A little background : lets just say i f*ed around a lot with no career direction now finding out !!
For better or worse or for worse at the end of 2024, i landed in my parents house with absolutely no idea of what to do with my life!! Either off myself or get married !!
So while my parents are searching for the suitable guy .. i started my prep for banking ( sbi po notification was out then ) .. in the first mock itself i realized this aint gonna happen as i was/still am very bad at math !!
After wasting 3 months i switched to ssc cgl ( i did not know about this exam , i might have found about it in Reddit itself) … i did not knew about the OTR , luckily on the last day i was on reddit scrolling , a guy ( thank you guy !! ) posted something about it and i was shit scared filled it out shivering 😂
I was scoring 120-130 in mocks on average .. on the d-day … hard shift , my raw score was 133.5 and normalized is 147 🙏🙏( thank you god !!)
After tier-1 exam i knew i would clear the cutoff but again self -sabotage .. i stopped practicing , gave 1-2 mocks of tier -2 and just wasted a lot of time !!
Tier-2 exam date is out and i counted the days not even a month … i studied whatever the new topics needed , the stuff that i missed for tier -1 .. i was scoring 300 ish in mocks .. a day before exam i gave 2 mocks and i scored 325 and 330 but these were oliveboard mocks 74,75 😂😂 kinda on easy side but i got the ego boost
The d-day again !!
I was sitting there in the exam hall and suddenly realized i did not even cover a topic i wanted to 👏👏.
Section -1 :
Reasoning went really well except for one
Math is just 😵💫😵💫😵💫.. i checked the time 10 mins left
8 questions unanswered .. started to panic .. attempted 4 more questions before the timer ran out
I was very disappointed in myself .. if only i studied more math .. i never even heard the term “ parallelopiped “😭😭
Then comes section-2
English went really well again
I saw GA , and i was this is now a goner for me !! Not because it was easy for me but it will be easy for everyone else .. basic stuff which i don’t know 🤷♀️
I confidently marked the questions i know and with same confidence i guessed(thukka bhai thukka ) 😂 some more
Now comes computer !! THE BEAUTY
So in the mocks i left all computer sections , thinking whatever
I covered one video of computer with pyqs
In the exam , even after having 2 computer science degrees i barely could answer stuff !! So with the same confidence i guessed some more 👏👏
AFTER EXAM DISCUSSION :
i knew my attempts , i checked the key in telegram many people were discussing .. i counted roughly and gave myself a margin of error and my guesstimate score was anywhere between 290-330 .. 330 being me using up all my luck for this lifetime
ANSWER KEY :
Me being me .. i checked manually first … shocked seeing the score !! Checked again if i made any counting mistake , NOPE !!
checked in rankmitra … any guesses !?
330 !! And 34 in computer ( OH MY FREAKING GOD )
The amount of numbness i felt was unreal .. then came the post answer key discussion
People challenging questions left and right !! So my hopes of getting a good post kinda tanked
POST PREFERENCE
Level 6 home state ??
Level 7 delhi ??
The dilemma begins
I am dead sure if i give the exam one more time i will not get this lucky so i just went ahead with level 7 .. still not sure if i would get it
I knew i will not get ITI , i am not eligible for gst so it was either ASO CSS /Afhq or OS !! I left the decision to god
Any guess on what post i got !?
.
.
.
yes !! ASO CSS !!
Call it luck/fluke , call it gods will , call it destiny i don’t know
This aint over , there will be drama in DV next !! But i wish this is it !!
the purpose i was waiting for
I want to thank this sub and the people in it for guiding / helping/sharing.. directly and indirectly !! 🙏🙏🙏
