CSAT
CSATTEST SERIES
PRELIMS PAPER II
CSAT is a qualifying paper, but it decides whether your General Studies Paper I is even evaluated.
Our CSAT Test Series gives you regular, exam-level practice across every area of the Paper II syllabus, with solutions and analysis that show where your marks are being lost.
The syllabus is organised into three areas — Reading and Communication, Reasoning and Decision-Making, and Numeracy and Data — so that practice builds step by step from understanding to speed and accuracy.
Read Carefully. Understand Fully. Answer Accurately.
Passage-based questions reward careful reading more than speed. This area tests how well you understand, interpret and respond to what is given.
The CSAT syllabus covers:
- Comprehension
- English language comprehension (Class X level)
- Interpersonal skills, including communication skills
Questions commonly test:
- Main idea and inference
- Assumptions
- Meaning in context
- Situation-based judgement
English comprehension passages are set in English only, with no Hindi translation.
Think Clearly. Reason Logically. Decide Wisely.
These questions test how you reason through a new situation with the information given, not what you have memorised.
The CSAT syllabus covers:
- Logical reasoning and analytical ability
- General mental ability
- Decision-making and problem-solving
Questions commonly test:
- Statements and conclusions
- Syllogisms
- Series and coding-decoding
- Arrangements and puzzles
- Directions
- Blood relations
- Clocks and calendars
The emphasis is on solving by method, not by guesswork.

- Numbers and their relations
- Orders of magnitude
- Percentages
- Ratio and proportion
- Averages
- Time, speed and distance
