[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 found the test on similar lines as 'Abhyaas ka Abhyaas' Test of 31 Aug, although easier as compared to Abhyaas 1. I also agree that they should release the results and answer keys a bit earlier

anyone attempted abhyaas? found this one  a bit easier than earlier mocks...however posting answers after 3 days defeats the purpose of  a mock..

Attempted this one. For me, it felt difficult and a bit vague in the first round of solving. Thereafter in the second round, many questions got solved after pondering upon them. I felt, the paper demanded a lot of connections, logic and elimination.

@MarcusA yes bhai ! exactly...the precise reason why i decided to give it on 8th (so that immediate solutions mil jaayen) Wo ek ajeeb si chul machti hai test ke baad ! uss chul kaa sahi faayda uthaao to acchi padhaai hoti hai and we tend to analyze with the right frame of mind. But do din baad...the whole enthusiasm is gone.

@MarcusA I actually found it quite challenging. 31st August test seemed easier as I could eliminate and attempt around 98. This test had quite a few factual type questions which you either knew or you didn't. 
Anyway will see on 8th!

I agree on the results bit, they should send the solutions to mail ID so we can cross check. I don't think there are many candidates that desperate to seek answers from third party and attempt the same.
But I guess this makes the rank list somewhat more credible
Good luck to all!

To everyone who said UPSC will have a great fool proof SOP and nothing to be concerned about.

@rafael do they publish results of students who only give GS test and not CSAT?
Do not want to spend too much time on institute CSAT papers. They are so unnecessarily vague and difficult

I also found it relatively easy but I guess I have taken too much risk, attempting almost 95+ questions. Also, questions were repeated from Vision FLTs, making guesswork a little easy. Good luck to you.

Test was in a moderate level of onlyias. Elimination worked in almost 50% of the questions. 

The score is not important but rank. Try to be in  85+ percentile in such open mocks. The more percentile you fetch, the more confidence you would have. But aware of one thing, UPSC won't ask a single thing or rarely 1-2 on a very good day. So, don't dwell much and take it as a pinch of salt. There is no co-relation with UPSC marks and Mock test series.

Yes, It was tough from last time in my opinion. Yet people scored very good marks because of the fraudulent cheating system in online mocks. IGNORABLE
