Know the Paper First

In BPSC TRE 3.0, every class level had one objective paper of 150 questions and 150 marks, with 2 hours 30 minutes to solve it.

Part	Class 1–5	Class 6–8, 9–10, 11–12
Part I: Language	30 questions (qualifying, 30%)	30 questions (qualifying, 30%)
Part II: General Studies	120 questions	40 questions
Part III: Subject	None	80 questions

Each question has five options. (D) is usually “More than one of the above” and (E) “None of the above”, and both are often the right answer. TRE 3.0 had no negative marking; check the TRE 4.0 notification for the current rule.

60-Day BPSC TRE 4.0 Study Plan

Study 6–7 hours a day. Keep one day a week lighter for revision. For Class 1–5, spend the “subject” time on GS topics such as maths, science and social science instead.

Week	Main focus	Daily routine
Week 1	Pattern, syllabus and one full TRE 3.0 paper	Read the syllabus, solve one past paper untimed, list your weak areas
Week 2	Language basics; subject unit 1–2	1 hr language, 3 hrs subject, 2 hrs GS (Indian history and polity)
Week 3	Subject units 3–4; GS geography and Bihar GK	3 hrs subject, 2 hrs GS, 1 hr current affairs
Week 4	Subject units 5–6; GS science and maths	3 hrs subject, 2 hrs GS, 1 hr reasoning practice
Week 5	Finish subject syllabus; GS economy and Bihar schemes	3 hrs subject, 2 hrs GS, 1 hr PYQs
Week 6	All TRE 3.0 GS papers and subject PYQs	One paper a day, then 3 hrs fixing mistakes
Week 7	Full-length mocks	One timed mock every other day; revise notes on other days
Week 8 (days 50–60)	Final revision	Short notes, error notebook, last 6 months’ current affairs, 2–3 final mocks

Part I: Language (Qualifying)

Part I does not count in merit, but if you score below the qualifying mark your paper is not evaluated further. Do not ignore it.

• Revise grammar: parts of speech, tense, voice, narration, synonyms, antonyms, idioms and one-word substitution.
• Practise reading comprehension passages every few days.
• Solve the Part I questions from past papers to see the level, then give it about one hour a day in weeks 2–3 and short revision after that.

Part II: General Studies

GS is common to every candidate, so it often decides the final rank. Bihar-related questions come up regularly.

• History and polity: ancient Magadh, the freedom struggle (especially Champaran and 1857 in Bihar), and the Constitution.
• Geography: India and Bihar: rivers, soils, crops, protected areas and census data.
• Science and maths: NCERT-level basics, percentages, ratios, averages and simple reasoning.
• Current affairs: national news and Bihar schemes. Read daily current affairs for 20–30 minutes every day.

Practise with our 50 Bihar GK questions and the BPSC TRE 3.0 GS papers.

Part III: Your Subject

For Class 6–12, the subject part is 80 of the 150 questions, so it carries the most weight.

• Split your subject syllabus into units and finish one or two units a week.
• Start with the textbooks for the classes you will teach, then go one level higher.
• Make one-page notes of formulas, definitions and facts for each unit.
• Solve the subject questions from TRE 3.0 to see which topics BPSC prefers.

Class 1–5 vs Class 6–12: What Changes

Point	Class 1–5	Class 6–12
Merit parts	120 GS questions	40 GS + 80 subject questions
Where to spend time	Wide GS: maths, science, social science, reasoning, Bihar GK	Mostly your subject, with steady GS practice
Best practice paper	TRE 3.0 Class 1–5 GS paper	TRE 3.0 GS paper and subject paper for your class level

What to Study From

• NCERT textbooks for Classes 6–12 for science, maths and social science basics.
• Bihar Board (SCERT Bihar) textbooks for Bihar history, geography and the way topics are taught in Bihar schools.
• Your graduation or post-graduation books for Class 9–12 subject preparation.
• Previous year papers from BPSC TRE and Bihar STET, which show the actual level of questions.

PYQs, Mocks and Revision

• Solve every available TRE 3.0 paper at least once, timed, in week 6.
• From week 7, take a full mock test every other day in 150 minutes.
• After each mock, spend more time analysing than you spent taking it. Write every wrong question in an error notebook.
• In the last 10 days, do not start new topics. Revise notes, the error notebook and recent current affairs.

Exam-Day Tips

• Finish Part I quickly but carefully so that you qualify, then move to the merit parts.
• Read all five options. Check whether more than one option is correct before marking (D).
• Fill the OMR sheet as you go, not all at the end.
• Carry your admit card, a valid photo ID and the items the admit card asks for. Reach the centre early.
