Free practice series
HP PAT Mock Test 2026
A free HP PAT mock test series for first-year Polytechnic diploma admission. The paper runs 150 questions in 180 minutes for 600 marks, across Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and English. Every HP PAT online test here is free to attempt and returns a section-wise result the moment you submit.
This is a Class 10 entrance, not a Class 12 one, and the syllabus level follows from that: HP PAT admits candidates to first-year Polytechnic diploma courses after Class 10, so material pitched at a 10+2 engineering entrance is above what the paper asks. Mathematics and Physics are the heavy sections at 50 questions each, with Chemistry at 30 and English at 20. Every question is worth 4 marks and a wrong answer costs 1, putting break-even at one in five, so guessing pays once you can rule out a single option. With 180 minutes for 150 questions you have 72 seconds each.

How many HP PAT mock tests are available here?
This page currently has 5 syllabus-checked tests for HP PAT: 1 full-length mock, and 4 sectional tests.
Are these HP PAT tests based on the official pattern?
Yes. Every checked HP PAT test matches the official pattern's question count, marks, duration and negative marking, and the source document is linked with the date it was last read. For the paper, that is 150 questions for 600 marks in 180 minutes.
How long does a HP PAT mock test take?
A full-length HP PAT mock here runs 180 minutes, matching the official working time for the paper it reproduces. The timer starts when you begin and the test submits itself when time runs out, so it is worth starting one only when you can sit it through. The shorter tests on this page run from 24 minutes, for when you do not have a full sitting free.
Do these HP PAT mock tests have negative marking?
Yes. Every HP PAT test here deducts 1 mark for a wrong answer and scores an unanswered question zero, the same as the official scheme it is checked against. Your result breaks out what the deduction cost you, so you can see whether guessing helped or hurt.
Should I start with a full-length HP PAT mock or a sectional test?
Start with a full-length mock if you have not sat the whole HP PAT paper under its official timer before: it is the only thing here that tells you whether you can finish in time. Move to the 4 sectional tests once the full mock has shown you which section is costing you marks, and use them to rebuild that one section rather than re-sitting the whole paper each time.
Are these HP PAT mock tests free?
Yes. All 5 HP PAT tests on this page are free to attempt, with no account and no paid tier holding back better questions.
