General study
last year general study paper was more focussed on economy,geography and enviornment questions this year UPSC adopted a more balanced approach and questions from history ,polity and general science were asked in plenty;lot of people start saying that history and polity loosing there colors in this exam .but this year paper stressed more on these subjects.this paper seems quiet easy in first view but when you go for answers then due to the presence of multiple answers in most of the questions it hamper the simple nature of exam .here is complete analysis of the topics of exam:

G.K | 14 | 28 |

CSAT
CSAT was quite easy, although lengthy.there were only 3-4 questions of mathematics .many students prepared hard for the maths ,but this was complete shock for them.but overall due to the presence of logical reasoning questions ,decision making(no body can be 100% sure which ans is right),10 smalll english comprehension this paper was easy and scoring tooExpected Prelims 2012 Cut Off
i think most of the people guessing that the cut off will be more then 220 but i think it will be n 80+115=195marks out of 400. In fact, I predict the cut-off marks will be in the range of 190-205 marks simply because of the easy nature of paper 2 and tricky answer of paper 1.so, friends share your experience of your exam and your idea about cut off.
It totally depend on your grasp on language whether you are good in english or hindi.I firstly want to know whether you are novice to IAS exam or you are familiar with it.
