Nausheen got AIR 9 this time, in CSE 2023, with history optional.

Nasheen was a part of the LevelUp IAS History Optional test series but she didnt write all the tests.

This is the copy of her test one. It was evaluated by Vishal sir at LevelUp IAS personally.

This is a new series that I am thinking about. Herein we discuss the story behind some important PYQs to improve students' perspective.

This is just an experiment to bring in deeper insight. All comments regarding it's usefulness as well as any suggestion for improvement are most welcome on Youtube. They will help us to decide the future format of the idea.
