moderate

Paper 1 and 2 are easy. 3 and 4 are moderate. Paper 5 is 
tough

Hi all,
I was preparing by butts off for about 10 - 12 hours a day 
for Group - 1, but after attending the essay paper I wasnt 
sure if I will ever make the next level as the first 
section was full of irrelevant questions. Couldnt see any 
essays which I prepared on. The rest of the other 2 
sections had expected questions, however the first one was 
bit general. Though I marked 7 pages white to black I'm not 
confident on the first essay. There is no doubt as one of 
my other dude already said rest of the other papers were 
moderate and easy, I would agree with him but all my dreams 
and more over most of the students struggled really hard to 
score some decent marks in paper 5, as the critical thing 
was the time issue. After checking with couple of my other 
batch mates who are Mtech IIT's and engineers, even they 
seemed to have had timing issues. All I could do was 
attempt only 100 marks and not even sure if I may score any 
better than 70 - 75. So I have my fingers and legs crossed 
and just waiting for the results to be announced, so that 
may prepare well for the next year. How about you all, how 
did you guys perform??
I was expecting to compensate my minor mistakes committed 
in the first 4 papers with paper 5, however it now seems 
that the first 4 papers should come to the rescue of the 
5th paper. All my dreams have been shattered by the lengthy 
paper 5. Every one had high hopes to score well in the 5th 
paper, but it seems even people from Maths background had 
difficulty in solving it. Its not that we couldnt solve it 
but 3 hours was very less to solve it. Finally it appeared 
as a Paper not for selection but a smart tactic by APPSC 
for elimination... let me know your views friends.

Nothing to worry shyam . paper 5 was time consuming to
everyone and to every graduate , yep.. engineering students
can fare well, unless they are preparing for CAT or
something like that. if that is not the case then no
engineering student can score more than 120. Though it
wasn't that tough, it demanded lengthy, monotonous steps. so
 70-75 is still a good score . average score may fall to 40
in this particular paper.
