RRB Group D (Level 1) Mock Tests: exam pattern, marking scheme, time per question and free mocks
RRB Group D is a 90-minute computer-based test with 100 questions for 100 marks in 4 sections (General Science 25, Mathematics 25, General Intelligence & Reasoning 30, General Awareness & Current Affairs 20). Marking: +1 for a correct answer and −0.33 for a wrong one, with no marks for unattempted questions. MockBazaar's RRB Group D mocks follow this pattern, with the same timer, question palette and negative marking, and a step-by-step solution for every question.
Science-heavy CBT for Level 1 railway posts. One computer-based test, then a Physical Efficiency Test. General Science is a full quarter of the paper.
