@eric 8 tests , 2 each of paper 1 ,2 ,3 4 and one final test one all papers= 8+4=12 tests
hence the number 9,10,11,12
@dp81 they are marks of the final full tests - 9,10,11,12
Now i would request some members who have got good marks to , if possible to submit a few answers from their answersheet, it will be really helpful, especially top 20 rank students.
May I ask if you don't mind by how much did u miss the bus in 2012, cut off was 700. And also it would be gr8 if you can tell how much you got in 2011.
Only if you feel comfortable to disclose them though
@Thor will discuss that stuff after the Mains . I don't remember exactly by how much I missed, but in 2011 when I appeared for interview, I lost by at least 70 marks.
I actually appeared for interview in 2012, but i had between 705-715 marks in Mains (can't conceal exact, for personal reasons). it was impossible to get through even if i scored 240 in interview, as good as not qualifying for interview (why i write 2012 NQ for interview)
i am using simple non-smart phone..using roommate's laptop.. so cant share some of my good answers.. but i was speaking one senior member of our forum who has got good marks..will share his answersheet once he sends me link..
"Hi,
I am infact uploading it on Dropbox. Will share once it is done. I have scanned via camscanner, and the file is very big.
Is it cool if I share the link with you and you can pass it on the Forum?"
@vagabond1 i just downloaded and found quality very good..pls take a look and share what u feel..
i am also getting idea of how to approch IR questions...the fellow has written very concrete answers, not using the diplomatic language of Hindu. -> has used technical words though. what do u feel?
Dude, one thing that really scared me about this list is the intensity of competition. I mean look at the list and difference in marks between the candidates. Now imagine, how it's going to be at the national level. It's totally cut-throat. Literally.
@BombayPirate Yeah I found most of the answers to be good. He attempted the paper fully and that's quite commendable (shows that he has vast coverage of issues). But in some, I think the evaluator overlooked important aspects and infact some factual errors.
