What is CSAT Course?

You're performing the CSAT (Civil Services Aptitude Test) incorrectly if you take it for granted. It was developed to evaluate applicants' aptitude, reasoning, and analytical skills. In the Civil Services Prelims exam, the CSAT is a game-changer, hence it requires and deserves equal attention throughout the UPSC test preparation process.Results from the CSAT do not count toward merit because it is a qualifying exam. For the Prelims exam, you must have a passing grade of at least 33%.

The changing nature of the difficulty level of CSAT has surprised many candidates.The CSAT score doesn’t play any role in the final order of merit, but it indirectly impacts the Prelims exam cut-off. The Prelims CSAT test includes a time restriction of two hours and a total of 80 objective-type questions.In the CSAT paper, each question is worth 2.5 points, for a total of 200 points. For wrong replies, a mark is deducted. 1/3 of the total marks assigned to that question are subtracted for each erroneous response. However, if a question is left unattempted/unanswered, no marks will be deducted. Though the paper is qualifying in nature, yet it requires thorough preparation.
