How many mock tests should I take for ECGC PO?

There is no fixed number. Take sectional tests while learning, then a full-length mock every week in the last 6 to 8 weeks, and review each one fully before the next.

Do ECGC PO mock tests include negative marking?

Practice in the real marking scheme: one fourth of the marks is deducted for each wrong answer in the objective tests, and unanswered questions are not penalised.

Should I practise the descriptive paper too?

Yes. The descriptive paper carries 40 marks, with an essay and a precis in 40 minutes, so write at least one of each every week in the final phase.

When should I start full-length mock tests?

Start once you have covered the main topics at least once, usually 6 to 8 weeks before the exam, and take one a week at first and more often near the exam.

ECGC PO Mock Test MCQ in Hindi

~~₹499~~₹49

An ECGC PO mock test is the closest practice to the real online examination. The exam has five objective tests with separate time limits, 0.25 negative marking and a descriptive paper, so you need practice in that exact format and not only in topic questions. Mock tests show where your marks are lost, which is usually speed rather than knowledge.

Types of tests and when to take them

Test type	What it covers	When to take it
Topic-wise test	One topic, such as inequalities or data interpretation	While learning a topic
Sectional test	One full test with its real time limit, such as 50 reasoning questions in 40 minutes	From the middle of your preparation
Full-length mock	All five objective tests in the exam sequence, plus the descriptive paper where available	Weekly in the last 6 to 8 weeks
Previous year paper	The real difficulty level of earlier ECGC papers	After finishing the syllabus once

The pattern to practise in

The Generalist objective test has Reasoning Ability (50 questions, 40 minutes), English Language (40, 30 minutes), Computer Knowledge (20, 10 minutes), General Awareness (40, 20 minutes) and Quantitative Aptitude (50, 40 minutes). A descriptive paper of 40 marks follows. Each wrong answer costs one fourth of the marks, and blanks carry no penalty.

How to use mock tests

Start with sectional tests: train each test against its own clock before you attempt a full paper.
Move to full-length mocks in the real sequence: take one every week, then two a week in the final month.
Analyse on the same day: a mock is useful only if you review it while the paper is fresh.
Re-attempt your weak topics: follow a weak mock with topic-wise tests on the topics where you lost marks.

How to analyse a mock

Wrong answers: sort them into concept gaps, careless errors and bad guesses.
Slow questions: note the questions that took more than twice your average time, and check whether a shortcut existed.
Skipped but solvable: these are the cheapest marks to win, so list them every time.
Sectional balance: compare each test to your sectional target, since ECGC applies cut-offs to each test.

Benchmarks to track

Measure	What to look for
Accuracy	Rising, because each wrong answer costs 0.25 marks
Attempts per test	Steady increase without a fall in accuracy
Sectional scores	No test far below your other tests
Time per test	Finishing inside the limit with a few minutes for review

Common mistakes

Taking mocks without review: the score alone teaches little.
Ignoring Computer Knowledge: a 10-minute test with a sectional cut-off should not be left to chance.
Skipping descriptive practice: write at least one essay and one precis a week in 40 minutes.
Chasing attempts over accuracy: guessing widely under negative marking lowers the total.
