APPSC Group 1 Preliminary Exam has a total of 150 marks. There will be 150 questions for you to answer. APPSC has also introduced negative marketing, so you receive a negative influence for every question with a wrong answer. 1 third of the mark is deducted for each wrongly answered question. This means that the APPSC Group 1 exam is no different than any other UPSC Civil Services Preliminary Exams.

Note: It is highly advised to answer only those questions you know the answer to. Don’t blindly guess the answer if you don’t know anything about the problem because every mark will count here.
