Just to share a thought. One statistic so conspicuous is that majority of those who have missed out this time had to suffer at the hands of English composition. This not only becomes evident if one follows the posts in this thread, but also by a look at the result available through the fpsc web by giving roll numbers randomly as search criteria. My two cents on this: The precis was easier compared to the last two times. But the paragraph for comprehension (Q2) and expansion (Q3) were a bit tricky. I think those who couldn't make it this time because of this paper should focus on their attempts in these two questions.
