Timing: Single composite 25-minute timer for both sections combined: no sectional lock, matching the official exam's single continuous session.

The official Territorial Army written exam has 100 questions for 100 marks in 2 hours, split as Reasoning (40 questions, 40 marks), General Knowledge (30 questions, 30 marks), and English (30 questions, 30 marks), with one-third (0.33) deducted per wrong answer. There is no Mathematics section in the current exam cycle. This mock covers Reasoning and English only, in the same 40:30 proportion: 21 questions (12 Reasoning, 9 English) in 25 minutes. General Knowledge is not covered, since it depends on current-affairs and general-knowledge facts that carry higher correctness risk for self-authored content.
