Should you check unofficial keys after UPSC Prelims?

Yes.

That’s our personal opinion.

You may check the answer keys of reputed platforms or coaching institutes even though there may be a lot of variations later.

We recommend this because of the following reasons.

1. It will give you an overall idea regarding your Prelims score. If you compare this with your peers you get to know your relative performance. Based on this, you can decide what step you should take – whether to prepare for Mains this year or take a fresh start for Prelims cum Mains next year.
2. You should bring debatable questions before UPSC in the next 7 days as part of the Representation Process. If nobody refers question paper or key after Prelims, this opportunity will be missed.
3. You may get some clues for Mains examination from the Prelims Question Paper and Key

However, don’t take the unofficial answer keys as final.

Also, don’t lose confidence if you think are at the border line near the possible cut-off score.

Above cut-off:

If you are near or above the cut-off score, start immediately for Mains this year.
