IASbaba Daily Prelims Test [Day 10]

Important note– From Monday, number of current affairs questions will increase. Now, you have to start with India Year Book and Economic Survey also. Additionally current affairs questions will be more of Environment, Geography, S&T and Culture since in Prelims also, these sections carry more than 50% of Paper 1. Considering the unpredictable nature of questions, we will try our best to cover all important issues from above subjects.

You still have enough time to selectively and qualitatively cover IYB and Eco Survey.  We will divide chapter wise segments for everyday coverage. However, our policy remains same not to favor quantity over quality. Kindly do not ask for more 🙂

Do give feedback and reviews always. Your participation should be visible to us. Otherwise motivation will be on the negative side. 🙂 Moreover, new visitors will also participate and continuous interactive interface will be there. A lot more innovative initiatives are coming up. Invisible participation will defeat the endless effort of our Team. 

Day wise plan will be posted, probably in the evening in this regard. Best wishes

No Current Affairs today– Start preparing for Monday. It’s a challenge for you people now. Solve the questions on current affairs and honestly put your score in the comment box. Lets see your honest attempts. We are not giving Tests in Quiz format because of three reasons-

1. Lack of time to upload as Quiz since we are not a big team.

2. For many, Quiz acts as a hurdle to attempt  tests. While not giving as Quiz, the visibility is more.

3. For your revision, we are also providing these tests in PDF format. If quiz is there, its triple the work.

P.S- We will try our best to make our initiatives user friendly
