  • is the 2012 prelims paper comparatively tougher than 2011?
  • edited May 2013
    One thing for sure guys against the usual assumption in decision making questions this time they did not have differential marking as in my answers I marked a couple of questions the option which was second in the answer key of upsc but I gave myself full 2.5 marks for these questions and my calculated score is exactly the same as declared by upsc... So no diff marking... At least some relief... We now have to look for two best logical answers rather than 1 and can mark any of them...
    The answers were in alphabetical order in both 2011 and 2012 keys, so this (differential marking) was never really an issue I guess.
  • is the 2012 prelims paper comparatively tougher than 2011?
    I think there is some confusion... You said you qualified, didn't you? Someone is saying you didn't clear at 210. Kindly clarify...

    You will receive multiple reactions :)
  • So the cut off was between 200 & 210. :-?
    Anybody who can narrow down this range?
    trulysid's score is 147.5+62 = 209.5 and he couldn't clear. So it must be 210 then.
    but i cleared, friend........................... by rounding off, the score will be 210.

    But who's to say there'll be no differential marking this year as well ;)
    Well, I am just keeping my fingers crossed this year as well just like last year...
  • Yup, I was right. Trulysid clearly said that despite getting a real bad score in paper 2, he qualified. So that means 210 cleared. Who is going to get us closest to cut off now...

    oops ! My apologies ! Then it stays somewhere between 201 and 210.
