How to Prepare for UPSC CSAT with Mock Tests
The Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) is Paper II of the UPSC Prelims and serves as a qualifying paper with a minimum cutoff of 33%. While many aspirants underestimate it, a strong CSAT score provides crucial confidence and allows you to focus entirely on GS Paper I preparation in the final weeks.
Why mock tests matter for CSAT: Unlike General Studies, CSAT tests your reasoning, comprehension, and quantitative ability — skills that improve dramatically with timed practice. Research shows that students who take at least 15-20 timed mock tests before the exam score 20-30% higher than those who only study theory.
Our approach: Each CSAT mock test on UPSC HUB is designed to mirror the actual exam — 80 questions in 120 minutes covering reading comprehension, logical reasoning, analytical ability, data interpretation, and basic numeracy. After each test, you get a detailed breakdown of accuracy by topic, time spent per question, and comparisons with other aspirants.
Recommended strategy: Start with 2 mocks per week, focusing on identifying your weakest CSAT areas. Use the analytics dashboard to track improvement. In the final month before prelims, increase to 1 mock every other day. Pair mock tests with our AI mind maps for quick topic revision.
