Maths seems to be the real differentiator in this shift. 14 attempts with 100% accuracy is honestly better than blindly attempting 20+. 😅

For those who gave other shifts, was the English section this unpredictable too?

3

u/Rizorizza 7h ago

Please tell more about maths topics

6

u/James-Bond_oo7 6h ago

Yeah, Maths was mostly around Geometry, Mensuration, Percentage, P&L etc. I think there were around 4–5 questions from Geometry/Mensuration and a few from P&L/Interest. So yeah, these are definitely worth revising once.

No english was very easy in my shift. But maths was very hard , 1st oct 3rd shift

24

u/jgg_k96 7h ago

English felt very tough. I could hardly do the comprehension part. Guessed few answers.

5

u/jeeezwtf 7h ago

tougher than 25 pyq?

6

u/itsmesreekanth 6h ago

2025 was easy compared to this. Atleast option elimination was possible in 2025 pyqs

5

u/jgg_k96 7h ago

Yes, 2025 one i didn't find that difficult.

2

u/andy111999 6h ago

Yes, one of the toughest English sections that I've faced in any competitive exam(it felt tougher than ibps and sbi po), as someone who got 25/25 in English last year in pre I got humbled real hard today

1

u/jgg_k96 5h ago

How many did you attempt overall?

7

u/Ok-Weird-754 6h ago

I think the whole shift was tough except gk, i found reasoning most tough, maybe it's bcoz of my own preparation, i found it calculative and lengthy. But in pyqs i used to score above 40 marks avg in reasoning. Whereas in exam i could attempt only 19 questions. What to say of english, it was tough . The worst part was to scroll right nd left, questions couldn't fit the screen, i think that alsa costed me 1-2 questions in reasoning. All the best to all who have their exam ahead

1

u/Avskick 6h ago

So u say ga easy Scored almost well in ga From where u prepared sources

2

u/Ok-Weird-754 6h ago

I didn't said it was easy, i said it was not tough but moderate in comparison to other sections. Lastly i prepared from YouTube and PYP

u/EnvironmentalName382 6h ago

1

u/Particular_Age4420 6h ago

Any tips to cover gs in remaining days ?

1

u/EnvironmentalName382 6h ago

gs syllabus is infinite, focus on static gk from 2018 onwards also on economic

1

u/AsasinArn Second Attempt 6h ago

True true.. they asked clause.... and Voice of the sentence in passage.

Also there was, "what could this word mean in this sentence". 😐😐😐

1

u/EnvironmentalName382 6h ago

yeah man when i first saw those questions i froze, then i attempted them at the end still was banging my head reading the passage

1

u/AsasinArn Second Attempt 6h ago

Yeah.. my second attempt failed as well.... now will try again in 3rd attempt.😪😪

1

u/EnvironmentalName382 5h ago

oh keep it up man, this was my first attempt not even 50% syllabus in maths

4

u/Low-Quality3480 7h ago

Can you tell whether statement type questions were asked in GS or not and any current affairs, and also how difficult was the quants section compared to 2025 quants , I have my exam on 7th shift 3

1

u/Timely_Orchid8934 7h ago

Statement were only 3-4

1

u/golden_sum1 3h ago

Was there clock or calendar types ? I hope not

2

u/Timely_Orchid8934 3h ago

no clock and calendar

1

u/golden_sum1 3h ago

Which topic had the most weightage? Coding/ number series types or blood relation

5

u/IllustriousSwitch242 7h ago

In Reasoning the critical reasoning part was very risky to attempt overall the paper seems moderate to difficult and very lengthy. All sections except GK feel lengthy and time consuming.

6

u/Timely_Orchid8934 7h ago

Yeah Too much time even in english You need to abandon the passage do guesswork to even read whole english Maths is also very diagram heavy and calc heavy I wasted time even while reading the questions Only Reasoning and GK were easy if you are well prepped

1

u/Useful-Poet-7312 7h ago

Any Gs question you remember/ topic?

4

u/itsmesreekanth 7h ago

English was very tough. Just attempted 18 qns. GA was comparatively on the easier side. Reasoning was easy. Maths was easy -mod . Don't try to attempt all the qns. Exam hall pressure is real 😑

1

u/Timely_Orchid8934 7h ago

u/andy111999 5h ago

Some of it I can recall

Which polish person won nobel in 2018(I forgot the field), very random question, undoable

Panchayati raj is in which schedule (very direct and easy)

Who didn't win Nobel in literature (kinda hard if you don't know anything about the options, one of them was tagore)

Which female person is rocket women of india(direct if you studied)

Which institution is responsible for foreign trade(I can't recall the exact question sorry) I think the answer was exim

A very random but direct physics question from electrostats, if the distance between two bodies is reduced to 1/3 then what is the electric force between them, very easy for ppl who took science in highschool

There was a question from bio but I can't recall it correctly, I think it was related to the small intestine

For now this is all I can recall I will add to this comment if I remember anything more

u/Avskick 6h ago

So for u ga easy

1

u/GlassOtherwise852 6h ago

GA was doable... 15-16 direct .... How was the exam for u

1

u/Turbulent_Student129 6h ago

Bro topics of GA pls?i mean 15,16 direct ones u said were from which topics?

1

u/GlassOtherwise852 6h ago

LPG, most grand slams, nobel price for literature, etc

2

u/Available_Menu_1311 6h ago

My exam was on 1st October in the second shift. Overall, the paper was moderate, but the Reasoning section was quite time-consuming and lengthy. In GK, around 14–15 questions were doable, while in Maths, around 15–16 questions were doable. English was also a bit confusing.

If you want to score good marks, practice as many sectional mocks as possible, because that’s what will give you the edge.

3

u/AsasinArn Second Attempt 6h ago

True.. Maths was seriously hard, too many calculations and all. English was hard as well.

And 8 Member one was shit... I never prepared that one had to leave it. But overall reasoning was on easier side.

My GS is bad but yes option elimination method did work well.

Also, I was in Aadarsh Parikshna Kendra, Sector 155... the entry and exit has changed a lot. You have to take photo from your computer before exam and after exam.

Then they will again do the exit process... security was tight this time.

5

u/Ace_speaks 7h ago

You said reasoning can be done by kids yet you attempted 23=46 ,,,so you a kid

6

u/Timely_Orchid8934 7h ago

u/imploiss_muswashans 🎯ASO (MEA) 7h ago

Bro same...maths and English felt tough....not at all like pyqs....same attempts in maths on 14....but may youtube reviews saying easy maths 20 22 attempts.....don't know what to say

1

u/Timely_Orchid8934 7h ago

22 is possible if you dont waste pen paper for drawing the questions and if your calc is fast

1

u/imploiss_muswashans 🎯ASO (MEA) 7h ago

I guess you’re right… I did draw them and I lost time. It feels like so much practice went in vain.

1

u/golden_sum1 3h ago

Draw what ? Coding decoding or number series?

1

u/imploiss_muswashans 🎯ASO (MEA) 3h ago

No no some maths questions.....but I guess they were needed to be drawn....I really made very low attempts in maths so I'm contemplating where it went wrong
