[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021

Because of the corona virus issue? If it does not happen then worst affected will be people whose interview is stuck, around 600-700 such people I think are yet to appear for their interview.


@neyawn sir and others, what is your take?

This is the official Thread for discussion of Prelims Postponement, Please do not create new threads for the same.

This time competition ll be high .. Average people like me have completed 3 test series ..i do usually 40/50 test that too till the last hours . most of them without revision..  There ll be thousands who might have revised 3 test series with reference books with given extra time and space . Dont take corona to be a big hurdle ..   

Lolz thats nt how things work...in 2018 i barely did 20 tests with nt much revision n got 118

In 2019,i dedicated 4 months completely fr pre...around 90 tests(consistently scored 110-130),revised atleast 3-4 times bt only managed to clear on border line and failed ifos pre. 

Our revision resources r limited and test series r mostly filled with absurd questions. So prelims prep can nvr be foolproof

2 things that matters most are 

1. Encountering good no of ques frm topics which we have studied thoroughly

2. 50-50 elimination working in our favour.

@Shubz number 3 : cool and calm head inside the exam hall on the D day.

Jangling nerves in those two hours can shatter all the confidence of 130 or 140 + in sectional tests of coaching institutions.

@Shubz most test series filled with factual based absurd qns. Only vision sometimes give good qns(Abhyaas). Don't know how is forumias simulator which is the costliest test.

at individual level there ll always be exception . but whn it comes to large number of people more prepared they r more they ll be able to slide cutoff towards higher side  . May be 3/4 marks at best  .  If 2016 type qus ll be there .. almost everythng frm conventional sources it can be even higher .
