Specimen paper
Your notes, set as an exam.
Paste a lecture, a chapter, a week of slides. Get questions written the way an examiner would write them — with mark allocations, worked answers, and the note about where students usually lose marks.
University coursework, school subjects, and UPSC Prelims in the Commission’s own question patterns.
What it actually produces
A software release cycle follows this pattern: each month the team fixes bugs from the previous month and introduces new features that create twice as many new bugs. If bₙ denotes bugs at the end of month n, then bₙ = 2bₙ₋₁ + 3 with b₀ = 5. (a) Calculate b₃. (b) Solve the recurrence relation to find a closed form for bₙ.
That is a real, unedited question. We would rather show you one than tell you it works — mark yourself against the worked answer and decide for yourself.
Revision that answers back
Re-reading notes feels productive and mostly isn’t. Being asked a question you can’t answer is what shows you the gap. Drill exists to manufacture that moment on demand, from your own material.
- 1Paste what you're revisingLecture notes, a textbook chapter, the text off your slides. Or name a course and let the examiner set a general paper.
- 2Set the paperChoose the level, how hard it bites, and the question format. The paper changes accordingly — a postgraduate paper reads nothing like a first-year one.
- 3Sit it, then mark yourselfAttempt each question before revealing the worked answer. Tick what you got, flag what you didn't.
- 4Re-sit what you missedOne button rebuilds a paper focused only on the topics you flagged, approached from a different angle. That loop is the whole product.
For UPSC aspirants
Prelims questions that look like Prelims questions
Most tools generate four bland options and call it practice. Drill writes in the Commission’s actual patterns — and the marking note tells you which distractor catches a half-prepared aspirant, and whether the question was worth attempting at all once you account for the 0.667 deduction.
- Consider the following statementswith the standard 1 only / 2 and 3 only / 1, 2 and 3 options
- How many of the above are correctthe newer pattern that defeats elimination
- Assertion and Reasonincluding the both-true-but-unrelated case
- Match the followingwith one plausible but wrong pair
Ten GS subjects from Polity to Environment, each with its syllabus topics one tap away, plus CSAT comprehension, reasoning, numeracy and DI. Paste a Laxmikanth chapter or a current affairs compilation and the paper comes from your own material.
Consider the following statements regarding the Fundamental Rights guaranteed by the Constitution of India:
- 1.Article 14 is available to all persons, including foreigners and legal persons such as companies.
- 2.The rights guaranteed under Article 19 are available only to citizens of India.
- 3.The rights conferred by Articles 20 and 21 may be suspended during the operation of a National Emergency.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
- (a)1 and 2 only
- (b)2 and 3 only
- (c)1 and 3 only
- (d)1, 2 and 3
Questions are generated, so cross-check anything that surprises you against your standard source before you rely on it. Tell us when something is wrong — that is how the paper gets sharper.
Seven levels, and the paper really changes
Not a label on the same questions. Each level carries its own brief for the examiner, so a board-exam paper sets clinical scenarios with tempting distractors while a Year 11 paper signposts its method.
