BPSC AEDO History Mock Test 2027: Free Online Test Series

Last updated: 14 September 2026
Notice concerning the 2027 examination cycle:
The weight given to the History section in this case is based on the most recent official BPSC AEDO notification patterns as well as on historical trends. It should be noted that specific details, such as the exact exam dates and the number of vacancies, may be changed for the 2027 cycle after the commission issues the official gazette. The page will be updated right away whenever new information is officially released.
Reminder regarding the subject scope of Paper 2:
The content on this page focuses entirely on the History section. If you would like a full breakdown of Paper 2 covering Bihar GK, Geography, Polity, Science, and Current Affairs, then please see our [BPSC AEDO GK Mock Test 2027] guide.

BPSC AEDO History Mock Test 2027: Free Online Test Series and Topic-wise Practice

To prepare for the Assistant Education Development Officer exam organised by the Bihar Public Service Commission, one should draw up a well-considered plan. In the written exam, Paper 2 includes General Studies comprising 100 questions (200 marks). History alone accounts for 25 to 35 questions in Paper 2 тАФ the topic area that carries the greatest weight тАФ and this page looks closely at the specific content that is examined under this subject. Taking our bpsc aedo history mock test 2027 provides you with the practice needed to answer these questions under conditions similar to those of the actual exam. A great many students spend months reading general textbooks without working on questions at the exam level. When they sit for the real test, negative marking causes their scores to drop suddenly. This test series was created to address that problem by providing history tests on a chapter-by-chapter basis as well as full-length tests, together with accurate negative marking.

How This BPSC AEDO History Mock Test Series Was Put Together

Editorial Review

My Name is Subhan Kumar Shah and Fonuder of SarkariMockTest.com 

The subject of History makes up between 25 and 35 of the questions in the BPSC AEDO Paper 2, more so than any other single topic. A significant part of this emphasis is due to Modern History and to Bihar's own struggle for independence. There have been instances where candidates had a good understanding of national history yet still lost marks on questions concerning Bihar, since most study materials regard figures like Kunwar Singh, Champaran, or the Kisan Sabha Movement as minor points rather than as important topics for the exam. In response to this specific gap, our content team has prepared this mock test series. Each test on this page uses the same marking scheme as the actual Paper 2, including the one-third negative marking that you will face on the day of the exam.

History has been divided up into various periodsтАФnamely Ancient India and Bihar, Medieval History, and Modern History with a particular emphasis on Bihar's freedom struggleтАФin order that you may clearly see where the 25 to 35 marks come from.

If you would like to have the complete coverage of Paper 2, with sections on Bihar GK, Geography, Polity, Science, and Current Affairs, then our BPSC AEDO GK Mock Test 2027 guide has that covered separately. The page currently being looked at, however, is all about History since it is the one area that offers the greatest opportunity for scoring marks in the paper.

A great deal of the series can be obtained free of charge. One cannot give any reason why a candidate should be required to pay until they have found out whether their deficiency is due to Ancient India or to the freedom movement in Bihar.

All of the tests on this page have been evaluated on the basis of whether they would actually make a candidate feel more prepared when they sat for the History section of the BPSC AEDO 2027 exam; any test that fails to meet this criterion will not be published.

Why History Is the Deciding Factor in BPSC AEDO Paper 2

Paper 2 includes six different subjects, but they are not all given the same weight; while subjects like Indian Polity or Geography usually have 12 to 16 questions, History has as many as one third of the whole paper.

A rapid increase in your base score will result if you do well in History, but it will be very difficult to make up for losses made here due to carelessness.

Overview of the Distribution of Questions in Paper 2 (Total: 100 Questions)

History Section: 25-35 Questions (Highest Weightage) 30%
General Science: 20-25 Questions 22%
Current Affairs: 18-22 Questions 20%
Indian Polity & Governance: 12-16 Questions 14%
Geography & Environment: 10-14 Questions 12%
Economy & Bihar Development: 8-12 Questions 10%

The breakdown given below shows the distribution of the questions within the History section:

Period Expected Questions (out of 100) Key Focus Topics
Ancient India & Bihar 5 to 7 questions Magadha Empire, Mauryan Dynasty, Ashoka Edicts, Nalanda University, Buddhism and Jainism in Bihar
Medieval History 4 to 6 questions Delhi Sultanate, Mughal Empire, Sher Shah Suri (Sasaram administration)
Modern History & Freedom Struggle 16 to 22 questions 1857 Revolt (Kunwar Singh), Champaran Satyagraha, Non-Cooperation Movement, Quit India Movement, Kisan Sabha Movement

The text below gives a thorough examination of ancient India and the region of Bihar. Since the early history of India is closely connected with Bihar, the section contains a series of questions designed to test your knowledge of political dynasties, architectural achievements, and religious developments.

When it comes to the rise of the Magadha kingdom, you should focus on Bimbisara and Ajatashatru, who were members of the Haryanka dynasty; note the military equipment employed by Ajatashatru, for example the Rathamusala and the Mahashilakantaka, and make sure you understand the transfer of power from the Shishunaga to the Nanda dynasty carried out by Mahapadma Nanda.

With regard to Buddhism, revise the four Buddhist councils, paying particular attention to the First Council which took place at Rajgir (in the Sattapanni Cave under Ajatashatru) and the Third Council held at Pataliputra (under Ashoka); as for Jainism, investigate the life of Lord Mahavira, the moment at which he obtained Kevala Jnana at Jimbhikagrama, and the place of his death, which was Pawapuri.

Study Megasthenes' work, the Indica, and Kautilya's Arthashastra, and focus in particular on the municipal administration of Pataliputra, which was managed by six committees, each made up of five members.

Learn the locations of Ashoka's major Rock Edicts and Pillar Edicts in Bihar, for example those at the pillar at Lauriya Nandangarh, the pillar at Lauriya Areraj, and the bull capital at Rampurva.

With regard to the universities of Nalanda and Vikramshila: it should be noted which rulers founded them (Kumargupta I founded Nalanda and Dharmapala founded Vikramshila), the significant foreign visitors, namely Xuanzang (also known as Hiuen Tsang) and Yijing, and the fact that they were destroyed by Bakhtiyar Khilji in the late 12th century.

Detailed Breakdown: Medieval History and Bihar

Questions on the medieval period often deal with administrative reforms and military campaigns in the area:

  • The expeditions of Bakhtiyar Khilji: the sequence of his attacks on Odantapuri, Nalanda, and Nadia in the later years of the Sena dynasty.
  • The impact of the Tughlaq dynasty is seen in the coins and inscriptions of Mohammad bin Tughlaq and Firoz Shah Tughlaq that have been discovered in Tirhut and Patna.
  • Sher Shah Suri (Farid Khan): The most important subject during the medieval period for the BPSC is this one; you must know the jagir which he originally received at Sasaram, his system of dividing the country into Sarkars and Parganas, his land revenue system which was based on measuring the land (the Zabt system and the Patta/Qabuliyat deeds), the currency reform that introduced the silver Rupiya, and the mausoleum that he constructed in an artificial lake at Sasaram.
  • The province of Bihar under the Mughals: Akbar's military campaign to Bihar in 1574 in order to defeat Daud Khan Karrani, together with Raja Man Singh's tenure as governor and the building of the Rohtasgarh palace complex.
  • The Portuguese were the first to carry on trade in Patna, followed by the Dutch in 1632 (they established their factory at the present site of Patna College), and last of all the English East India Company in 1651; the principal commodity that drew them there was saltpeter (shora).

Detailed Breakdown: Modern History and the Freedom Struggle (Highest Value)

More than half of the questions in Paper 2 are included in this subsection, and as a result of ordinary study materials failing to cover the local leaders and movements in Bihar, candidates lose marks:

  • At Buxar on October 22, 1764, Hector Munro defeated the forces that had been joined together by Mir Qasim, Shuja-ud-Daula and Shah Alam II, and this led to the signing of the Treaty of Allahabad in 1765 under which the British were given the Diwani rights.
  • The 1857 Uprising in Bihar:
    тАв Pir Ali, the bookseller, began the revolt in Patna city on July 3 and killed Dr. Lyell.
    тАв The mutiny of the soldiers from the 7th, 8th, and 40th Regiments took place at the Danapur Cantonment on July 25, 1857.
    тАв Babu Veer Kunwar Singh from Jagdishpur conducted guerrilla warfare in Shahabad, Arrah, Azamgarh, and Rewa; he secured his last victory in April 1858 at the Battle of Jagdishpur against Captain Le Grand, after which his brother, Amar Singh, carried on the campaign in the Kaimur hills.
  • The Champaran Satyagraha (April 1917):
    тАв The Tinkathia system required farmers to grow indigo on three out of every twenty parts of their best land.
    тАв Raj Kumar Shukla went to the 1916 Lucknow Session of the Indian National Congress in order to ask Mahatma Gandhi to go to Champaran.
    тАв The people who went with Gandhi were Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Acharya J.B. Kripalani, Brajkishore Prasad, Anugrah Narayan Sinha and Mahadev Desai.
    тАв The Champaran Agrarian Committee, with Gandhi among its members, got rid of the Tinkathia system and paid back 25 per cent of the rent which had been illegally collected.
  • The Kisan Sabha Movement:
    тАв The organisation was founded by Swami Sahajanand Saraswati, who set up the Bihar Provincial Kisan Sabha (BPKS) at the Sonepur Fair in 1929.
    тАв Karyanand Sharma headed the famous Bakasht Land Movement in Barhiya Tal (in Monghyr) between 1937 and 1939.
    тАв The All India Kisan Sabha was set up in Lucknow in 1936, with Swami Sahajanand serving as its President and N.G. Ranga as General Secretary.
  • The Quit India Movement (August 1942) in Bihar:
    тАв On August 11, 1942, seven young students were killed when they tried to hoist the Tricolor at the Patna Secretariat under the instructions of District Magistrate W.G. Archer.
    тАв Azad Dasta was established by Jayaprakash Narayan (JP) after he had escaped from Hazaribagh Central Jail on the night of Diwali in 1942, and it set up training camps in the Terai area of Nepal in association with Ram Manohar Lohia and Suraj Narayan Singh.
    тАв Parallel governments (Prati Sarkar) were established in certain areas of Saran, Midnapore, and Ballia.

Analysis of Previous Year Questions (PYQ)

A close look at previous BPSC question papers shows a clear tendency for the questions to be based on statements and to test your knowledge of chronology and of particular individuals.

The following chart shows how the style of questions has changed over recent cycles:

The Evolution of Question Style in History (Paper 2)
Direct Factual Questions (Single Liners) тАФ Past Cycles 80%
Direct Factual Questions (Single Liners) тАФ Recent Papers 40%
Chronology & Statement-Based Questions тАФ Past Cycles 20%
Chronology & Statement-Based Questions тАФ Recent Papers 60%

The details below show how the number of questions has been distributed by subject area across recent BPSC exam cycles:

Exam Year Cycle Ancient India & Bihar Medieval History Modern National History Bihar Freedom Movement Total History Questions
Previous Cycle A 6 Questions 5 Questions 10 Questions 8 Questions 29 Questions
Previous Cycle B 5 Questions 4 Questions 12 Questions 10 Questions 31 Questions
Previous Cycle C 7 Questions 6 Questions 9 Questions 11 Questions 33 Questions
2027 Projections 5-7 Questions 4-6 Questions 10-12 Questions 10-12 Questions 25-35 Questions
Key insights from recent trends:
  • When it comes to chronological order, the papers almost always include questions asking candidates to arrange events in sequenceтАФsuch as the Champaran Satyagraha, the Kheda Satyagraha, the Rowlatt Act, and the Non-Cooperation movement.
  • As for the connection with personality, the exams are now placing greater emphasis on the particular roles carried out by deputy leaders in regional movements, for example Rahul Sankrityayan in Chhapra or Rambriksh Benipuri in the field of nationalist journalism.
  • Regarding institutional organisations: The precise years and the places where the various regional organisations (for example, the Bihar Provincial Congress Committee or the Bihar Socialist Party) were founded are often the focus of objective questions.

Features of the BPSC AEDO History Online Test Series

The online practice platform is constructed with the aim of identifying and correcting your weaknesses in knowledge before the day of the exam.

  • Tests specific to a period: Before sitting for full-length papers, you can take exams that concentrate on Ancient India, Medieval India, Modern India, or Bihar Special History.
  • After you have submitted a test, you can view your rank and percentile in comparison with those of thousands of other active candidates in Bihar.
  • Analysis of the time taken per question: This allows you to keep an eye on the length of time you take to answer factual history questions as compared to the top performers, so that you can save some of that time for the numerical sections in other papers.
  • You can switch from Hindi to English with just one click, just like the BPSC examination interface actually does.
  • You can create study streaks, win milestone badges, and set daily revision targets so as to stay on track with your preparation.

AI-powered Weak Area Recommendation feature

One of the most useful features on our platform is the AI-powered Weak Area Recommendation feature. It functions in a way akin to a personal tutor checking over your answer sheet. When you have finished taking a history mock test, the system examines the questions that you answered incorrectly and those that you skipped. For instance, if you continue to fail to answer questions concerning the tribal uprisings in Bihar or the administrative reforms of Sher Shah Suri, the system will highlight those specific sub-topics on your dashboard. It then provides you with direct revision notes and produces a custom 10-question practice set to help you become more competent in those particular topics.

Full video and written explanations

The detailed text explanations that go with each of the questions in our test series go beyond simply stating why a specific option is correct; they also explain why the other three options are incorrect, which allows you to review a number of historical facts from a single question.

Compare your answers with those of top performers

The topper comparison tool lets you see the way the top scorers approach the History section, so that you can discover which questions they chose to leave out, how they allocated their time, and the areas in which they were most accurate.

Analysis of the Competitive Gap: The Limitations of Generic History Question Series

The history questions offered by most national-level test platforms are generic and merely copies of those from the central examinations. These materials usually do not cover the regional focus required for the BPSC exams.

Feature / Area of Coverage Generic Platforms (Testbook, Adda247, Career Power) MockTestCenter BPSC AEDO History Test Series
Depth on the Bihar Freedom Struggle Only a few general questions about Kunwar Singh In-depth question sets covering regional leaders, local committees, and district-level movements

Administration of Sher Shah Suri Basic questions regarding the Grand Trunk Road and his tomb Detailed questions on revenue terms (Patta/Qabuliyat), Sarkars, and judicial reforms
Kisan Sabha and Tribal Uprisings Often mentioned only as minor footnotes Has dedicated question sets on Swami Sahajanand, Barhiya Tal, and the Santhal and Munda rebellions

It should be pointed out that attaining the minimum mark required to pass does not guarantee that a candidate will be selected; it is necessary to score high enough to be included among those chosen in light of the number of posts advertised.

Preparation Strategy: Study Ancient, Medieval, and Modern History Together

It is a mistake to study history in a chronological manner beginning with the Stone Age, and students tend to spend too long on ancient history as a result of which they do not have enough time left for modern movements.

Instead, allocate your study time according to the weightage of each period in the exam:

Weeks 1 to 4: Modern History & Freedom Struggle
60% Study Time
Weeks 5 to 7: Ancient India & Bihar Special
25% Study Time
Weeks 8 to 9: Medieval India & Sher Shah Suri
15% Study Time
Week 10: Full-Length History Mock Tests
Error Log Revision

From Week 1 to Week 4, begin by studying the 1857 revolt in Bihar; you must remember the key dates, the places where the battles occurred, and the roles carried out by Kunwar Singh and Amar Singh. You should thoroughly examine the Champaran Satyagraha, ensuring that you know the names of all the members of the committee as well as those of the local leaders. Prepare timeline charts for the Non-Cooperation Movement, the Civil Disobedience Movement, and the Quit India Movement in Bihar. Take a sectional Modern History test every three days to check your memory.

During weeks 5 through 7, focus on the Magadha Empire, the Mauryan administrative system, and the Ashokan edicts in Bihar; summarise the key teachings, the councils, and the patron kings of both Buddhism and Jainism and take topic-specific tests on Ancient Bihar so as to practise identifying inscription sites and the sequence of the dynasties.

Step 3: Target High-Yield Medieval Topics (Weeks 8 to 9)
Focus your medieval studies on Sher Shah Suri's administrative, currency, and revenue systems.
Study Akbar's conquest of Bihar and Raja Man Singh's governorship.
Practice questions on early European trade factories established in Patna.

Step 4: Full Practice and Error Revision (Week 10)
Take full-length History mock tests under timed conditions.
Maintain an Error Log Notebook to record every date, personality name, or event you confuse. Review this notebook daily.

Best Books for BPSC AEDO History Preparation

Use standard, reliable reference books rather than switching between multiple study guides:

Book Title Author / Publisher Primary Focus Area How to Use Effectively
A Brief History of Modern India Rajiv Ahir (Spectrum) Modern National Movement Read chapters from 1857 to 1947; make timeline summaries of major viceroys and acts.
Bihar Samanya Gyan Dr. Manish Rannjan (Prabhat) or Crown Bihar Specific History Focus on chapters covering ancient Magadha, 1857 in Bihar, Champaran, and the Kisan Sabha.
India's Struggle for Independence Bipan Chandra Analytical Context Read selected chapters for insight into peasant and tribal movements.
NCERT History (Class 11 & 12) NCERT Ancient, Medieval, and Modern Foundations Essential for building clear conceptual timelines and understanding art and culture.
BPSC History Solved Papers Any Standard Publisher Previous Year Questions Practice real questions to understand how BPSC frames options and historical statements.

Common Mistakes Aspirants Make in BPSC AEDO History

Avoid these seven common preparation mistakes:

  • Treating Bihar History as a Footnote: National history textbooks rarely cover leaders like Babu Amar Singh, Pir Ali, Ambika Kant Sinha, or Karyanand Sharma. BPSC tests these local figures regularly.
  • Ignoring Chronological Timelines: Questions frequently require ordering four historical events chronologically. Always note the month and year for major events.
  • Guessing Under Negative Marking: With a 1/3rd mark deduction for incorrect answers, random guessing on four questions can eliminate the score gained from a correct one.
  • Confusing Leaders Across Movements: Make clear flashcards to keep regional leaders, peasant movements, and revolutionary groups distinct.
  • Skipping Peasant and Tribal Uprisings: The Santhal Rebellion, Kol Uprising, Munda Rebellion, and Bakasht movement appear regularly on BPSC exams.
  • Reading Passively Without Testing: Reading a history book multiple times gives an illusion of mastery. Taking mock tests is the only way to build active recall under pressure.
  • Neglecting OMR Practice: Moving too quickly on an OMR sheet can lead to bubbling errors. Always practice full tests using printed answer sheets.

Sample High-Yield Practice Questions with Explanations

Here are three sample practice questions illustrating the question styles used in our test series:

Sample 1: Ancient History
Question: At which of the following locations did the Third Buddhist Council take place during the reign of Mauryan Emperor Ashoka, and who presided over it?
(A) Rajgir тАФ Mahakassapa
(B) Vaishali тАФ Sabakami
(C) Pataliputra тАФ Moggaliputta Tissa
(D) Kundalvana тАФ Vasumitra

Correct Answer: (C) Pataliputra тАФ Moggaliputta Tissa

Explanation:
The Third Buddhist Council was held around 250 BCE at Pataliputra under the patronage of Emperor Ashoka. It was presided over by the monk Moggaliputta Tissa. The council focused on purifying the Sangha and compiled the Kathavatthu, the final section of the Abhidhamma Pitaka.

Sample 2: Medieval History
Question: Under the administrative system of Sher Shah Suri, which of the following terms referred to the written document given to the peasant specifying his landholding and the exact revenue owed to the state?
(A) Qabuliyat
(B) Patta
(C) Dagh
(D) Chehra

Correct Answer: (B) Patta

Explanation:
