Didn't join pawan kumar but what i know - gives most of the questions from previous year papers. Lukman - prepares some very good questions but most of copies aren't checked by Ansari sir. Buy you will explore new concepts in papers and discussions. Joined lukman in 2015, attempted only 4 5 tests. They didn't appreciate my writing style and use to give 78 80 marks. UPSC score - 121 + 99.
In 2016, didn't join any test series GS or optional. Attempted 2 3 tests at Lukman with help of a frn. Agains questions were very good but they didn't appreciate my writing style - 78 80 marks. UPSC score 145+156.
It's about building concepts, show your answers to someone experienced or participate in insights initiative for pub ad. Won't give judgement on which test series to join, just told what I experienced or know.
thanks vish bro what to do for good score in paper 2 i have consistently failed to achieve good marks in paper 2 2014 86 2015 104 2016 111
I just gathered more content - CA + Aribam + Net. Also, I checked copies of other guys who scored well in P2. They use to write answers in an elaborate manner. With more content, I modified my answer writing style for P2. May be that worked for me and changed score 99 to 156.
@_vish_ thanks bro i will try to do this in this attempt r u selected this year???
Did not join any test series, not practiced any test due to lack of time. But I went through Pavan Kumar test answers and some Lukman tests. Score- 2015- 120+138 2016- 139+139
@_vish_ sir that's an awesome score. Please tell more about the books you used and if possible elaborate more on strategy. Its a request plz
@_vish_ sir , for paper 2 is Aribam sufficient along with current affairs? OR we have to use other books also??
Please don't call me Sir. Last year I have read and re-read Aribam, practised questions and discussed basic concepts with friends. You can always check your answers after 3-4 days and you will know your mistakes. P1 : Prasad and Prasad + Prev year questions + Aribam P2: Aribam + Various reports summaries.
Checked questions on insights for previous year questions and good answers. Also, I used to check questions of GS score, Vision and Lukman to fill gaps in my prep; didn't prepare for "leaked syllabus", but tried to read in bits and parts from test series qns.
Stick to basics and when random question comes, try to answer with what you know (from basics) and examples. From my experience, simple language is appreciated.
