Test Guidelines & Rules

Abhipedia recommends candidate to go through following guidelines carefully before appearing for the test.

All questions are MCQ based.
Each correct answer will be awarded marks depending upon the subject ( 2 marks each) and one-third (0.33) of the marks assigned to that question will be deducted as penalty for each Wrong Question. Questions which are not attempted will not attract any penalty.
Your answers will be evaluated just after you click on "Submit Button" or your timer expires. You will get your (i) score-card, (ii) sectional analysis and (iii) ranking right after the test.
If in any circumstances, the candidate is unable to complete the test within the stipulated time, the completed answers will be taken as the final submission for evaluation.
This test is designed to give a fair understanding on exam pattern and hence provide a simulation only. The final score is an indicator of one’s preparation and should not be seen as any benchmark.
You can not clear the Response for the Question once marked

Quick Tip:

You can see the questions in one column format (good for mobile) or two columns format (for desktop users).
You can switch the view just in the beginning, if you switch the view after attempting some of the questions then your marked responses will be cleared and you have to attempt these again.
Although you can repeat the test anytime but the ranking will only be displayed for the first attempt.
