“Mock tests help me evaluate my knowledge-wise and help me eliminate the options that are not known to me. The more you practice, the better clarity you can get on any topic.” - Nidhi Siwach - IAS 

Preparing for the UPSC Prelims demands not just hard work but the right strategy, smart testing, and consistent practice. With increasing competition and evolving exam patterns, a high-quality test series becomes your most powerful tool to assess, improve, and succeed. That's where EduRev steps in — offering a well-researched, topper-backed test series that helps you stay focused, track your performance, and master both static subjects and current affairs.

Why Choose EduRev Test Series?

If you're looking for a test series that matches the level of the UPSC exam while keeping your preparation structured and stress-free, EduRev’s Prelims Test Series is the right choice. It offers complete, smart, and flexible preparation by covering the entire syllabus in every subject-wise test, allowing you to revise faster and build a deeper understanding.

Our team has mentored thousands of students in the last 3-years, including Anudeep Durishetty (IAS, AIR 1) , Monica Kishore (IAS, AIR 41), Swati Sharma (IAS, AIR 18), and one thing that was common among all the toppers is the strategy that they had to prepare for the exam. So, keeping that in mind, we've curated All India Mock Test Series considering the latest events and weightage of different topics as per the recent exam trends. 

A mock test is a practice test that can help you evaluate the knowledge that you have gained in your preparation. While knowledge can be developed by reading standard books, the latter are problem-solving skills, elimination skills, and decision-making with practicing previous year papers and solving high-quality mock test papers.
