Shishya Pulse — week 38 of 2026 (14–20 Sep 2026)

The week in numbers

Mocks taken: mocks students finished in the week (submitted, or submitted automatically when time ran out). Questions to the AI tutor: messages students sent to the tutor — signed-in students, and guests with a Shishya cookie. Sign-ups: accounts created in the week. The same rules as the live counters on the home page, sliced by week. A count under 20 is shown as "fewer than 20".

The small lines show the 8 weeks 27 Jul–20 Sep 2026; each line's values are in its description for screen readers. No line is drawn when a week had fewer than 20.

Most-taken mocks this week

Mocks finished in the week, by exam. An exam is listed only when at least 20 mocks were taken by at least 10 different students, so the rows do not add up to the week's total. The week before is shown only when that week also met the same rule.

— : that exam did not reach 20 mocks from 10 different students the week before.

By kind of exam

The same week's mocks grouped by the kind of exam. A group with fewer than 20 mocks or 10 students is merged with the next smallest.

Most-practised topics, 24 Aug–20 Sep 2026

Answers students gave in finished mocks over the 4 weeks shown, by topic. A topic is listed only when at least 20 different students answered it. Ranked by answers.

Hardest topics, 24 Aug–20 Sep 2026

Topics with at least 200 answers from at least 20 different students over the same 4 weeks, the lowest share of correct answers first. The table is printed only when at least 3 topics qualify. This is the share of answers that were correct, not a difficulty rating: adaptive mocks give stronger students harder questions.

Fewer than 3 topics reached 200 answers from 20 different students in these weeks, so no topic is called the hardest.

Official exam dates this week

Dates from Shishya's exam trackers that fall in this week and were announced and cited on the conducting body's own website (the tracker's official tier). A row whose own label says expected is left out. Reported and expected dates are on each exam's tracker and in the exam calendar.
