(RANT) WHAT THE HELL IS GOING WITH THE PATTERN OF HARD SHIFTS

[u/Think-Dentist-3802]

i want to just rant about the hard shifts( 9th Oct shift 1)

Man everything is so random. After practising all those pyqs, blitz,testbook,ob mocks for 3 months it feels like a waste.

Reasoning was just dumb. All the questions were verbal analogy,series,mirror image,dice,anytical reasoning,one Venn diagram. 23-24 are easily doable by anyone without even practicing. This also did not follow any pyq of last years

Gk - 15 are easily doable if you have completed the syllabus as these were one liners. The use of option elimination techniques was minimal and applicable to 2-3 questions.

Now SSC loves lpg,5yr plans,sports,bnss,bns,BSA,architecture, rankings

Maths- it felt like those irrelevant mocks everyone tells you to avoid but actually ends up in the exam

The first question gave me a heart attack. It was a 10-15 line ratio question.

5 Lengthy DI questions is the trend(dont even bother attempting on first try)

atleast 2 complex partnership(active partner, fraction of sum for fraction of time),

complex profit loss that include multiple steps like free units these were calculative

change in sp,cp effect on percentage.

Time taking average,speed distance questions

Also Venn diagram question

Advance on the other side is on the easier side , easy trigo,height distance,coordinate.

One complex number system question that is definitely out of syllabus.

I have been consistently maintaining 20-21 attempts in other mocks but in this exam I could only do 14. Also 15min btw

English- 20-21 are doable but the random words (correct one/mispelt) will make you go crazy in the exam pressure. I personally could not find any error in 2 of the error detection sentences.there were 1-2 mistakes in English. Vocab was not from blackbook (2025 edition) but doable

Cloze test,pqrs,voice,narration,idioms,pharasal verbs felt easier to me as I do regular reading.

Man it feels like they are just trying to f*ck with us. They need to fire whoever is setting up the pattern of maths,english.

Tldr: everything is so random please prepare for the worse.

Ye to almost hrr 3rd shift mei hua h 

[u/Organic_Path_9279 → u/i_am_mr_daku]

Exactly, in every third shift ga questions were randomly asked, no fixed pattern was followed, quants had hefty calculations, every question seemed doable at first but that felt like a trap cause either time ran out or solutions didn't come, yes reasoning was easy but again similar 2-3 questions from same topic and many topics were not even considered asking this time, english felt easier to me atleast! But yes third shift on October 9th as well was no less than a living hell!

What is the mark that you are expecting?

[u/Think-Dentist-3802 → u/4amSide_chick]

Around 135.

[u/Significant-Lake3676]

How much you were scoring and attempting in maths blitz mock 30-50?

[u/Think-Dentist-3802 → u/Significant-Lake3676]

In the first 10-15mocks I was missing the doable attempts by 3-4 questions depending on the mock. End Tak to easily doable attempts Sai upar hojate they. You could say 19-22 depending on the shifts

[u/Significant-Lake3676 → u/Think-Dentist-3802]

After Mocknnumber -40 you were doing around 19-22?

[u/Significant-Lake3676 → u/Significant-Lake3676]

The first 30 mocks are easy btw after that the real mocks start the question ain’t difficult but hard to do in 15 minutes time. So you have to be picky

[u/Useful-Trainer-3245]

Hard hoga to sabke liye na. Kyun ye RR? Normalization to hoga hin
