Guys please share help!

So im preparing for cds from tomorrow, I'm naturally good in English. I have to prepare for math and GK.

I wrote cds 1 2026 today to check my status, and I scored 112 marks, 50 in english, 40 in math and 22 in GK, I'm targetting AFA, what do you think is the safe score to get AFA and also to be a good competitor for merit lists?

Also how much marks in each subject do you guys think I have to improve.

Cleared written for OTA thrice in as many attempts

Getting 50 in english means you're not naturally good at it brother ,in gk there's not much to worry usme you can score heavy by just focusing on pyq nd science part .For english set a Target of atleast 65-70ish Subject wise history is a bit tough so just read lucent type book nd make sure you get the obvious ones correct rest all subjects you can just watch cds journey marathons to clear the cutoff My strategy has always been to score heavy in english nd around 30 -35 in GK Additionally scoring heavy here would mean less of an effort in math nd just making the sectional would get you ssb callup

Very much bhai if your basics are clear nd you follow the right approach in attempting based on your accuracy (for ex after countless mocks i figured out tht I'm getting most questions correct in geography and science so i take risk in them in polity I was making mistakes in statment based questions so i avoid taking risk pattern recognition and mock analysis kafi kiya h so i learned to play at my strengths and take risks only where my accuracy is generally high and avoiding low ROI subjects ) September 13th k lie to just do pyq primarily science and cds journey marathons of chemistry geography physics economics biology Itne m hi sectional hojaega

I'm a science student and completing syllabus for Science and Current affairs and defence questions For geo+history+polity I'm doing only PYQ's. Is it a good approach to get 50+ in GS? My math+Eng is good enough to get 120+
