How are the questions and answers on this site checked?

This websiteUpdated 2026-10-23
Short answer

Quant answer keys are recomputed in code, puzzles and seating sets are solved by computer search to confirm a single solution, English questions are answered independently, time-sensitive GA facts carry an "as of" date, and every bank passes a validator.

Each subject has its own check, because a wrong answer key is worse than no question.

Checks by subject

SubjectHow answers are checked
QuantHand-written answers are recomputed in code from the question's own numbers. A key is rejected if it does not match, or if another option also matches.
ReasoningPuzzle and seating sets are solved by searching all arrangements; each must have exactly one solution. Syllogisms are checked against every possible Venn diagram.
EnglishEach question is answered independently. Questions where a second option could be defended are rewritten.
General AwarenessTime-sensitive facts (rates, office holders, recent events) were checked against sources and carry an "as of" date. Facts that could not be confirmed were dropped.

Generated questions

For 30 topics, questions are generated by code. The code computes the answer itself, so the key cannot be mistyped. A generated question is kept only if it has five different options and a valid answer position.

The validator

Every question bank passes an automatic check before it is loaded. It rejects unknown topics, questions without exactly five options, duplicate options, invalid answer keys, missing or very short explanations, and duplicate questions within and across bank files.

Typed answers

For numeric questions you can type the value. Commas, "Rs." and "%" are ignored, and a small tolerance allows for rounding.

If you find a mistake

Mistakes can still slip through. If an answer key or fact looks wrong, note the question and report it as described on the About page. GA facts can also go out of date after their "as of" date, so check current rates on official sites such as the RBI website.

Questions here are written for practice. They follow the published pattern but are not copies of SBI papers.
