[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?

What is the IUCN status of Pygmy Hog? It's mentioned as critically endangered in Raus C3 but endangered on Wikipedia.

Its status recently changed from CR to EN.

Oh wow! Yeh kab hua! Thanks, just checked.

Pygmy Hog is still Critically Endangered. The species are in fact declining. The IUCN Red list data is as per 2016 assessment.

@SergioRamos the quant portion is really not tough. Basic qs are being asked. I would suggest you to spend a day or two and try them. Last year I relied only on comprehension and neglected quant, though i cleared the margin yet it was stressful. Try PYQ papers

I just finished 2015-19 CSAT attempt this week So my (amateurish) analysis is as follows- 

1. In comprehensions we can expect more assumption-driven questions rather than logical corollary ones. (For each successive year around 5 lesser corollary questions are asked which seems to make the comprehension mix more challenging each year) 

2. More statements to analyze and infer. (GS Paper 1 seems to be the inspiration!)

3. For math, simple questions like %age, speed and work done are gradually coming with minor quirks/traps as well.

4. Venns, graphs based statement questions and some Permutation & Combinations which check mostly basic reasoning.

3. It seems though, whichever the set, last 10-15 questions always had some very easy questions.

Bottom line is they want us to think more rather than simply deduce/eliminate in the exam hall. Perhaps beginning the paper by a quick glance at questions to ascertain the ones candidate is comfortable with attempting (accurately!) seems a helpful exercise. - you wouldn't want to come out of the exam hall and discover that easier questions were missed out on. Even for the 2019 paper, I felt that there were 25-30 questions spread across the entire breadth of paper which would be straight-forward (irrespective of the fact whether your fortè is math/literature; or like me you're mediocre at both). The challenge is really to identify these  at the early onset.

Hello guys, I am facing a major challenge of time management in paper 1.. Attempted forum open mock.  1st round of (attempted around 60 q in 1st round) took1. 45 hr.. Was left with only 15 minutes for second round.. Hurriedly attempted another 25.(total 85).got 114 (Was marking in OMR simultaneously) ...could you suggest any method of improving my time management so that I can give more time to second round which require more reasoning..
