[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.

I think differently when it comes to mock tests.


I don't take them to gauge my preparation level. I never cared how much I am scoring in these tests because I never count my marks. 

Nor, I like to put myself under pressure that I have to solve xyz number of mock tests before exam. 


For me, papers solving serve only two purpose


1) practice application of mind and develop this mindset. 


2) gain information


I suck at multi tasking so I pick some papers for first purpose and others for second purpose.


First is skill based, so there is no fixed number. It depends on one grasping power and self improvement zeal. One can learn this by solving just few papers and some fail to get it even after solving 100 papers. 


The second purpose is informative so I pick papers based upon my strengths and weakness.



Both requires having sufficient idea about your aptitude and self improvement zeal. 

So, how many you need to solve ultimately depends on oneself.


Everyone is unique and approach things differently. Identify your requirements, find your own way and focus on self improve.


No guidance and no test series will help you if you aren't willing to help yourself.


Well it's just me (just taking random thoughts out due to frustration so pardon me)

24% GDP contraction this quarter, 65k dead, evidence of reinfection getting solid everyday (which also puts the vaccine makers in more trouble), end nowhere near. Expected to live like nothing is happening in the middle of the chaos. Wow.

Guys, what is a good score in vision full length tests? I am scared bonkers as I am hanging between 80-90. Any experienced players' advice would be appreciated. Thanks.


Don't bother much about prelims marks. But keep in mind that you are not repeating the same mistake again. Learn things and revise them properly. But for confidence, try to bring your marks upto 100 at least.

How was unacademy open mock guys?

I tried giving a mock wearing a mask along with face shield. My eyes became blurry after some time.

I also had trouble breathing in between and focus was diverted to breathing properly multiple times during the whole duration. It affected my concentration a lot and I had an urge to just remove the mask altogether.


With the added pressure of D-Day, it will become really difficult to focus.

@vikkyanthro28607 Most of us will do the same I presume. No way the invigilator will come and point at everybody one by one to put on their masks. At one point when an aspirant will be uncomfortable while attempting his/her paper, the masks will slowly start to slide down!

Removing mask will increase the chances of catching the virus exponentially. Mask is literally the only thing standing in between!

@RonWeasley Jab uncomfortable hone ki wajah se questions solve ni honge then fear of the virus will go out of the window and masks will come down!!!

Nope. I used an N95 mask. Although, I am not sure of its reliability as I had ordered it online.
