vision test and clearing forest. but have seen some with 80 marks at coaching test but getting 140+ in PSIR.
But conceptual clarity and content is supreme. Structuring and Presentation helps in serving but not in taste.
Good answer writing is very subjective as far as humanities are concerned. One examiner may like your arguments in essay or say, on financial status of panchayat, and reward you for clarity u have and attempt u made. but another examiner may think " ye to sabko pata hai" , Naya kya hai..and bas Banda chepa hai notes se.. and end up giving average marks. Second examiner, is having attitude of finding faults rather than rewarding for ideas and knowledge.
One is rewarding approach , where good structured answers with content will be rewarded with higher marks.
Another is conservative approach, jaha bas hagne walo k marks Kate jayege..baki sab same hai...where ghodo ko similar marks diye jayege, bas gadho ko hataya jayega.
Aise me kaise koi bole success is guaranteed...success can be made predictable, but no guarantee or tend to be guaranteed.
@Panchayat ha bluff nhi karna chahiye tha dube wala. Last 3 min bache tge pressure mei aa gaya isliye 1 page kuch likha .but mostly sideline pe hi khela witg .other thinkers. But again nhi karta toh it would have been best
Maine bhi kia hai bhai..aap akele nh ho
