Cracking IAS Study Circle (CISC) 2011 Question Paper General Studies – Prelims ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------www.crackingIAS.com wishes all the students very best for their Mains. Students feedback 1. The CSAT Paper 1 was very general and there was a sort of mixed feedback. However majority felt comfortable. [Dear Students, Please note one thing “Civil Services Preparation is a Wholistic Process”. It cannot be bifurcated into Prelims and Mains. Prelims is just one stage of Civil Services Exam. Hence we always suggest students to prepare as if they are preparing for Mains especially for GS and fine tune their preparation for Prelims after March. This would be the correct approach. We have been always emphasizing this. In 2011 CSAT GS PAPER there were many questions based on our Mains Notes also. CSAT PAPER 2 on Aptitude needs different approach.] 2. The UPSC has once again proved its unpredictability and liveliness. 3. There were

74 QUESTIONS

based on our test papers, class

discussion and study materials. [DETAILS GIVEN BELOW].

Expected Cut off

CSAT PAPER 1 – 35-40 QUESTIONS NET CORRECT. (i.e) 70 -80 marks net. CSAT PAPER 2 – 45-55 QUESTIONS NET CORRECT (i.e) 112.5 -137.5 marks net. Combined Score (Paper 1 and Paper 2) – 182.5 -217.5 (Depending on reservation scheme the cut off may vary in this range). Please note: On June 12, 2011 immediately after exam students gave a feedback that most of them are getting around 60-65 questions net correct. But after verifying the solutions they had conveyed that their net correct questions have come down by 5-10 questions. Keeping this in view we have revised the expected cut-off marks. We sincerely suggest students not to waste the time gap between Prelims Exam and Prelims Results. After Prelims results you will not get sufficient time to prepare for Mains.

Be focused on Mains. You’re born to succeed.
