Frequently asked questions

Is this an official UPSC question paper?

No. It is an independent practice mock containing original questions mapped to the official UPSC CSAT (General Studies Paper II) syllabus.

Is CSAT divided into separately timed sections?

No. Like the real exam, CSAT uses a single 120-minute timer for the whole paper — there is no sectional lock between Comprehension, Logical Reasoning, Decision Making, Mental Ability, and Numeracy questions.

Does CSAT count towards the final Prelims merit?

No. CSAT (Paper II) is qualifying only — candidates must score at least 33% (66/200) to qualify for the Main Examination. It does not count towards the merit ranking; that is decided by GS Paper I.

Is there negative marking?

Yes. Each question carries 2.5 marks, and a wrong answer deducts one-third (0.833) of a mark. Unattempted questions score zero.

Do I need an account to attempt the mock?

No. You can start immediately without signing up, and the result is stored only on your current device.
