GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
• This test contains 30 MCQ's. For each question only one option is correct. Darken the correct circle/ bubble in the
Response Grid provided on each page.
• You have to evaluate your Response Grids yourself with the help of solutions provided at the end of this book.
• Each correct answer will get you 4 marks and 1 mark shall be deduced for each incorrect answer. No mark will be given/
deducted if no bubble is filled. Keep a timer in front of you and stop immediately at the end of 60 min.
• The sheet follows a particular syllabus. Do not attempt the sheet before you have completed your preparation for that
syllabus.
• After completing the sheet check your answers with the solution booklet and complete the Result Grid. Finally spend time
to analyse your performance and revise the areas which emerge out as weak in your evaluation.
