Psir kaisa hua guys?? Paper 2 could have been better for me. 

Yeah i felt the same. Kind of satisfied with my performance for paper 1. But idk why i underperformed in paper 2. That was the one I prepared the most.

How was philosophy guys? Paper 1 used to be scoring. But found many questions difficult and indirect this time (Locke's personal identity, ayutasiddha etc). 

How would you all rate GS papers compared to previous years? I caught fever in between GS and GS III was badly impacted. Left 2 questions completely and quality compromised in 3-4 more as I had to walk out of exam hall for 15-20 mins . However, even others would not have attempted WHO, Blue LED questions well. Don't know what to make of it. 

Preparation was better this time so kuch acha toh likha gaya hoga. Unable to recall anything! Last year Tak pata rehta tha exam mein kya likh k aaya. Sad this time due to poor health at last moment.

@necromancer personal experience, ever since I started taking sufficient protein and working out, been less lethargic and more energetic. Productivity gone up considerably 


Protein rich diet and resistance training can do wonders with one’s health. I too consume about 1.8g per kg bodyweight on largely vegetarian diet and little help from whey protein supplement. I also started with 3 grams of Creatine few months ago which has helped me splendidly with recovery phase.

@Dip yes, I am someone who is not able fill sheets fully. So, did many 10 markers just 1 page. And, was okay with gs 3 as somebody who filled 2 sheets not gonna address demand of these who, blue lead and other questions.

I can’t believe you guys would talk about proteins immediately after exam. Chole bhature, Aloo kulcha, Gulab jamun is what comes to my mind now.

Hi everyone

I have done my 3 mains with history including yesterday. However I am having issues due to its vast syllabus and somehow checking that supresses marks.

Any alternatives you can suggest

To all the history optional ppl, how was it?

I felt it was general and vague, P1 was lengthy i felt. 

I have relatively less knowhow of how history marking is these days, i had history earlier but for last two mains i had anthropology as optional, switched back to history this time.

I just have a specific question regarding marking. Purely based on the feeling of how paper went, is the final score mildly varying or wildly? I know it's a less rewarding subject but is the final score in optional very fluctuating?
