for me tukka means intelligent guess..........since we have some knowledge about most of topic so if we apply our knowledge we can increase the probability of getting right ans....more ever when someone hits 90+ question he is prepare to get 18-20 question wrong....... baki sabka apna strong and weak area hota hai i got around 120 in forum test with 95 and a few people get it with 75 attempt.........one just need to know which type of person S/he is...
@Yo_Yo_Choti_Singh One way of elimination "Can be" to understand the thought process that the guy may have used while he was framing the question.. For example, With reference to dugong, which of the following is correct? 1. Its a herbivorous marine animal. 2. It is found along the entire coast. 3. It is given legal protection under schedule I of wildlife act 1972.
a. 1 and 2 b. 2 only c. 1 and 3 d. 3 only
Every year or at least once in two years.. You can see a question or two about important animals in India.. He looks up maybe in the schedules of wild life act or maybe vulnerable or endangered lists or list of animals that have been in the news lately. Once the guy decides to ask a question on dugong, whats the first thing he can do? He will obviously go through some source to know more about the animal..
1. Its a herbivorous marine animal - Why did he choose this statement? Unlike the questions in various test series, options in upsc are not meant to confuse students but are framed in a way to guage factual/analytical concepts. For people who know dugong is also called sea cow, it may be easy to guess its a marine animal.. its quite obvious that upsc wont expect the students to know whether the animal is a herbivore or the guy framing the question wont trick on "herbivore" part. I mean i dont know about others but thats the way i feel. So when i see such statements, I feel its picked as it is from the source.
2. It is found along the entire coast. Usually statements which indicate extreme values are not true. The animal is not commonly heard of, the source would have obviously mentioned some specific places where they are found. If the guy had mentioned some specific places, i would have felt its true, but instead its a statement with extreme value, isiliye i felt it must be false.
3. Legal protection under schedule I - People who have seen the list know how long it is I cant expect guy to see which animals are not protected under such a long list and therefore make a false statement..Too much of time waste if i was the guy framing the question.. The statement again, is picked up as it is from the source.. Therefore it must be true..
1 and 3 is correct.
You may have noticed this, Tukka cant be made out of thin air.. one should have atleast a little idea(sea cow, the length of the wpa,1972 schedule list) about the question.. Or else tukka will definitely become sukka
I wish I could have got to know such vital tricks on 8th June 2016.
I dun even know wat is duogong.....even my auto corrector dunno this....
for me tukka means intelligent guess..........since we have some knowledge about most of topic so if we apply our knowledge we can increase the probability of getting right ans....more ever when someone hits 90+ question he is prepare to get 18-20 question wrong....... baki sabka apna strong and weak area hota hai i got around 120 in forum test with 95 and a few people get it with 75 attempt.........one just need to know which type of person S/he is...
No prelim test series matches UPSCs standard. I was scoring more in vision and insight by attempting around 75. But this did not work in the actual upsc paper 2 times in a row.
This time around everyone knows elimination technique thanks to roman saini and vision ias. Cut off will soar very high for general atleast. . Attempting less will be suicidal. 90-100 is the optimum range.
I doubted Roman saini. If I would have attempted questions wherein I eliminated a single option. I would have qualified for mains in my past 2 attempts.
The law of attraction is a lie. But the law of probablity is very true.

art of tukka making
For me if i see a question having no idea but only single factual correct answer and only 1 option is in news then i mark that as correct. It works fairly good 4 me- cse 13- 101.33 only single wrong answer cse-14- 98.xx- 3 wrong answer Cse 15- 131.xx- 4 wrong Cse 16- 138.33- 3 wrong.
so it works at-least 4 me example- european stability mechanism- (last yr ques)- i have no idea but i thought it must be related to eu crisis and in option it was present - fortunately it was correct. same 4 green accounting question.

The law of attraction is a lie. But the law of probablity is very true.
Every one is saying that you have to attempt those questions in which you have eliminated atleast two options so that probability of getting right answer is 50% but for this rule to work you have to attempt ample number of questions in which you have eliminated two options (i.e. certain sample size is required for this rule). Many times it happens that we attempt 10-20 questions where we have eliminated two options but it turns out that that law of probability didn't worked.

sahi baat.. but some risk we have to take ...going conservative in a paper with increasing cutoffs is risky..
2015 jaha tk mujhe yaad h attempted..76..out of which 23 mein 2 options eliminated..aur jo eliminate kiya wo sahi eliminate v hua..but all 23 were wrong.. so was unlucky on that day... aj Well thought guesses bas wahi h jab aap 3 options eliminate kro

Yes we have to take the risk and attempt the questions in which we have eliminated two options but for that law of probability to work we have to attempt more number of questions where we have eliminated two options i.e sample size has to be large enough for the law to work properly.
