Please read it carefully

As you can see, you have to answer 5 questions out of 8, in each paper.

Also, instructions specify that you have to mark on the computer screen which ones you are answering and which ones, you aren't answering.

That is, the ones you are answering should be made 'green' and the ones you are not answering should be made 'red'.

Last year, a few candidates had not done this and immediately after completion of time when they realised this, tears started rolling down the eyes of a few candidates !

However, this didn't affect the result. In the selected list, there were candidates who had not done the green and red thing properly on computer screen !

But still, Our purpose of writing this message is to convey this :

For the sake of peace of mind after the exam, Please remember to make the attempted question numbers 'green' (and unattempted' question numbers 'red')

.

.

For achieving many of our goals, we need to address the challenge of population well.

Even if a direct question is not asked from here, you can mention this point somewhere

All the best for tomorrow's exam !

Remember that, if you can attempt the exam intelligently and with a calm mind, you are in for a serious chance.

Do not go ahead with any expectations regarding the paper. Your mindset should be : I have studied well... Whatever be the paper, it will be the same for everybody. Even if it is unexpected or dificcult, it will be same for everyone. Hence, your focus should be on executing the best, given your knowledge and skills.

Last year, candidates found paper to be slightly lengthy. Hence, maintain good speed from the beginning only. Be careful with calculations.

For Indian Economy, the question may be such that require you to utilise your knowledge, and write a sensible answer. Be prepared for this, in case a direct question is not asked.

Utilise the 1 hour gap between the 2 papers effectively.

Marks of the Mock Tests are immaterial ; just try to incorporate it's learnings in the exam.

Shed all inhibitions. Over the last 3 years, I have seen numerous candidates, who felt they lagged in many aspects, went on to score one of the best marks in the exam.

Trust yourself. Stay calm and attempt both the papers intelligently. Focus on doing your best.

All the best !

Sleep on time tonight.

Candidates who appeared for Phase-2 Exam today, please send memory-based questions (as precise as you can recall)

Reach home. Take rest. And then you can send 😊

@testonomics

Thank you for your responses.

As per the messages received, most of you found a few questions to be somewhat different compared to what you expected. And a few questions along the lines you expected.

Another issue was, even though you knew the answers to a few questions, you felt you had inadequate content to write answer for 20-mark questions !

Our understanding is that although most of you found many questions to be unexpected (or, even unfair ); answering 4 questions in both the papers was manageable. The fifth question may have been a challenge.

Regarding type of questions, although the questions may have been different from the last year; If you look at last 4-5 years papers, many questions were along similar lines.

I am giving a few examples below :

From our Phase-2 Test Series. But we had not provided any Model Answer. We hope anyone who had attempted the Mock Test would have benefited.

(From our Phase-1 Test Series) We had updated it's answer a few days after releasing this Phase-1 Mock Test and informed here on this channel.

And it had been asked at Phase-1 and hopefully, links were useful for answering the Phase-2 question as well.
