Hey aspirant!

The UPSC CSE CSAT Paper is of 200 marks. Paper has different questions related to Reasoning, English, decision- making questions, basic numeracy etc.

You have to score at least 33% in this exam to clear CSAT. The real game changer is UPSC Prelims- GS1 because the cut-off will be decided by that.

Now, come to your problem. If you are not good in maths,make sure to perform best in reasoning and english because all you need is 66 marks only to clear UPSC CSAT.Many toppers have advised to solve loads of previous year's question papers and mock papers to perform well in CSAT.

UPSC CSAT Syllabus

1.Comprehension
2.Logical reasoning and analytical ability
3.Interpersonal skills including communication skills
4.General mental ability
5.Decision-making and problem solving
6.Basic numeracy (numbers and their relations, orders of magnitude, etc.) (Class X level), Data interpretation (charts, graphs, tables, data sufficiency etc. - Class X level)
