Statement-based, matched-pair and assertion-reason questions in Prelims format. Timed, with 2 / −0.66 marking and a full solution after every attempt.
The UPSC PIB weekly test series turns the pib published on Current Affairs Pulse into timed, exam-format mock tests. Each set runs on a clock, hides the answers until you submit, and then shows a full score report — marks, accuracy, a subject-wise breakdown and an explanation for every question.
A daily quiz tests what you read that morning, while it is still fresh. A weekly test asks whether you still have it a week later, mixed in with everything else — which is the question the actual exam asks. Attempting one set every weekend turns reading into revision and shows you which subjects quietly fade.
Every question here is written the way UPSC frames them: multi-statement 'which of the statements given above is/are correct', correctly-matched pairs, and assertion-reason. They test mechanism and implication rather than the headline, and the distractors are built so that a candidate who does not know the fact cannot eliminate their way to the answer. UPSC aspirants never see single-line recall questions in these sets.
PIB is the government's own press agency, and it is the single highest-yield source for Prelims: schemes, outlays, ministries, launch dates and the bodies behind them come from the release itself rather than from a news summary. These sets are built only from PIB articles, so nothing in them is second-hand reporting.
UPSC sets follow the Prelims ratio: 2 marks for a correct answer and −0.66 for a wrong one, with no penalty for leaving a question unattempted. That makes the decision of when to guess part of the practice, which is most of what a mock is for.
Yes, for now. These are the premium sets, built from questions held back from the daily quiz, and they are open to everyone for a limited time while the test series is new.
No. Tests run in your browser and your scores are saved on your device, so you can see which sets you have already attempted without signing up.
No — the timer runs like a real exam and submits automatically when it reaches zero. If you reload or close the tab by accident, your answers and remaining time are restored when you come back.
Yes. After you submit, every question shows the correct option, why it is right, and a link to the article the question came from.
A new week's sets are added once that week's articles are all published, usually early the following week.
Yes — 2 marks for a correct answer and −0.66 for a wrong one, matching UPSC Prelims. Unattempted questions cost nothing.
