What to look for in your mock test trend
Example: say your GS Paper I scores over four mocks are 72, 78, 85 and 88, while CSAT stays between 68 and 86. The GS line is rising and the last two mocks sit near the recent General cut-offs, so the next step is to make 90+ consistent rather than occasional. CSAT is safely above 66, but a dip towards 70 is a warning sign worth a few practice sets.
- Direction matters more than one score. A steady upward line across five or six mocks is a better sign than one high score.
- Big swings point to guessing. If scores jump up and down, check how many wrong answers each mock had.
- Keep CSAT in view. Many aspirants clear the GS cut-off but miss the 66-mark CSAT line; plot both papers.
- Compare like with like. Mocks from different test series vary in difficulty, so label them clearly.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make a graph of my mock test scores?
Type each mock's name and your Paper 1 (GS) and Paper 2 (CSAT) marks into the table, then press Update Graph. The tool draws a line or bar chart of your scores in the order you entered them.
Can I download the graph as an image?
Yes. Press Download PNG and the current chart is saved as a PNG image on your device, ready to share or add to your study notes. The image is created in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
What marks range is allowed?
Each paper accepts marks from 0 to 200, because UPSC Prelims GS Paper I and CSAT (GS Paper II) are each marked out of 200. Decimals such as 92.66 are allowed; negative net scores are not plotted.
Is my data saved?
Yes, on this device only. Your table is stored in your browser's local storage, so it is still there when you come back, but it is not uploaded anywhere. Clearing browser data removes it.
What score line should I compare my mocks against?
For GS Paper I, compare with recent official cut-offs: 87.98 (2024) and 92.66 (2025) for the General category. For CSAT, you only need 66 out of 200 (33%) to qualify.
