Mock tests

UPSC Prelims mock tests and test series

Mock tests show you where you actually stand. Our Prelims test series covers the whole paper in 65 tests, from topic-wise General Studies and CSAT to current affairs and full-length mocks, with a faculty discussion after every test.

What is in the 65-test series

Every part of the Prelims paper is covered, from subject-wise tests to full-length mocks: 35 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 65 tests.

Tests that teach, not just score

How our test series works

Discussion after every test
We go through each test with a faculty member and connect the concepts behind every answer, so a wrong answer becomes a lesson.
One series for the whole Prelims
GS, CSAT, current affairs and mocks are planned together, so you do not have to piece tests together from different places.
Online or offline
Write the tests in Anna Nagar or from home, and switch your plan with our team if your situation changes.
Mind-mapping and feedback
After the discussion you get mind maps that link the topics tested, which are quick to revise before the exam.

How to get the most from mock tests

  • Take every mock in exam conditions: same time slot, no phone, no breaks, and the real timing.
  • Spend as long reviewing a test as you spent writing it. The learning is in the review.
  • Keep an error log with three columns: what you got wrong, why, and the fact or rule to remember.
  • Learn to guess smartly. In Prelims, eliminating two options is often enough to make a guess worthwhile.
  • Do not chase the score early. Trend matters: you want a steady rise across the series.
  • In the last month, write full-length mocks and revise your error log instead of starting new books.
