STEP BY STEP LEARNING

FOUNDATION TESTS (10)We know that NCERT books are very important for concept clarity for the test takers and we want

students to take this very seriously. First 10 tests of our test series are based on NCERT books and

current affairs only. In this way all important and relevant topics are covered and the test takers

have a very solid foundation, as far as, the concepts are concerned.

§ LENGTH: All tests (Thematic & Full length) will be of 100 questions and 2 hours duration each. (80

questions in CSAT paper)

§ SIT-DOWN TESTS : Thematic & Full Length Tests (refer to the schedule) will also be conducted in sit-

down format, exactly in the exam like situation, under strict discipline and at fixed timings only. All SIT

DOWN tests will be conducted at Rau's IAS campuses at NEW DELHI, JAIPUR and BENGALURU.

§ ONLINE TESTS: All tests (Foundation, Thematic & FLT’s) will be available online. The candidate may

appear for online test at any time after the tests are released (refer to the schedule).

§ FLEXIBILITY: All tests can be taken ONLINE from anywhere and at any time in accordance with an

individuals schedule and preparation. However, for maximum benefit, it is suggested to complete one

1THEMATIC TESTS (10)Once we have completed the foundation, then we can go for thematic tests (A total of 10 tests),

which covers all reference books with thematic linkages of relevant current affairs. Now theme-based

test will cover two or more themes so that the test takers start preparing themselves for the full-length

tests. This also helps the test takers develop command over multiple topics and attempt test at a

regular interval and gain knowledge and command in those topics where we identify any problem.

3FULL LENGTH TESTS : GS (10) + CSAT (5) + BONUS TEST (2)

After the completion of the foundation and the thematic tests, a test taker is ready for the actual tests.
