Immediately after the mains exam are over, numerous things come to our mind wrt what was lacking in prep, what mistakes we made during the exam and so on.
however we forget such things and after the results, the cycle continues and so does repetition of mistakes.
lets put such things here so that we all can benefit.
ths pre result time is most crucial for this exercise.

    One thing I noticed was we keep on increasing our knowledge without analysing what the question demanded.Our whole focus remains on increasing the number of points in the answer. This year too I found many maharathis not able to distinguish between "examine" and " Critically examine". I have radically improved my marks in last couple of years , but still I found that in many questions, we do not strictly follow the directives. When ever I have tried, even with limited knowledge I was able to score well. This year I have taken special care to customise my answers, write it in a continuous flow rather than just increasing dimensions. This is what I have learnt in last 4 years. Pata sabko hota hai, but we lose out because of these mistakes.(IMO)
