About the PrepAngel SSC CGL mock test series
PrepAngel's SSC CGL test series is built almost entirely out of real papers. The catalogue runs to 111 full-length Tier-1 papers and 183 single-section sectional papers — the 2025 shifts, the 2024 and 2023 shifts before them, and mixed sets from earlier years — plus the PrepAngel Special Series, a small set of original papers written to sit at the harder end of what SSC actually asks.
Every full-length paper follows the current Tier-1 pattern exactly: 100 questions worth 200 marks in 60 minutes — 15 minutes each for General Intelligence & Reasoning, General Awareness, Quantitative Aptitude and English Comprehension, with +2 for a correct answer and −0.5 for a wrong one. The test player is modelled on the TCS interface SSC uses — the same five-state question palette, the same section switcher, the same countdown that auto-submits when it hits zero — so the interface is not the thing that surprises you on exam day.
Starting a paper takes a one-tap Google sign-in — there is no form to fill and no payment step for the free papers — which is what lets every attempt, score and analysis be saved to your account and compared against the next one. Selected papers can also be attempted in Hindi, chosen on the instructions screen before the timer starts.

What you get in the test series
- Real papers, not imitations. Nearly every paper is an actual SSC CGL Tier-1 shift, question for question, rather than a set written to look like one.
- The exam interface. A TCS-style player with the five-state question palette, section switcher, mark-for-review and a timer that auto-submits at zero.
- Sectional papers. Each shift is also split into four 25-question, 15-minute sectionals for the days you only have a quarter of an hour.
- Solutions for every question. Worked solutions, with the shortcut where one exists — the method matters more than the answer key.
- Save and resume. Leave a paper mid-attempt and pick it up on another device; progress and analytics are tied to your account, not the browser.
- One-tap sign-in. Sign in with Google to start a paper — no form to fill, and every attempt is then saved to your account for later comparison.
SSC CGL Tier-1 exam pattern 2026
Tier-1 is a 60-minute computer-based test of 100 objective questions worth 200 marks, divided into four sections of 25 questions each. The time is sectional: 15 minutes per section, taken in a fixed order, and a section locks once its 15 minutes are gone — you cannot bank time from an easy section or return to one you rushed. Every wrong answer costs 0.5 marks, so a blind guess gives back a quarter of what a correct answer earns, while skipped questions cost nothing.
| Section | Qs | Marks | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| General Intelligence & Reasoning | 25 | 50 | 15 min |
| General Awareness | 25 | 50 | 15 min |
| Quantitative Aptitude | 25 | 50 | 15 min |
| English Comprehension | 25 | 50 | 15 min |
| Total | 100 | 200 | 60 min |
Tier-1 is a shortlisting stage — its marks do not carry into the final merit list, which is built from Tier-2. The full Tier-2 breakdown, qualifying marks and merit calculation are on the SSC CGL exam pattern page, and the topic-level split is in the syllabus.
How to attempt a mock test on PrepAngel
- 1 Pick a collection above — a year, or the PrepAngel Special Series — and choose a paper from the list.
- 2 Sign in with Google when prompted — one tap, no form — so the attempt is saved against your account.
- 3 Read the instructions screen: it shows the marking scheme, the question count and, where the paper has been translated, the language choice.
- 4 Start the timer. You get 15 minutes for each section, taken in order — when a section’s time runs out it locks and the next one opens, exactly as it does in the real exam.
- 5 Submit, or let the timer submit for you. An unfinished paper is saved, so you can resume the same attempt later instead of starting over.
- 6 Open the analysis: section-wise accuracy, time spent per section, and the full solution for every question you got wrong.
How to use them through your prep
Start with a recent year to see where you actually stand, then work backwards. Treat the first few as diagnostics rather than practice — the score matters less than seeing which section drains your clock. Once you know that, the fix is rarely "more mocks": it is targeted work on the two or three topics eating your time, then a re-test to confirm the time came down. A sensible rhythm in the last two months is one full-length paper a week under strict timing, sectionals on the days between, and speed sprints for the calculation habits that decide how many questions you even reach.
What the analysis shows after each attempt
Every submitted attempt gets a section-wise breakdown — correct, wrong, skipped and time spent in each of the four sections — alongside the full solution for every question, so you can see not just what you got wrong but what the intended method was. Attempts are saved to your account, so the second attempt at the same paper is compared against the first rather than read in isolation.
Elite adds the comparative layer: your percentile and rank against everyone else who attempted the same paper, your weakest topics ranked by marks lost, and a per-question speed breakdown that separates the questions you got right quickly from the ones you got right slowly — usually the more useful of the two.
Free mock tests vs Elite Pass
The first three mock attempts are free, and several papers stay free permanently — enough to judge whether the papers and the interface are worth your time before paying anything. No card details are asked for at sign-up; a Google sign-in is all it takes to start.
Elite Pass is a one-time ₹199 payment covering three months, with no auto-renewal and nothing to cancel. It opens every paper in the catalogue, the percentile and weak-topic analysis above, and a higher monthly quota on the AI coach. Details are on the pricing page.
Why attempt SSC CGL mock tests at all
- Tier-1 is a speed test disguised as a knowledge test. Most candidates can solve most questions given time; almost nobody has the time. A timed paper is the only honest measure of how many you actually reach.
- It shows where your clock goes. The section that costs you the paper is usually not the section you feel worst about — a per-section time split settles the argument.
- Negative marking rewards discipline. Guessing patterns are habits, and habits only show up under a timer. Mocks are where you find out what your guessing actually costs you.
- Previous-year papers repeat their shapes. SSC reuses question templates far more than it reuses questions. Working through past shifts is the cheapest way to learn the templates.
SSC CGL mock test FAQs
Are the PrepAngel SSC CGL mock tests free?
Your first three mock attempts are free, and several papers stay free permanently. All you need is a Google sign-in — no card details. Elite Pass, a one-time ₹199 payment covering three months, opens the rest of the catalogue.
How many SSC CGL mock tests are available?
111 full-length Tier-1 papers and 183 single-section sectional papers, covering the 2025, 2024 and 2023 shifts, mixed sets from earlier years, and the original PrepAngel Special Series papers.
Are these mock tests based on previous year papers?
Almost all of them are the actual SSC CGL Tier-1 shifts, question for question. The exceptions are the PrepAngel Special Series, which are original papers written to the same pattern at a deliberately harder level.
Do I need an account to attempt a mock test?
Yes — you sign in with Google before starting a paper. It takes one tap, there is no form and no payment step, and signing in is what lets your attempts, scores and analysis be saved and compared across devices.
Is there sectional timing in the SSC CGL Tier-1 exam?
Yes. Each of the four sections is timed at 15 minutes and locks when that time is up, so you cannot carry spare time into the next section or go back to an earlier one. The full-length mocks here enforce the same 15-minute section timer, which is why a paper that feels comfortable untimed can still run out from under you.
What is the marking scheme?
Tier-1 awards +2 for a correct answer and deducts 0.5 for a wrong one. Unattempted questions neither earn nor cost marks, so a question you cannot narrow down at all is better left alone.
Can I attempt the same mock test more than once?
Yes. Each attempt is stored separately, so a re-attempt is compared against your earlier one rather than replacing it. Note that a re-attempt uses one of your free mock slots if you are on the free tier.
Are the mock tests available in Hindi?
Selected papers have been translated and can be attempted in Hindi; the language choice appears on the instructions screen before the timer starts. Papers without a translation are English-only.
What do I get after submitting a mock test?
A section-wise breakdown of correct, wrong and skipped questions with the time spent in each section, plus worked solutions for every question. Elite adds your percentile and rank against other candidates on the same paper, your weakest topics by marks lost, and a per-question speed breakdown.
How many mock tests should I attempt before the exam?
Quality beats volume: roughly one full-length paper a week under strict timing, with sectionals in between and a review of every wrong answer, does more than three papers a week you never analyse.
