how you all prepare for DM specifically. Any strategy that consistently gives you 11+ marks?

Seeing that 9.5 DM can get 90 percentile motivates me to not stress over every single question. Accuracy matters more than attempting all.

do you think the slightly lower percentiles in 2024 vs 2025 for same scores reflect a tougher paper or just more aspirants scoring high?

a DM score of 12.5 lands you in 99 percentile multiple years it shows that DM consistency is key rather than just cramming tricks
