whats ur best performance in 2016 mains test series

Getting through mains stage is all about our relative standing.
Since some of us are not aware of how these test series and their
marking works, lets share our best scores.

to start with my best till now is 72 in Gs 2 vision which is just about
3.5 marks per question.
has someone scored close to 100 or higher in any test vision or other
institites?
«1345

  • Thats an awesome score! about 5.5 in every ques- assuming
    u attempted all.
    could you share what factors worked like more content/ dimensions ?

    most of the ppl in my circle have got in 60s ... :(
    this score is a complete outlier.....! quite unbelievable for ppl like me.

    91 in gs2 vision.. @killer_queen killer marks btw system showing 109 is d highest in gs 2 for 8 test series one..which was ur module? which institute?
  • koi example hai jo bina test series join kiye acha rank laya ho? :|
  • In 2015 list- shayad hi koi ho bhai...
    most of the top rankers have taken coaching, joined test
    series...
    in fact I believe the role and importance of
    coaching has become more crucial after the
    " back breaking move " by UPSC in 2013!
  • Nikhil Pathak had the highest GS score of 426. He did not join any coaching or mock test series
  • talking about which year brother ... not 2015 ! ?
  • there are exceptions..but exception doesnt make rule..its better to join test series and have some writing practice before the D Day..though its my view
  • At Vajiram:
    GS1-103; 2- 96, 3- 93, 4-108

    Vision: 1- 112, 2- 85, 3-92, 4- 113, Essay: 118

    BTW there's a member named jack_dawson on Forum. He scored rather poorly at Vision last year (~60-70 per test) but in Mains he had a GS total of 392 and 132 in essay. Geography and PK Joshi took him out in the end :(

    Vision's checking army sticks to the model answer and hence is not much reliable.
  • even I felt that they are looking for a specific structure even if one
    has otherwise covered all the 'relevant' points

    btw there are no model answers in UPSC evaluation ryt?
