How was JSTSE?

Shout out to all those in Delhi

How was JSTSE?

For those who don't know:

JSTSE is the Junior Science Talent search Examination held for students of Schools in Delhi.

Also, to all those who took NSTSE Level 2, How did it go?

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

I hope it was quite nice.

Even I hope so :)

168.. GK went terribly bad. Rest was pretty smooth except for some silly mistakes that I did in Bio.. BTW I hope u know that the keys are available on FIITJEE NW site, right? :D How much are u expecting? And what about u other Rohinians?

Kshitij Alwadhi - 5 years, 4 months ago

Uh Not very good for many of us

We made a lot of mistakes

I'm getting about 153, Kunal 151, Suvrat 148, Yuvam 165 and Vaibhav; Who'll probably turn out to be the topper: 177 (pr0)

Mehul Arora - 5 years, 4 months ago

Do you know the scores of others?

Mehul Arora - 5 years, 4 months ago

WTH! 177? He will surely get Rank - 1. Shashvat, Rohan and Yuvam all 3 are getting 165 xD. Rachit Bagga also made a lot of mistakes and is expecting around 150. 177?? Seriously? I can't believe it. How the hell did he manage to do that GK??

Moreover, SSK sir said that cut off shall be around 130-140. He accepted that GK was too difficult for a class 9 grader. And he also said that getting marks 168 will surely place u in top 5, which it seems to be impossible after getting to know Vaibhav's marks.

Anyway, we all will surely qualify. So thumbs up..

Kshitij Alwadhi - 5 years, 4 months ago

(Y)

Bro Vaibhav is pr0

P.S.: Please control your language :P

Mehul Arora - 5 years, 4 months ago

@Mehul Arora – Controlled ! :D How much in GK?

Kshitij Alwadhi - 5 years, 4 months ago

@Kshitij Alwadhi – I got 29, Vaibhav 38, Yuvam got 35

Mehul Arora - 5 years, 4 months ago

@Mehul Arora – Well, GK is the reason for that lead, I too got 29. Cheers! :D

Kshitij Alwadhi - 5 years, 4 months ago

@Kshitij Alwadhi – Cheers!

I made silly errors as far as PCMB is concerned. :3

Can you tell me the breakup of your marks?

Mehul Arora - 5 years, 4 months ago

@Mehul Arora – GK : 29/50 Maths : 30/30 Physics : 34/40 ( I know, it went terrible ) Chem : 39/40 Bio : 35/40 (or 36)

What about u?

Kshitij Alwadhi - 5 years, 4 months ago

@Kshitij Alwadhi – Wow that's brilliant

GK: 29/50

Physics: 29/40 (Mine was worse)

Maths 29/30 (Silly error here)

Chem: 34/40

Bio 33/40

Mehul Arora - 5 years, 4 months ago

@Mehul Arora – Nice! I guess Physics screwed us both :p . Theoretical Physics never goes well.

Kshitij Alwadhi - 5 years, 4 months ago

@Kshitij Alwadhi – True that.

It was horrible literally.

The good thing is, All of us will clear the exam. So, Cheers!

Although, There is still time for the official answer key to come out. It may change some answers

Mehul Arora - 5 years, 4 months ago

@Mehul Arora – Yeah! :D Any idea, when the official answer keys be out, and results? And what about results of ManavSthali too?

Kshitij Alwadhi - 5 years, 4 months ago

@Kshitij Alwadhi – I have no idea whatsoever.

Oh, Manav Sthali takes time. It'll be out by July maybe

Mehul Arora - 5 years, 4 months ago

@Mehul Arora – Okay! thanks. :)

Kshitij Alwadhi - 5 years, 4 months ago

@Mehul Arora – No SST? Sad. Then you would have been the topper ;) :3 :3

Nihar Mahajan - 5 years, 4 months ago

@Nihar Mahajan – Oh we have NTSE next year ;)
