CCE PYQs (GS-II) Mock Tests

The General Studies Paper II, commonly known as CSAT (Civil Services Aptitude Test), is the second paper of the APSC CCE Prelims and is qualifying in nature — candidates must score a minimum of 33% (approximately 66 marks out of 200) to remain eligible, though the marks are not counted towards the Prelims merit. Despite being qualifying, many candidates fail to clear this threshold every year, which means their GS Paper I score becomes irrelevant regardless of how well they performed. At AssamTest.com, we have converted the actual APSC CCE Prelims General Studies Paper II questions from the 2022, 2023, and 2024 examinations into fully interactive online mock tests, allowing you to practice with real questions in a timed exam environment. With recent trends showing that the CSAT difficulty level has been increasing, treating this paper casually is no longer an option — practicing with actual previous year papers is the surest way to ensure you comfortably clear the qualifying mark and keep your Prelims attempt alive.

The APSC CCE Prelims GS Paper II carries 200 marks with objective-type multiple-choice questions to be completed in 2 hours. The paper tests candidates on Comprehension, Interpersonal Skills including Communication Skills, Logical Reasoning and Analytical Ability, Decision Making and Problem Solving, General Mental Ability, Basic Numeracy covering numbers and their relations, orders of magnitude, and data interpretation including charts, graphs, tables, and data sufficiency at the Class X level. Unlike GS Paper I which relies heavily on knowledge and memory, CSAT is a skill-based paper that tests how you think, reason, and interpret information. By attempting the 2022, 2023, and 2024 papers as online mock tests, you can observe how the comprehension passage complexity has evolved, what types of reasoning and analytical questions are being asked, and how the numeracy and data interpretation sections have changed in difficulty across years. This trend analysis helps you calibrate your preparation and allocate the right amount of practice time to each section.

At AssamTest.com, each CSAT PYQ mock test replicates the original exam conditions with the correct number of questions, 2-hour time limit, and negative marking of 0.25 marks per wrong answer. After completing each test, you receive instant results with detailed performance analysis showing your overall score, section-wise accuracy across comprehension, reasoning, numeracy, and data interpretation, and time spent per question. This helps you identify whether your weakness lies in reading comprehension speed, logical reasoning accuracy, mathematical calculations, or data interpretation skills — so you can address the exact gaps before the actual exam. Many candidates who scored well in GS Paper I have lost their APSC CCE attempt solely because they underestimated CSAT, and practicing these previous year papers is the most practical way to ensure that does not happen to you. Attempt all three years of APSC CCE Prelims GS-II CSAT papers at AssamTest.com and build the confidence to clear the qualifying threshold comfortably while saving your preparation focus for the merit-determining GS Paper I.
