Some candidates have reached out to me requesting to see my checked answer scripts. I appeared for an 8-test GS Mains series and a 3-test essay series between November-December 2020; I am attaching below the evaluated scripts for all of them. I wrote all tests in simulated exam conditions and only saw the question paper when I sat for the mock (on the date written on top of each booklet). Besides these eleven tests, I wrote another 9-10 unevaluated mock exams in the same period – two for Economics II and the rest for GS.
For the sake of comparison, I am providing my own marks in these mock tests along with the median mark in the same exam in parenthesis. For example, if I scored 100/250 and the median candidate scored 125, I’d write this as 100 (125). Hope this is helpful.
