test 4:

correct: 37

incorrect: 13

score: 65.33

q2. read parliament as president

4. Lokpal's (prelim) inquiry wing. (thought ki investigation toh CBI karti hai)

7. Constitution requires President to appoint leader of majority party in in LS as PM (b/c art 75(1)&(3))


11. Bor Tiger Reserve: Maha 

18. state party

(thought "only 6% votes to LS" is enough; logically, "+ 1 LS seat" makes sense, since it differentiates from "8% votes to LS/SLA" condition)

20. logic: CoM are collectively responsible, not Cabinet. Cabinet takes decisions and CoM endorse 'em ->speeds up govt activities

Q 32 didn't focus on "ask A minister" i.e. individual responsibility. knew about 164(1A), but thought maybe rules mein bhi add kar diya ho

33. read improper as proper

35. b/c NCRWC did recommend 

36. change ko decrease man liya

38. concepts clear nahi the as to president/governor's role wrt 5th/6th sch (area/application of acts)

40. didn't notice distinction b/w discharge & acting as

47. sarakaria's hung aseembly-order of preference

test 5

correct: 43

incorrect: 7

81.33

comets & asteroids (logic: thoda pani toh hota hi hoga; asteroids erratically move karte honge; basics hi clear nahi hain)

Privy Council (b/c laxmikanth mentions 1947 Independence Act along with PC Act, mujhe laga 1947 mein hi abolish ho gaya tha) 

All India Judicial Services (b/c RS resolution but power toh Parliament ki hi hai :/ )

Seventy-third Amendment Act, 1992 inapplicable in Nagaland (lag raha tha)

Chattogram Port (logic: Bangladesh mein toh Chittagong port hai lol)

both Parliament/SL (governor reserves!) can change HC jurisdiction; posting and promotion of DJ by Gov (consults HC)


lok adalat: criminal cases (logic: wahan mediation hota hai, so won't cover criminal; only compoundable offences!)


could've got most of these correct if relied onrevision+memory & not logic
