yeah ok serious now. after failing to clear the exam, for 2008 i made a simple startegy.

attempt quant first.( assign- 30 odd mins)..there are only calculations there. so better to do it when d mind is fresh.
then reasoning ( assign 30-35 minutes)
english ( not more dan 25 minutes)..
issues of social concern( 20-25 minutes)..

that was my strategy, it worked in 2008 . and most of the puys i have met, stick to this startegy only. all d best

it was dis strategy i was talkin abt

read this table clearly..
reported area is given at 306 and its is taken as base .. so 23% of 306 is forest area.
while in pd its given 20.64% of total area which is 329.
