Experience- Initially it was shocking, then the feeling subsided and now it’s grief. Will get over it in a few days.
I don’t know if Maths is butchered, but a lot of people post 2017 and 2018 have taken maths, hence the competition is just too much. Missing out on any moderate question can prove to be fatal. These are my first observations without knowing anything about the score.
So, this was my first attempt, right out of college in 2022. Maths correct attempt was 170+175 in my estimates. I felt it would pull me through since Essay and GS was good, but now I think missing out on 2 phase method, easy questions of Modern Algebra did cost me 35 straight marks in P2.
As far as the butchering and other things are concerned, I don’t find any point talking around it since all this is very subjective and opaque.
Definitely going with Maths again. This time will polish everything and I only expect the papers to get tougher or the competition to be more brutal. Having said that, now I am also thinking about targeting other exams based on Maths if possible. Do suggest me if you are aware of.
