The essence of a mains test series is

So the essence of a mains test series is

Takeaways:

  1. Answer writing practice: you must attempt all questions. No compromise here.

Please don't adopt the strategy of 'I will attempt only 17 questions in the best way' . You are setting low targets and giving yourself an excuse not to work hard. Average answers for all the 20 questions will lead to an above average net score.

2. Pathetic evaluation

No hard feelings for any coachings, but the evaluation is below par everywhere. Generic comments, 'you are doing well' types. Do not take these comments seriously. Instead, use your own wisdom, read your answers after a few days and you'll realise the shortcomings.

3. Marks in test series

If you look at my answer copies, my marks ranged from 87 to 105. The evaluation is pathetic, marks should not be taken to heart.

4. Model answers

Below par content. Copy pasted. Please do not adopt the strategy of reverse engineering stuff: I'll cover the syllabus from model answers of test series. This is a surehsot suicidal strategy. Read relevant content and attempt the tests. I never ever read the model answers.

5. Peer group ki importance

If you have friends, seniors etc who can actually see and give feedback on your answers, nothing better.
