Post mains results, what would be your strategy?

I have seen people with a bit of limited knowledge getting in and some amazing, really hardworking people missing out on the interview call. What did you learn? What would you advise others?

@ManchesterUnitedAfter mourning and shock I analysed what went wrong despite me finishing all papers,having readymade notes and questions coming directly from my notes..

I believe the single gravest mistake I did was not doing answer writing.I knew a lot in most of the answers which I turned into 7-8 points in majority of answers.Isko karne ke chakkar mein I started question from point 1 and ended at point 8 with no intro and conclusion.
Sidha answer likh mara......
Har paper mein 20 question mein 10 mark bhi gaya hoga(0.5 mark for intro and conclusion) 60 marks kam ho gaye honge.Wohi le doobe....

@bevancom
Answer writing is gud approach. But, we can not come to any conclusion without seeing the marks...

I m also out with Anthro.

@bevancomintro conclusion must h bro aur wo b related to questions
Points achhe h tumhare next time bhi use kr sakte ho fikr not
Jab marks aayenge toh share Krna
Yaha se ek learing h ki content k sath structuring of answers pe focus krna bhi bhut jaruri h
All the best?

@Ithriveoncocaine
I just now had a conversation with one of the main management person from EDEN IAS. I told her that i have 11 people with me who want to enrol for daily ans writing programme and requested her if the programme can be extended beyond 31st January.
She told me that she will confirm it in a day or two after asking the faculty team if any special session for experienced candidates can be held.
I asked her if i can create a common group adding you guys along with her so that doubts and concerns can be directed directly to her and she said that she would be fine with a Whatsapp group. So all of you who are interested may share your numbers with me. I will create a common group.

Socio went quite well, even better than last year. Out again. No idea what happened. Aisa lag raha andhere me teer chala raha hu.

@Kevin_De_BruyneI had the same expectations.. My essay and Gs1 perhaps took the hit

@bevancom4th attempt and 3rd mains. Failed in each mains. Very average profile(bachelors in geology). Age 25. I haven't thought about the future strategy yet. Talking to people who have cleared this exam as well as those who couldn't. I'll give one last attempt. Uske baad I don't think I would have the strength to sit again in this exam.
What are you planning on?
