Static & dynamic Potential of Mock test papers (Scoring Potential), Macro & Micro performance Analysis of aspirants, Section wise analysis, Difficulty Analysis, All
India Rank, comparison with toppers, Geographical Analysis, Integrated Score Card, Analysis of Mock Test papers based on difficulty level & nature of questions etc.
HOW IT WORKS: The tests are planned at three different levels of preparation required for a student to succeed in CSE - Prelims.
1. Fundamental level Test 1 to 10: Each test will be based entirely on the most fundamental sources (only 2/3 books) of that particular section. Here we will test whether you
have thoroughly prepared these fundamental sources or not and if you have understood all the basic concepts or not.
2. Applied level - Test 11 to 27: In this level, we will test your subject knowledge at an applied level. Test would be more analytical in nature, application oriented with
relevance to current affairs. These tests would not be restricted to few particular sources and it would cover the entire primary, secondary and other sources.
3. Comprehensive level - Test 28 to 35: These are Full Length Test (FLT) covering all the levels of difficulties and all the types of questions similar to the UPSC prelims paper.
These tests will validate that your preparation is complete and you have achieved that extra edge to succeed in CSE - Prelims.
