Can someone provide a 'general skeleton' for answers where I can fill the content ?
@vikhcu2073 completely agree with you...
I have written mains 3 times....i got 91 marks in paper 1 in 2016 and 147 in 2017...2019 marks yet to come...
I joined Mahapatra test series in 2016...worst test series I have ever joined...only good thing was current affairs examples but for that you cannot waste your precious time...
2017 joined Praveen kishore test series...he gave some useful content and I was able to score 267 (still no help in paper 2...got only 120)...Praveen sir sometimes goes beyond the syllabus and this led to wastage of time... evaluation also not good...
2019...wrote 3 tests of vikas Ranjan....it was good to assess your time management but not helpful for value addition or current affairs...
My take on test series...no good quality test series is available in market for sociology...we must prepare as much as possible from PYQs.....write any full length test of both papers of any coaching in the end just to check wether you are able to complete paper....do self study and don't run after too much content just stick to basics and PYQs and revise revise and revise....thank you...
P.s - if you are thinking of making any telegram group for sociology then do let me know...
Brave,
@GravityShades sure
@GravityShades Nishat sir don't believe in providing model answers. Only test discussion.
@Katsumoto I have joined Forumias last year, evaluation was good but test discussion used to take for 4-5 hours. Since marks are not out I don't know where do I stand exactly. Only good point I think of test is, it makes one write paper for 3 hours.
We can make group on telegram or discuss here only.
@Katsumoto Me too. Let’s form a telegram group.

Add yourself. Please initiate some conversation. Share your daily targets.
Hello peeps. Is anyone willing to lend me a helping hand inpreparing model answers of PYQ?The funda would be simple- choose a mutually decided topic, quickly read it from the base material (or the notes you must have prepared before pre), and dive into solving the past years papers. At the end of this exercise, we will hopefully find ourselves amidpre prepared introduction, conclusion and body of frequently asked questions(which is certainly repeated to the tune of50%), and, supplementing these questions withfresh perspectives and debatesfrom the current affair of the bygone year or so. This wouldnot be like test series, where we acquaint ourselves to write within atime frame, but instead, the intent would be to focus on preparing quality model answers, which may initially take bit more time, but I am sure, with practise we can reduce time spent on a single answer, and we can bank on this compilation to handle a majority of questions asked in actual paper. I must put the disclaimer that I am yet to write mains, and this would be my first time (not sure, on borderline). Please DM in case this idea even slightly resonates with your plan. Thanks.Abki baar, 350 paar.

@12432TrivendrumRajdhani thanx it is upto 2017
@PrinKed Thanks. Yes. Its upto 2017. Though I have updated it with the fresh questions (upto 2019), but I wrote in the margins, and on the back of the page, thus you may not find all the new questions in chronology.
