Clearing GS (107-112) ...but screwed up in CSAT...getting 50-55 marks in CSAT...this was my 4th attempt with full time preparation...gave mains last year...
.but this year it seems impossible!
Uncertainty is the new normal.
Will Need to do a part/full time job to sustain and please anyone having contacts regarding upsc related teaching etc let me know would be helpful !!!
But will continue studying and preparing for the exam!!!
I tried the few available online like
Jagran Josh
Exam race youtube videos.
(many questions are wrong/controversial especially passages)
Ya u r right buddy !
I Will surely prepare for mains.
If not this year, it will help in next year's Mains. Also the number of days next year are very less(just around 2.5months )
But need to support family as well, as things are getting difficult
So hoping for the best, But i m prepared for the worst !!!
Giving UPSC year after year with same enthusiasm and Hope is nothing short of a ROLLER COASTER RIDE !!!
Enjoy the Journey folkz !!!
NISHKAM KARMA !!!
If it is any consolation for you ,it was my 4th attempt and soon turning 27...
One of my friend who was in interview last year, also facing the same problem (getting 62-65) his attempt is also hung in balance. Btw he is 29, and yes still unemployed ;)
So u and me r still better placed .
Cheers!!! ;)
As far as answer key is concerned i tri d Exam race videos, Jagran josh key
Both have many wrong ones...
So approach with caution !
Believe me, I can very well understand ur situation brother , it resonates with me and many others sailing in the same boat! So u r not alone buddy :)
Got a good message on telegram, seems relevant to our current situation so thought of forwarding it to u all. Its on "ACCEPTANCE"
When we don't accept an undesired event, it becomes Anger;
when we accept it, it becomes Tolerance.
When we don't accept uncertainty, it becomes Fear;
when we accept it, it becomes Adventure.
When we don't accept other's bad behaviour towards us, it becomes Hatred;
when we accept it, it becomes Forgiveness.
When we don't accept other's Success, it becomes Jealousy;
when we accept it, it becomes Inspiration.
Acceptance is the key to handling life well.
May Joyful moments be with you !!!

Hey buddy, yesterday someone posted CSAT mantra, career launcher key for csat on this same thread.
U can check that. Seems to he more reliable, but dont kno how much :)
Just out of curiosity, i compared the
UPSC 2019 offical key for CSAT ONLY for PASSAGE question and the answers provided by EXAMRACE's passage answers.
So they got 10-11 passage question wrong
(With all due respect to Mam and her efforts)
So the Maximum variation is 35-36 MARKS, if one considers 2.5 + (-0.83) *11
Given the range, difficulty level of this year's passages i think CSAT BORDERLINE guys have some hope!!!
Padh lo Pantar log, iss saal nahi toh agle saal kaam aajayega. Cheers ;)
NISHKAM KARMA !!!
