    I generally refrain from commenting on such threads but I think you are blowing things out of proportion
    Dude See it objectively it's just a competitive paper with a cut off
    You just need to make the cut i.e. cut off ( generally 40-50% of total marks of the paper)
    focus your energy in ensuring that you could clear the cut offs on any given day
    That's all you could and that's all which needs to be done

    why I am being harsh being there done that it sucks if someone goes into that trap one will underperform on the D-day when most of the players will be playing their A-game :)
  • what i feel after giving so many test papers is that at the end of exam i am only sure of 10-15qs rest are calculated guesses or wild ones too....(its like yaar padha to tha par yaad ni aaraha he)....i think with adequate no of revisions and good command over ca before pre one can restore confidence...till then just practice

    @Missionupsc bhai mera bhi kuch aisa hi haal hain..but everyone who has cleared civils go through the same process..the difference between the toppers and those who could'nt clear is only mental toughness (Assumption-for people with more or less equal preparation) especially when the exam is approaching..

    being nervous is normal as we have already invested 1000s of hrs in to the exam but now is a time for being mentally tough so as to crack the nut..I have promised myself not to allow emotions get over me till the time exam is over..atb :)>-
  • @upsc_cracker thanks champ !!
    @doolindalton that was an encouraging reply brother !! All the best to you as well :)
