Prepared for : zuk days before exams
Performance: I think I'm not bad, but examiner may think otherwise
Expectation: At least I deserve last job in the hierarchy :D
(Surprisingly I got first job in the hierarchy! Deputy Collector - June 2009)
Have been ignoring this exam all the time coz of UPSC mains classes.
But on dad's insistence and my second thoughts I took that hall ticket to mains reluctantly.
I got through prelims, so its a chance you should not let go...
Finally the day before exams I bought 3 books - AP History, Economy, Sci &Tech
and started my preparation the same day!
General English: very sac.. If you dont perform well in this paper, you better quit preparing for civils!
General Essay: Managed to guess all the topics few hours before exam n discussed with dad and I could do well.
Then started troubles! Heavy rains in Hyd, the next day for History & polity exam, caught in traffic I almost missed the test. If not for my dad's presence of mind, I would not have gone to exam center in time. We got down the car and almost swam in the flood waters to cross all those strangled vehicles, we ran, we crossed small n big streams, we crossed the road twice n decided that its better to walk on divider... finally we reached Ameerpet and took an auto to exam center.
To my surprise I was only 5 min late.
Exam went well. I know most of questions, I wrote longer answers for the questions I dont know! :P

Group 1 papers were very lengthy. Time was the biggest constraint.
So my strategy: "Write few lines. stop for a second. Think if it makes any sense. Go ahead anyway!" (Fortunately, what I was writing was making sense to me most of the time).
I should say, all my UPSC preparation helped me write these papers. After completing mains I just forgot about this exam..
Let APPSC comment on my performance!
