Exam Instructions
- Each question appears for a limited time only. Read options carefully before selecting.
- Once submitted, answers cannot be changed. Avoid random guessing.
- Accuracy is paramount, but in the event of a tie, the candidate with the lower overall response time ranks higher.
- Copy-pasting is strictly prohibited and disabled by the system.
- Switching tabs, opening other windows, or leaving the test screen is strictly prohibited.
- The system utilizes AI to detect unfair activities (suspicious screen activity, tab switching). Malpractice leads to immediate result cancellation.
- Practice exclusively from the Preplap question bank dashboard to mirror exam conditions.
Preparation Strategy
- Focus on improving accuracy before optimizing for speed.
- Attempt mock tests on your dashboard to acclimatize to the timer-based system.
- Avoid rushing while reading. A misunderstood question guarantees a wrong lock.
- Reasoning requires daily practice to spot patterns rapidly.
"Since answers cannot be changed after submission, candidates must stay calm, read carefully, think clearly, and answer confidently."
