Shishya's practice papers
Two full papers of 100 questions in 60 minutes, in the official sections and counts (General Intelligence 25, General Awareness 25, Quantitative Aptitude 25, English Language 25). The questions are Shishya's own practice questions — drafted with AI, then read and answer-checked in review — not questions from any past SSC Selection Post paper. The subject tests and topic quizzes on this page use the same questions.
- Paper 1 is written at the Matriculation level and Paper 2 at the Graduation & above level, each with the official sections and counts. There is no separate Higher Secondary paper yet.
- The real exam has a 15-minute timer for each part; Shishya's player gives the 60 minutes as one block.
- Figure-based reasoning (non-verbal series, spatial visualisation, figure classification) cannot be drawn in Shishya's player, so those questions are replaced by text-based reasoning.
- General awareness here is static (history, geography, polity, economy, science, sports). There are no current-affairs questions, because those go out of date; read the news for that part.
