  • 2013. Tough paper. Easy checking
    2014. Easy. Easy
    2015. Easy. Tough
    2016. Tough. ??
    I think for 2013 easy checking was only for Paper -1. For 2015 the checking was neither tough nor easy but the desirable level (or may be I just developed a preconceived notion that people with history optional may not get easy 250+s, I don't know!). For this year, I found paper-1 definitely tougher than last year but not as tough as 2013. Paper 2 was the most satisfactory one for me and I found it ok-ish.

  • @neomini please share your last year's scores so that other people can also take benefit from your experience.
  • hope this year history optional does really well....
    happy new year B)
  • What is the stability of history, I mean is there large variation in marks in subsequent attempts or is it relatively stable ? I have seen that it is not much scoring as an optional but is it possible to get 200+ consecutively ?
  • U cn get consistently 200 plus marks
