Would you clear CSAT if the exam were tomorrow?
Twelve questions at real UPSC standard — numeracy, reasoning, data interpretation and decision making. At the end you get your score, an honest projection of what you would score out of 200, and the worked method for every question, whether you got it right or not.
Before you start: keep a pen and rough paper. No calculator. Answer every question — in the real paper, a blank is worth the same as a wrong answer minus the penalty, and most people leave marks on the table by not attempting.
Nothing is collected and nothing is sent anywhere. Everything runs inside your own browser.
Your result
The projection assumes you attempt all 80 questions of the real paper at this same accuracy, with the usual one-third negative marking. The qualifying line is 66.67 out of 200. It is an estimate, and moving it is entirely in your hands.
