    I had primarily focused on SR notes...no such collaborative effort in last attempt ...would like to get input from other serious aspirants...
  • I had primarily focused on SR notes...Lat year wrote the most general answer in Paper 2 ,just like GS papers and got 110 marks ...this time I did align it properly withing theoretical framework.... Will have to wait for marksheet to see what went wrong .....
    yahi galti hui hai ab 70s me marks aayenge see after result :( that's most sad part in PSIR .
    I got 125 in 2014 in paper-2 when wrote without theory and 73 when aligned.
  • what to do then ? Agar pure GS type likho to bhi kam hi aate hain ..whats the proper mixture....completely confused.....
  • what to do then ? Agar pure GS type likho to bhi kam hi aate hain ..whats the proper mixture....completely confused.....
    Its GS type ans with scholar views backing +data which has fetched ard 120 marks for some of my frds.
    Pol sci gives 125 easily so ard 240+ that is wat we can ensure usse jayda toh impossible hi hai ish optional me .

    Means writing from realist perspective india china is competing for power influence security dilemma ye panga karta hai.
    rather we should write in technical language that its struggle for liberal democratic order in south asia and asia pacific.
    revisionist power wants alternate world order while india status quo power wants to rise in the hierarchy of liberal democratic order.
    People quote social constructive perspectives says this and write the language of english not pol sci .
    it backfires not only 4 me but ard 6 people whom i know they got 50-70 marks .

    write in proper pol sci language it will ensure 120.
    usse upar toh only c rajamohan can score :/
  • understand ...kindly suggest a strategy to tackle paper 2 ....and also some books or material for Paper 1...Is Brian Nelson a good book for thinkers?

    count me in too if you guys are willing to collaborate. i got 224 in 2014 mains but no idea what happened this year. i had got 118 in p1 and 106 in p2 that year. i have a feeling pol sci spoiled the party for me this time. :s
  • we must start our collaborative effort ASAP...because these two months are crucial for our mains preparation ..after that everybody will be busy in their Prelims exam..... we can have close group of maximum 8-10 people on telegram for peer review ... I guess @Timepass can guide us through it ....
