Preparing for UPSC CSE

National

State public service commissions

Tests and subjects follow the exam you choose.

Your questions, answered.

A quick guide to using QuizLane.

How do I start a test?

Open Practice tests, choose a test, read its overview, and select Start practice. You need a free account so your answers and results can be saved.

Are these official exam questions?

No. The practice tests use original sample questions written for QuizLane. The Previous year papers page links to the official websites of UPSC and each state commission.

Where is my progress saved?

Your attempts, results, bookmarks, study plan, and preferences are saved to your QuizLane account, so they are available on any device you sign in to.

Can I resume a test?

Yes. Open the same test again and choose Resume practice. The timer keeps running while you are away, and a session that runs out of time is submitted automatically.

What happens after submission?

You see your score and an explanation for every question. You can start a fresh attempt from the results page at any time.

I forgot my password.

Use “Forgot password?” on the sign-in page. We will email you a link that works once and expires after an hour.

How do I delete my account?

Go to Preferences and use “Delete account” at the bottom of the page. This permanently removes your profile and all of your practice data.

Chat safety

For now, you can chat only with friends you invited to QuizLane and the friend who invited you. Nobody else can message you, even if they know your @username. Chats are text only, and every new chat starts as a request you can accept or delete.

  1. Don’t want to talk? Open the request in Messages → Requests and choose Delete. The sender is not told.
  2. Someone is bothering you? Choose Report at the top of the chat and pick “Harassment or abuse”. The chat is blocked straight away and our team reviews harassment reports first. You can also choose Block on its own.
  3. Blocked by mistake? Blocked chats are kept under Messages → Archived, where you can unblock them.
  4. Want no new requests? Turn off Allow Message Requests in Preferences. Chats you already accepted keep working.
  5. Keep your details private. Never share your phone number, home address, passwords or payment details, and never pay anyone you meet in chat.
  6. Share your invite link only with people you know, not in public groups.
  7. In danger or need help? Emergency: 112. Women Helpline: 181. Cyber crime: call 1930 or report at cybercrime.gov.in.
