MPPSC Subject-wise Online Practice
Dates, vacancies and fees can change. Always confirm on the official MPPSC website before you apply.
Reading the syllabus is not the same as being ready for it. The MPPSC prelims paper (General Studies Paper I has 100 questions for 200 marks in 2 hours) rewards candidates who have answered thousands of questions and learned from their mistakes. This page maps every prelims subject to free practice pages on LearnFrenzy, so you can practise topic by topic with explanations.
How to use this page: pick one subject a day, finish 30–50 questions on it, read every explanation (even for the questions you got right) and note the facts you did not know. Once a week, take the timed MPPSC Madhya Pradesh GK Test or the MPPSC Prelims Mock Test.
Subject-wise practice map
The share column is an approximate guide from recent papers. It changes from year to year, so treat it as a planning aid, not a promise.

Madhya Pradesh GK: the subject that decides the merit list
Most candidates prepare national General Studies the same way, so the questions on Madhya Pradesh are often what separates the selected from the rest. Practise them separately:
- Take the MPPSC Madhya Pradesh GK Test – 25 timed questions on the state's history, geography, economy, culture and administration, each with an explanation.
- Keep a one-page note for Madhya Pradesh: districts and divisions, rivers and dams, national parks, famous personalities, festivals, folk art and the state's flagship schemes.
- Read the state budget and economic survey highlights every year – figures from them are asked directly.
CSAT / aptitude paper
Paper II (General Aptitude Test) has 100 questions for 200 marks and is qualifying – 40% for general candidates and 30% for reserved categories of Madhya Pradesh. Do not skip it: every year some candidates with a good General Studies score are eliminated because they missed the qualifying mark in the aptitude paper.
- Quantitative Aptitude – percentage, ratio, averages, time & work, speed & distance, interest
- Data Interpretation – tables, bar and pie charts
- Verbal Reasoning – series, coding-decoding, blood relations, direction sense
- Logical Reasoning – statements and conclusions, syllogisms
- Reading Comprehension – passages with inference questions

How to review your mistakes
- Sort every wrong answer into one of three types: did not know the fact, knew it but misread the question, or guessed.
- Write facts you did not know in a short notebook by subject – revise it every Sunday.
- For misreads, slow down on words such as "not", "incorrect" and "only" – they cost more marks than difficult questions do.
- For guesses, track how often an educated guess (after removing two options) was right. That tells you how much risk to take in the real exam, where wrong answers cost nothing (there is no negative marking).
MPPSC tip: With no negative marking in the MPPSC prelims, never leave a question blank. Spend your practice time on breadth – MP GK, tribes of MP and current affairs – because every extra fact you know is a free mark.
