( This too shall pass)

I have shared my Vision Abhyas mains test series copies.
These copies can give some idea about mains answer writing.
This can be used for Group 1 mains answer writing also.

2017 - Prelims Failed
2018 - CAPF Interview Failed
2019 - Prelims Failed
2020- Prelims Failed
2021- Mains Failed( with big margin)
2022- Mains Failed( missed interview call by 3 marks)
2023- AIR 587 😀( Last Attempt)

Conclusion
if you want to achieve something Fight till the end.
“Never Give Up”.

My History Optional Answer copy

Simple but BEST STRATEGY for Prelims
1) Attempt around 90 questions in GS1
2) CSAT- Attempt All Passages in first 40-45 minutes.

Let me talk about some mistakes I did in the early stages of my preparation
No 1 - Not focusing on Mains syllabus
No 2 - Not looking at PYQs
No 3 - Ego and Over confidence
No 4 - Not having any mentor or guidance
No 5 - Not joined any test series or answer writing
No 6 - Not making notes

So these were the major reasons for my initial failures
So I request everyone to avoid them.
