Here are few observations :

• I have been improving my percentage of marks in Essay, General studies and Mathematics across the years.
• One pattern is the decreasing tend of marks in Geography. Especially in the first paper of Geography. This shows lack of knowledge and organisation in that perticular paper.
• In Essay , there is little scope for further improvement. More over, I will be tougher to even maintain that level of marks.
• Mathematics and General studies - has to improve atleast about 10% in each one of these subjects.
