1. National Transit Pass System

2. Barakah nuclear plant

3. Caspian sea - got confused about uzbekistan totally covered by Turkmenistan

4. Photochemical Smog/summer smog.

5. semi-diurnal has 2 hides & two low tides. diurnal tide has only one high tide and one low tide =>don't be fooled by the word semi to have less number. Infact semi here signifies less duration between these tides. :grin:

SFG Test #19 - Geography

59.33M - 33C 10W 7U


Didn't complete syllabus. Need to move on with other work. Can't post errors here today.

The results do give some pressure. Gone are the times when results were the times of excitement which now became kind of depressing.

Hi,

I felt the same initially. Getting low scores consistently demoralised me and I almost felt like giving up. About a week ago I started reading the comments on this thread and it gave me a little hope. I am still too hesitant to post my score but reading your error assessments has given me a new perspective to approach this exam.

Most of the times when I look at your corrections, I go like, "man I knew this was confusing. I am not alone!!" You have inspired me to work on my mistakes and today when I read this post I felt obliged to thank you for your efforts. Keep working hard and keep inspiring!!

Test #20 - Geography

73.33M - 39C 7W 4U

1. Pokkali paddy

2. Social forestry - afforestation on barren lands. Actually it do include Agro-forestry where trees are grown on cultivable fields along with crops.

3. Bru/Reang Tribes - Now that I see answer seems like I've read all this before but forgot now.

4. NGT Act - got this correct but NGT appeal lies directly with Supreme Court.

5. Over-irrigation salinity increase. Chemical fertilization without organic manures/sufficient humus - hardens soils

6. Retreating monsoon - low pressure in andaman sea ->cyclones. I don't know what I was thinking putting frontal rainfall option as correct. :grin:. But I still am not clear how low preassure is created in andaman sea when ITCZ has already gone well below equator.

7. BIS - earthquakes. Didn't have time to read the question. Seems like this classification is different from the one I read in NCERT. Also Love & Rayleigh waves imp. Also with increasing earthquakes in delhi - see that it is in Zone IV as per BIS classification & high damage risk zone as per GSI classification.


Funny story Didn't wake up to 3 of my alarms at 6:45, 7, 7:15am. Woke up to my brother's at 8:30. Jumped out of bed and somehow finished this test.

Moral of the story - don't study late for the test and end up not waking up for the test at all ->back in college days this is the story of a lot of people :sweat_smile:
