What would be the safe range for the number of questions to be attempted in Prelims?

Q. What would be the safe range for the number of questions to be attempted in Prelims?

In my opinion, there is no standard safe range. You come to know your "safe range" through experimentation and trial & error in various tests. As my accuracy in Prelims was decent, I focused on attempting more no. of questions to be in a comfortable zone (above 85).

Attempting too few may risk falling short of the cutoff, while too many can increase negative marking. A balanced approach with calculated risks is key to maximizing your score.
