This mock scores every question at +1 / −0.25 so you can practise speed on one scale. On the official paper each section is 25 marks, so an English or General Awareness question carries more than a Reasoning question. A score of 90 here is not a score of 100 on the official paper.

Phase I Paper 1 is a screening paper. The companion practice paper is Paper 2 (General stream): 50 questions, 40 minutes, +2 / −0.5.

How to use this PFRDA Grade A Phase 1 Paper 1 mock test

  1. Attempt it timed, in one sitting. A paper done in pieces tells you what you know; a paper done against the clock tells you what you can produce on exam day.
  2. Mark every question you guessed. With negative marking, a guess you cannot justify is worth less than a blank.
  3. Read every solution — including the ones you got right. Answers you reached by luck are the ones that will fail you next time.
  4. Re-drill your weakest section with quick practice, then take the companion paper and compare.
