Also, in my opinion it is detrimental in another way: Since most of the aspirants think that it is of utmost necessity to attempt all the question and write ‘something’ in ‘all’ the answers (without having any relevance to the question being asked), they actually are not able to do justice to the questions they actually ‘know’ very well. So instead of trying to write something in every answer it is actually far better to write better answers in the questions you know very well. Save the time in these questions and utilise that somewhere else.
