Why aptitude practice still matters for every state
Whether your commission calls it CSAT, Aptitude, Mental Ability or embeds it inside GS, the core skills stay the same: percentages, ratio, time-work, series, coding-decoding, syllogism, puzzles and data interpretation. A stronger aptitude base raises your qualifying chance and frees revision time for state-specific GS.
Start free practice now: Open CSAT & Aptitude. Timed speed tests use the same 1/4 negative marking common in many prelims.
