BSSC CGL 4 Mock Test 2027: Free Online Test Series
The fourth Graduate Level Combined Competitive Preliminary Examination conducted by the Bihar Staff Selection Commission is carried out with the aim of selecting officers for a number of distinguished state posts, such as Secretariat Assistant (Sahayak Prashakha Padadhikari or Assistant Section Officer / ASO) and Planning Assistant.
The written preliminary exam includes 150 objective multiple-choice questions summing to 600 marks and candidates are given 2 hours and 15 minutes (135 minutes) to complete the paper. Each correct answer awards +4 marks while an incorrect one leads to a deduction of 1 mark. The test is offered in two languages, Hindi and English. BSSC allows candidates to bring three reference textbooks into the examination room. However, since there are only 54 seconds per question, opening the books during the exam often causes candidates to finish the paper too late.
The 2027 series of BSSC CGL 4 Mock Tests enables you to become accustomed to the strict time limits by letting you practice answering 150 questions in the subjects of General Studies, General Science, Mathematics, and Mental Ability without needing to refer to any books, so that you can compare your scores with the category cutoffs and download printable OMR sheets for use when doing pen-and-paper practice.

SECTION 4: Exam Pattern and Marking Scheme for the BSSC CGL 4 Preliminary Examination (2027)
The preliminary exam comprises a single combined paper which is divided into three separate sections:
| Section | Subject Areas | Number of Questions | Maximum Marks | Marks for a Correct Answer | Penalty for an Incorrect Answer | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | General Studies (including History, Geography, Polity, Bihar-specific General Knowledge and Current Affairs) | 50 questions | 200 marks | +4 marks | -1 mark | Composite |
| B | General Science and Mathematics (based on Class 10 NCERT Physics, Chemistry and Biology plus Arithmetic) | 50 questions | 200 marks | +4 marks | -1 mark | Composite |
| C | Mental Ability Test (covering Comprehension, Logical Reasoning, Non-Verbal Questions and Patterns) | 50 questions | 200 marks | +4 marks | -1 mark | Composite |
| Total | Combined Preliminary Examination | 150 questions | 600 marks | +4 marks | -1 mark | 135 minutes (2 hours 15 minutes) |
Section 1: General Studies and Bihar-specific General Knowledge (50 Questions – 200 Marks)
One-third of the total marks is made up by this section, and it covers subjects including national history, geography, economics, Indian polity, and the Constitution.
A large portion of this section deals with knowledge relating to Bihar, and candidates should study the ancient dynasties that were based in Magadha, Bihar's role in the 1857 revolt, the Champaran Satyagraha, the state's geography, its river drainage systems, and the Bihar Panchayati Raj Act.
The section with these 50 questions involves no mathematical calculations and merely tests factual recall, so you should attempt to complete it within a time frame of 35 to 40 minutes.
Section 2: General Science and Mathematics (50 Questions – 200 Marks)
Section B includes two subjects, each with about 25 questions:
- The General Science section (~25 questions – 100 marks) covers scientific topics from the Class 9 and 10 NCERT textbooks in the subjects of Physics, Chemistry and Biology and includes questions on everyday scientific principles, chemical formulas, human anatomy and common diseases.
- Mathematics (~25 Questions – 100 Marks): This section tests arithmetic in accordance with the syllabus for the 10th standard, the topics included being percentages, averages, profit and loss, ratios, simple and compound interest, time and work, speed and distance, and basic mensuration.
Section 3: Comprehension, Mental Ability and Reasoning (50 Questions – 200 Marks)
The Mental Ability section contains 50 questions worth a total of 200 marks and is generally the part in which candidates who have properly prepared obtain the highest scores.
This section contains questions on logical deduction, number series, analogies, coding and decoding, blood relationships, direction tests, Venn diagrams, syllogisms, and non-verbal reasoning; if you practice every day you will be able to work through these 50 questions in 45 minutes and still maintain a high degree of accuracy.
Negative Marking Formula (+4 for a Correct Answer, -1 for an Incorrect Answer)
The BSSC follows a standard one-fourth penalty system:
- For each question answered correctly you receive +4.00 marks.
- For each wrong answer, one point is deducted (-1.00 mark).
- Questions which are not attempted are awarded 0.00 marks and are not subjected to any penalty.
It would be advisable to avoid making wild guesses when dealing with questions of which you are not familiar; you should only attempt questions that are doubtful if you are able to eliminate at least two of the options with complete certainty.
SECTION 5: The 'Open Book Exam' Reality: Rules, Allowed Textbooks & The Time Trap
One of the most notable characteristics of the BSSC CGL Preliminary Examination is that it is an open book exam. Yet, many candidates misinterpret this rule and end up failing as a result.
Prohibited Devices : Mobile phones, smartwatches, calculators, and electronic devices
The exchange of books within the hall is strictly prohibited.
Permitted Textbooks Guidelines (NCERT / BSEB / ICSE Board Rules)
The rules concerning the textbooks that are allowed (as set out by NCERT / BSEB / ICSE Board regulations) permit BSSC candidates to take up to three printed textbooks into the examination room: one textbook for General Studies, and this must be a standard NCERT or BSEB book on History, Geography or Civics; one textbook on Science, which has to be a standard NCERT or BSEB General Science textbook suitable for Class 9 or 10; and one textbook in Mathematics, which should be a standard NCERT or BSEB Mathematics textbook for Class 9 or 10. It is strictly forbidden to bring guidebooks, manuals prepared for competitive exams, solved question banks, and loose notes. If, when the invigilators check all the books at the entrance, any candidate is found to be carrying unauthorized notes, he or she may be disqualified.
Why flipping books in the exam hall leads to disqualification (the 54-second rule)
Many candidates tell themselves that "if books are permitted then there is no need for me to memorise facts or practice math formulae."
That way of thinking is incorrect; here's why, since the mathematics involved in the exam timetable make it so:
Total Questions : 150 Objective Multiple-Choice Questions
The time needed for OMR shading is approximately 10 to 12 minutes when shading 150 bubbles (that is, 4.5 seconds per bubble).
Locating an answer in a 300-page textbook will require at least two or three minutes, so searching for just three answers takes up between 8 and 9 minutes and thus means that you are losing the amount of time it would have taken to work through 10 different questions. Candidates who study the textbooks generally end up doing no more than 110 questions. You should treat the textbooks available to you as a last-resort resource for verifying one or two specific facts when you are reviewing, not as a substitute for proper preparation.
SECTION 6: High-Yield Topic Weightage for BSSC CGL Prelims
In order to pass the Preliminary exam, concentrate your revision on the topics which appear most frequently:
| Subject Area | High-Frequency Chapters & Topics | Expected Questions |
|---|---|---|
| Bihar Special GK | Ancient Magadha, Champaran, Rivers, Panchayati Raj Act | 15 to 20 Questions |
| National GS | Modern Indian History, Indian Constitution, Geography | 30 to 35 Questions |
| General Science | Motion, Optics, Electricity, Acids & Bases, Human Body | 25 Questions |
| Mathematics | Percentages, Ratio, Profit & Loss, SI/CI, Time & Work | 25 Questions |
| Mental Ability | Series, Analogies, Coding-Decoding, Non-Verbal, Puzzles | 50 Questions |
1. With regard to general knowledge specific to Bihar:
In Section A there are 15 to 20 questions on topics such as History, Geography, Rivers, Minerals and Panchayati Raj. The following key areas should be given careful attention:
- Ancient and Medieval Bihar: including the rise of the Magadha kingdom, the reign of Bimbisara and Ajatashatru, Chandragupta Maurya, Emperor Ashoka, the Nalanda and Vikramshila universities, and the Battle of Buxar (1764).
- Modern History and the Freedom Struggle: such as the 1857 revolt led by Veer Kunwar Singh in Jagdishpur, the Champaran Satyagraha (1917) which involved Mahatma Gandhi and Raj Kumar Shukla, the Kisan Sabha movement led by Swami Sahajanand Saraswati, and Bihar's role in the Quit India Movement (1942).
- Geography and River Systems: the Ganga river dividing Bihar into a northern and a southern plain; the northern tributaries (Ghaghara, Gandak, Bagmati, Kamla, Kosi); the southern tributaries (Karmanasa, Son, Punpun, Falgu); the main soil zones (Terai, Khadar, Bangar); and the wildlife sanctuaries (Valmiki National Park, Kanwar Lake bird sanctuary).
- The Administrative Framework and Panchayati Raj: the Bihar Panchayati Raj Act of 2006, which made Bihar the first Indian state to provide 50% reservation for women in Panchayati Raj institutions; the three-tier system (Gram Panchayat, Panchayat Samiti, Zila Parishad); and the basic structure of district administration.
- Economic Survey and Demographics: the Census 2011 figures for Bihar (total population 10.41 crores, literacy rate 61.80%, sex ratio 918 females per 1000 males, the highest population density in India at 1106 persons per square kilometer); together with the growth rates, agriculture roadmaps, and welfare schemes from the most recent Bihar Economic Survey.
2. An analysis of the science content in general, specifically in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, as outlined in the NCERT 10th class curriculum
The science questions concentrate on practical and everyday applications:
- The subject matter in Physics covers units and dimensions, Newton's laws of motion, work, energy, power, universal gravitation, Archimedes' principle, spherical mirrors (concave and convex), the refractive index, lenses, and the defects of the human eye (myopia and hypermetropia), Ohm's law, and electrical power.
- The chemistry course includes topics such as physical and chemical changes, balanced chemical equations, acids, bases, and salts (together with indicators on the pH scale), common chemical formulas used in everyday life (for example baking soda NaHCO₃, washing soda Na₂CO₃ · 10H₂O, and bleaching powder CaOCl₂), the properties of metals and non-metals, and common ores.
- In the subject of Biology, the topics include plant and animal cell structures, plant tissues (specifically xylem and phloem), photosynthesis, the various human organ systems (that is, the digestive, circulatory, respiratory, and nervous systems), endocrine glands and hormones (for example, insulin, thyroxine, and adrenaline), infectious diseases, and the vitamins together with the deficiency disorders.
3. Mathematics: Arithmetic, numbers and mensuration
The 25 mathematics questions assess speed and accuracy in relation to standard arithmetic topics taught in Class 10:
- Number systems and simplification: BODMAS rules, fractions, decimals, recurring decimals, square roots, cube roots, surds, indices, the lowest common multiple, and the highest common factor.
- The topic of commercial arithmetic includes percentages, profit and loss, marked price, trade discounts, simple interest, compound interest, ratios, proportions, and the division of partnership profits.
- The topics include average speed, relative speed, problems involving trains, boats and streams, work efficiency, and those related to pipes and cisterns.
- Mensuration involves the calculation of the perimeter and area of two-dimensional shapes such as rectangles, squares, circles, and triangles, as well as that of the surface area and volume of simple three-dimensional shapes including cylinders, spheres, and cones.
4. Reasoning skills: Coding-Decoding, Non-Verbal, Analogies and Number Series
With 50 questions carrying a total of 200 marks, mental ability forms the basis of your Prelims score:
- Finding the missing terms in number and letter sequences by using arithmetic differences, squares, cubes, and alternating patterns.
- Identifying analogies and classifying items by recognising semantic relationships, number pairs, and picking the one that does not belong in a group.
- Coding and decoding include simply shifting the letters, reversing the alphabet (A being 26 and Z being 1), and the use of ciphers based on symbols.
- Analytical Logic: this covers problems involving blood relations, as well as those concerning distance and direction, using the Pythagorean theorem, Venn diagrams, syllogisms, and seating arrangements.
- Non-verbal reasoning includes paper folding, paper cutting, mirror images, embedded figures, and the counting of figures such as triangles, squares, and straight lines.

SECTION 8: A 135-Minute Time Management Strategy: Solving 150 Questions Quickly
In order to finish 150 questions in 135 minutes it is necessary to follow a disciplined sequence when attempting the questions. Starting with the complex math calculations takes up a lot of time and leaves the candidates with little time left to complete the General Studies section:
| Section Order | Questions | Allocated Time | Strategy & Target Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. General Studies + Bihar GK | 50 Questions | 35 to 40 Minutes | Questions that are direct and factual and require no math; aim to get 40 or more correct. |
| 2. General Science | 25 Questions | 20 Minutes | MCQs based on basic concepts from NCERT; quickly mark the answers that you are certain about. |
| 3. Logical Reasoning | 50 Questions | 45 Minutes | This is the section that yields the highest score. Thoroughly solve the puzzles, series and coding questions. |
| 4. Mathematics | 25 Questions | 25 Minutes | Arithmetic calculations; leave the longer algebra problems until later. |
| 5. OMR Review & Bubble Check | 150 Questions | 5 to 10 Minutes | Ensure that the shaded circles exactly match the question numbers in the question booklet. |
SECTION 9: Expected Cutoff Trends and Score Analysis for BSSC 4th CGL
As the BSSC scores are based on 600 (since there are 150 questions each worth 4 marks), the rivalry for top posts such as Secretariat Assistant (ASO) is strong. The benchmarks given below have been drawn from past recruitment patterns and should therefore be treated as objectives for your preparation:
| Candidate Category | Safe Target Questions (out of 150) | Safe Score Range (out of 600) | Selection Probability Benchmark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unreserved (UR / General) | 112 – 118 Questions | 448 – 472 Marks | High Merit Selection (ASO Track) |
| Economically Weaker Section (EWS) | 106 – 110 Questions | 424 – 440 Marks | High Merit Selection |
| Backward Class (BC) | 108 – 112 Questions | 432 – 448 Marks | High Merit Selection |
| Extremely Backward Class (EBC) | 102 – 106 Questions | 408 – 424 Marks | Moderate to High Selection |
| Scheduled Caste (SC) | 92 – 96 Questions | 368 – 384 Marks | High Merit Selection |
| Scheduled Tribe (ST) | 94 – 98 Questions | 376 – 392 Marks | High Merit Selection |
Insight on scoring: The official minimum qualifying score (40% or 240 marks for general candidates) only serves to prevent immediate disqualification. If a candidate is to be actually chosen in the Mains exam, they need to exceed the competitive cutoff. In order to secure a high rank in the Secretariat Assistant position, one should aim for at least 115 net correct questions (460 marks or more) when the effect of negative marking is taken into account.
SECTION 10: Platform Features and Diagnostic Analytics
Our testing system has diagnostic tools built in to help you prepare effectively:
- Heatmaps by section: The dashboard keeps an eye on your performance in General Studies, Bihar GK, Science, Mathematics, and Mental Ability, indicating the areas in which you lose marks.

SECTION 13: 15 Common Mistakes Aspirants Make in BSSC CGL 4
Avoid these frequent errors in your preparation to protect your score:
- In the exam they brought three books into the room and then spent between 15 and 20 minutes looking up answers instead of tackling the questions they knew.
- Confusing the minimum qualifying marks with the cutoff figure—believing that scoring 40% (240 marks) guarantees selection—even though the real Prelims cutoffs are generally above 448 marks.
- If you make random guesses on questions that are doubtful then your total score will be reduced as a result of the -1 penalty.
- By assuming that Bihar's knowledge is equivalent to general Indian knowledge—by neglecting the history, geography, and Panchayati Raj elements specific to Bihar—which account for 15 to 20 marks and are therefore accessible.
- Practicing on computer screens only, without making use of paper OMR sheets, leads to slow bubbling and alignment errors when taking the offline exam.
- Spend too much time on difficult math problems by spending four minutes on a single arithmetic problem and thus not having enough time remaining for the easier reasoning questions.
- Ignoring the basic principles of science: not taking into account the fundamental science topics specified in the NCERT textbook for Class 9 and 10 and therefore leaving 25 questions that are likely to appear.
- Leaving it until the last 10 minutes involved shading all 150 bubbles, which caused panic and resulted in wrongly positioned rows of bubbles.
- Catching on to problems at home casually without keeping track of whether or not you can maintain a rate of 54 seconds per question.
- Attempting to recall math formulas without understanding the fundamental principles leads to making errors when working on problems that involve several steps.
- Failing to carry out practice exercises on paper scratch sheets: carrying out mental arithmetic calculations during practice, which leads to careless sign errors on the day of the exam.
- Not doing enough work on Non-Verbal Reasoning: leaving out the exercises on paper folding, mirror images, and figure counting, since these types of questions give easy marks in Section C.
- If textbooks contain unauthorized notes—such as notes written by hand or copied pages—students will be disqualified immediately.
- Using question banks that have become outdated because the question formats they employ do not comply with the present BSSC testing standards.
- Taking tests without the use of an error notebook, which means doing practice papers without recording and then reviewing the questions that one got wrong in a special notebook.

SECTION 16: Sample High-Yield Practice Questions with Solutions
Review these sample questions illustrating the difficulty level across general and technical sections:
Sample Question 1: Bihar Special GK (Modern History)
Which of the following leaders invited Mahatma Gandhi to Champaran in 1917 in order to find out about the difficulties which the indigo farmers were experiencing under the tinkathia system?
(A) Dr. Rajendra Prasad
(B) Raj Kumar Shukla
(C) Brajkishore Prasad
(D) Mazhar-ul-Haq
Correct Answer: (B) Raj Kumar Shukla
Explanation: In 1916, Raj Kumar Shukla, who was a farmer in the village of Champaran, met Mahatma Gandhi at a meeting of the Indian National Congress in Lucknow and asked him to go to Champaran so that he could look into the way in which the farmers were being exploited under the tinkathia system, this system requiring the cultivators to grow indigo on three twentieths of their land. It was because of this journey that Gandhi started his first Satyagraha campaign in India in 1917.
Sample Question 2: General Science (Physics — Optics)
What lens is used for correcting myopia (near-sightedness), a condition whereby a person can see nearby objects clearly but is unable to see distant objects distinctly?
(A) Convex Lens
(B) Concave Lens
(C) Bifocal Lens
(D) Cylindrical Lens
Correct Answer: (B) Concave Lens
Explanation: In a myopic eye, the image of a distant object is formed in front of the retina instead of on it. A concave lens (a diverging lens) of the suitable focal power causes the incoming light rays to spread out before they reach the eye lens, thus shifting the focal point back onto the retina and enabling clear distant vision to be regained.
Sample Question 3: Mathematics (Commercial Arithmetic)
What percentage discount is offered on the item when an item priced at Rs. 900 is sold for Rs. 720?
(A) 15%
(B) 18%
(C) 20%
(D) 25%
Correct Answer: (C) 20%
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the discount amount:
Discount = Marked Price − Selling Price = 900 − 720 = Rs. 180.
Step 2: Calculate the discount percentage based on the marked price:
Discount Percentage = (Discount / Marked Price) × 100 = (180 / 900) × 100 = 180 / 9 = 20%.
SECTION 17: Daily Current Affairs & Bihar GK Practice
If you want to do well in Section A then it is necessary to stay informed about national news, the state government's initiatives, and economic reports. Spend 15 minutes each morning taking our free daily current affairs quiz to test your recall on regional developments, national appointments, and defense news:
Practical Preparation Tip: Speed Over Book Searching
Consistent practice without relying on open-book searching is what secures your appointment:
- Look through the syllabus weightage table listed above and decide if you need to put in more effort in regard to Bihar Special GK, NCERT Science, or Reasoning speed.
- Spend twenty minutes going over in your revision notebook the essential arithmetic formulas, the tributaries of the Bihar river, and the reasoning coding rules.
- Begin by taking a practice test on the BSSC CGL 4 Mock Test 2027 platform using a printed OMR sheet.
- During the test you should keep your textbooks closed in order to get used to answering questions within the 54-second per question limit.
- Look at your scorecard, examine your category accuracy heatmap, and study the step-by-step solutions for any questions that you got wrong.
