Did anyone attend Insights Prelims Test Series fully (I subscribed but took less tests due to lack of time)...Did it help in scoring better? and the Best scorers, any other prelims test series that helped?  

Thanks, this being my 5th prelim, already cleared 3/4 prelims (2013,14,16...15 i lost my 1 mark)....I put in like 3 months and i still remember stuff after 4 years gap!...made some blunders but I am at 80+- (obc), Paper felt sinister in the exam hall:- ( I mean its no longer like you study and get an edge), so I was wondering how to play in the new field incase i attempt again!

Thanks, Best Wishes to you as well!

GM cutoff can't be more than 87.. max....85 is probable IMO

This is from business studies ncert class 11/12th

Still I believe opt 2(as given by all coachings) will be more appropriate answer

Where is fuhrer now??  

I've heard last year too people were talking about how tough the prelims paper 1 was, and speculated cutoff to be 90 plus minus 2. But in the end, it was on a higher side (if we consider 1-2 qns were removed). So how true are these discussions and predictions by the institutes.

Also, are people really seeing a drop of 15-20 marks as compared to their last year's marks?

I am so confused what to believe and what not to. Are there people who are scoring really good marks and keeping silence? (I hope this isn't true )

Obviously things will be a bit clear once the result is out. But can someone with a little experience give his/her views on this?
