closed with the note: Main issue will be resolved later,as mentioned by Arjun sir....topic deviating Now
A thought! when i was in 120 minutes mark ,loadshedding happend and when i reopend again within a minute! all marked answers were lost!
thank GOD! i write down all answers while solving ,in copy and again just marked them in near about 12 minutes..from scratch..but after completion it is showing my time 133 min....means previous 120 is taken in account..ok..but then answers should also come  marked while reopening.

periodic update to db will solve this

 

ps:my final year project was on an online exam system for entire college,and had to deal with this kinds of issues always!so don't mind for this extra suggestion

And how you feel questions are and overall standard ?
Like
Questions are obviously conceptual and standard..(like gate 2016-1)....but it was a little direct! mixture of concepts,(gate 2013 like)will be great if any further test is there.
Like
Thanks, will follow your suggestions in next 2 tests.
Like
Why specifically Gate 2016 set 1 uddipto? What do you feel about set 2?
Like
while appearing gate in set 1, i found it direct..know the concept.that's it..

and i have not yet touched or seen set 2..

have left it for final mock in february
Like
After GATE 2016, most people told set 1 was easy and direct. But in the end they got "+5.." via normalization which shows it really wasn't easy. Aptitude for set 1 was really tough. And for GATE tough/easy depends on what the top 0.1 percentile feels and even GATE normalization considers that. Average case is useless here.
Like
@Uddipto Unfortunately it can't be done before coming GATE. Because one has to dig the code and fix it and hard to say what will happen due to the fix.
Like
yes i also feel that gate set 1 was tough more conceptually n most question are not following any test series kind of question while in set 2 most are the topic are from test series n common topic but still this is wht i feel bad about gate bcoz doing normalisation is not the solution bcoz in gate concepts matter if one thing is tough than it will aftect every thing --- time, no. of attempt , level of concentration as well as confidence so there should be one exam that should be common to all

okay,arjun sir i understand!

And i am currently assosiated with the developement of an unique website,that gives anyone z platform for organising one/multiple online test! with following question types

mcq,subjective,comprehension and diagramatic

and with tons of features in report section

Hopefully we will launch it within next 4-5 months!!

so i know, it is really hard to fix within gate for you!! one fix=tons of code change
Like
@Priyanka Good, you are knowing GATE well :)

@Uddipto that's nice. To be honest I should not have told that. But I'm too busy to fix it :(
Like
@Priyanka :- +1 for that.Set 2 was very easy last year

thanku sir its bcoz of all of you n gate overflow which is making me improve day by day as well as my scope of vision about gate,learning as well as helping others for taking our nation a step forward in education.

i am always thank full to be a memeber of it.

@priyanka, yes GATEOVERFLOW is doing some real charity for us..Tons of resources for free..Last time i cam here 20 days before exam and it changed my vision,i was getting poor marks in test series and only hope was to qaulify with above 30 marks

but after coming here, i changed the way of tackling concept and got 45+(AIR-2127) in GATE,that also with silly mistakes..means 55-56 marks i was correct in concept..

so again,a big thank to Arjun sir,bikram sir and all for everything

and a ton thanks to Bhagirathi (AIR-1237)(my college friend) who informed me about this platform!!

sir same situation with me not getting good marks in test series can you plz suggest me some ways ?? to improve
Like
write down mistkes and make sure u never ever do the same thing..

revise those wrong answerd topics.
Like
but sir m doing this but still my marks are constant m not able to more questions as m scared of being negative so avoid to having doubt ???
Like
Make as many mistakes as possible,so that there is no chance of making in gate:)
Like
Marks are directly proportional to number of question attempted. at least do 35 sure shot and then try maximizing the number of attempts
Like
@tendua number of attempts per question or total number of questions attempted ?
Like
The total number of question attempted. Try attempting as many you can. Like if you attempted 42 questions. Definitely, 5 will go wrong in the best case. The average score will be around 45-50 and in worst case 30-35. If you develop a habit of attempting more. You will attempt around 55 question in the worst case you will be getting more than 40 for sure. "Just don't guess the answer" that's not attempting that guessing. Attempting need practice. try on test series and find a good way to do more and more questions
Like
Bro I attempted all questions in the gate set 1 with confidence expected above 70 got 54. now i attempt each questions twice and leave hard once.
Like
For you only, try attempting less and see how much you get.

Rather than periodic update, triggered update for every change is more easier to implement and less resource intensive :-)

I'm ravindra babu ravula's student and as per his guidance i'm not doing any previous year or mock tests , Let's see what happens :) . I am just taking two mock tests just to get an idea on time management.
Like
he said not give any test series or previous gate ????? m which mock test uh are gona give ??
Like
@sumanth bro u r brainwashed by his motivational and guidance talks and u will realise this after exams are over and results are declared. trust me on this, solve all the previous gate papers till atleast 2011 and don't give much importance to his mocks.
Like
Obviously one is GATEOVERFLOW GO17 and may be one from virtual gate. And the reason he said not to go for previous is because he did all the tricky problems in course and left trivial problems which are obviously easy. And just to check to what extent he is true i revised DBMS completely and attempted all DBMS previous questions and i got about 95% of the questions right. But Math, he did not do any previous but anyway math is somewhat easy . So i did what all he asked me to do. Let's hope for the best.
Like
@sumanth,he never said that dun give any test series and prev years.
Like
and @gatesjt...he is not only a motivational teacher,he is a great teacher.he teaches realy well.he makes evry concept easy.
Like
Yes @gatesjt i did not find his mocks useful. i have made easy previous book and im solving from it even though he did not specifically asked to do . I'm leaving out all the straight forward questions and focussing on tricky ones from previous.

@akriti,  i used to feel the same previous year

@AkririSood have you seen his video uploaded on 25 -12-2016 he says no test series  nothing unless you are completely thorough with class notes!

Those who have no common sense cannot be saved. Before listening to anyone ask yourself the reason for it.

Adding one last thing. was once a Ravindra student. Do test seriously. Other wise you will regret your decision. As said by arjun sir. Listen to yourself first. He is great teacher but everyone has his own kind of mind, he just want you to be confident and don't panic. Test series is important for time management issues. Yes, he taught you everything.

My experience in one line after paper was-

" I knew everything, every concept, still can't do it. Did the same mistake again. After studying soo much should have taken test series seriously. "
Like
@Arjun Sir, well said :)

In remaining days redoing GATE question as much as possible is my target, any suggestion regarding this sir ?
Like
I think this topics should be closed now,it is going somewhere else and it was already closed by arjun sir..

@sachin,yes from tommorow i am starting final revision with all stucked +gate question in the tenure og months

and i would like to give a trinbute to arjun sir, for that common sense wala comment..

there are two method of learning a)spoon feeding b) mastering , class a people can get success, but you need to apply, your common sense there, other wise plan a,b,c, nothing will work

 

and fo suggestion /discussion you may open a new one blog...i am closing it,as the issue is addressed by Bikram/Arjun sir already and will be taken care of ,in future.
