Hope you have completed yesterday’s targets and now ready to give this test. Please note that you should not worry about scores in these tests.

If you have any doubt, please discuss them in comment section. We are not giving explanations for CSAT questions (Yes, we have included them too!), please someone from you explain them in comment box. As of now we are posting previous year CSAT questions.
