US SIMULATOR 2 Question Paper

The 2nd GS Simulator Test
I hope you find it helpful
Answer Key will be uploaded tomorrow.

For feedback, or reporting any issues, you can reach out to me at usstudenthelpline@gmail.com

Thanks to the developing team and the reviewing team including various rankers, fellow aspirants and students who put in honest efforts n feedback.

Though we have finalised the CSAT simulator also, but for now we have decided not to provide it to students because even minute changes from the UPSC pattern might hit the confidence of my students and i can't take that risk. Not even on myself.

So practice the PYQs that have been provided for csat on the application. Solve them all. And you will have enough to practice and to adjust to the mindset ✅

Please don't miss these instructions

1. Please note that entry into the Examination Venue shall be closed 30 minutes before the schedule commencement of the Examination i.e. 09:00 AM for the Forenoon Session and 02:00 PM for the Afternoon Session. No candidate shall be allowed the entry into the Examination Venue after closure of the entry.

2. Use of normal or simple wrist watches by candidates is allowed inside the Examination Rooms/ Halls. However, use of watches fitted with any special accessory that might be used as a communication device or smart watches is strictly prohibited and candidates are not allowed to take such watches into the Examination Rooms/ Halls.

This 2nd instruction is extremely important. You can even carry a printout of the instructions and show it to the authorities at your centre if they deny you to carry a watch inside the premises.

Baaki, no need to panic. You are prepared for this. Be extremely confident. Watch the initial ten minutes of the IR revision session posted this morning. You'll be in the right mindset for the exam in these last 10 days.

One of the best lines that I have come across in the recent past.
Download the video, listen to these 2 lines. Then read below.

One week.

You asked for patience, God gave you the patience to hold on, till this attempt.
You asked for courage, God gave you the courage to wakeup daily and prepare.
You asked for success. This is your opportunity to succeed, my dear friends, brothers, sisters and students.

The tough part is to persist in the journey and prepare. You have already done the tough part.
Now all you need is to hold your nerves this last week.
To hold your confidence in this last week.

Promise me that you'll be confident this week.
Promise me that you won't giveup this week.
Promise me that you will have top class belief in your own abilities, in your-own-self!!

तेरे इरादों के सामने न कुछ बड़ा है,
तेरे हौसले ने जीत का परचम बुना है,
सूरज ना चमका हो काली रात के बाद
क्या तुमने कभी ऐसा सुना है?
होगा उजाला तू ना खो आत्मविश्वास,
ये कठिन रास्ता जीत का आखिर तेरा चुना है।।
- Satyam Jain, @UnderStandUPSC
