Bihar CGL Maths Mock Test

The General Science & Mathematics section of BSSC CGL prelims carries 50 questions and 50 marks — equal weightage to GK and Reasoning. For candidates with a science or mathematics background, this section is a scoring opportunity. For others, it is the section that requires the most dedicated practice to avoid negative marks from blind guessing.

Setlgao Bihar CGL maths mock tests cover arithmetic, algebra, geometry, mensuration, data interpretation, and applied mathematics alongside physics, chemistry, and biology questions — exactly as they appear in the combined Science & Math section of the actual paper.

Our maths practice material is sourced from authentic BSSC CGL PYQs where mathematics and science questions are classified and tagged by topic. This means you can take a pure maths mini mock with 25 arithmetic and algebra questions, or a combined science-math section test with all 50 questions.

This page explains the maths and science section structure, key topics, preparation approach, and how Setlgao helps you turn this section into a scoring advantage.

Why Maths Mock Tests Are Crucial for BSSC CGL

Mathematics in BSSC CGL is not advanced calculus — it is applied arithmetic, basic algebra, and geometry at the Class 10–12 level. The challenge is speed, not complexity. Without regular timed practice, simple calculations that should take 30 seconds end up consuming two minutes, eating into your GK and reasoning time.

Negative marking punishes guessing in maths more than in GK. If you are unsure about a science fact, skipping is often smarter than guessing. Maths mock tests teach you when to attempt, when to skip, and when to use elimination — skills that directly protect your score.

The science portion (physics, chemistry, biology) in BSSC CGL tests conceptual understanding of everyday phenomena — not laboratory-level detail. Regular science practice through mock tests builds the intuition needed to answer these applied questions confidently.

  • Science & Math section = 50 questions, 50 marks
  • Speed matters more than advanced knowledge
  • Negative marking makes blind guessing costly
  • Science questions test everyday conceptual understanding
  • Regular practice builds calculation speed and accuracy

Bihar CGL (BSSC CGL) Exam Pattern

The General Science & Mathematics section contains 50 questions to be attempted in roughly 45 minutes. Questions alternate between science (physics, chemistry, biology) and mathematics (arithmetic, algebra, geometry) without a fixed sub-section boundary.

Setlgao maths mock tests let you practise the full 50-question section or focus on mathematics-only or science-only subsets. Each test uses the BSSC CGL marking scheme with negative marking.

PYQ analysis shows arithmetic (percentage, profit-loss, time-speed-distance, ratio) accounts for about 40% of maths questions, geometry and mensuration about 25%, and algebra about 15%. Science questions distribute roughly equally across physics, chemistry, and biology.

  • Total questions: 150 MCQs
  • Total marks: 150 (1 mark per question)
  • Duration: 135 minutes
  • Negative marking: 1/3 mark per wrong answer
  • Sections: General Studies (50) | Science & Math (50) | Reasoning (50)
  • Medium: Hindi and English (as per official notification)

Important Maths & Science Topics for Bihar CGL

For mathematics, master arithmetic operations — percentage calculations, profit and loss, simple and compound interest, time-speed-distance, ratio-proportion, and averages. These appear in nearly every BSSC CGL paper and should be solvable in under 60 seconds each.

Geometry and mensuration questions test area, volume, and angle properties of standard shapes — triangles, circles, rectangles, cylinders. Memorise key formulas but focus on application through practice rather than rote memorisation.

For science, prioritise physics (mechanics, optics, electricity), chemistry (elements, compounds, reactions, acids-bases), and biology (human body systems, diseases, plant and animal classification). Questions are application-based, not theoretical.

  • Arithmetic: percentage, profit-loss, interest, TSD, ratio, averages
  • Algebra: linear equations, quadratic basics, number series
  • Geometry: triangles, circles, mensuration, coordinate basics
  • Physics: mechanics, optics, electricity, heat
  • Chemistry: periodic table, reactions, acids-bases, everyday chemistry
  • Biology: human body, diseases, classification, environmental science

Maths & Science Preparation Tips

Solve 20 maths PYQs daily without a calculator. BSSC CGL does not allow calculators, so mental math and shortcut techniques (percentage tricks, divisibility rules) are essential. Setlgao topic-wise maths tests are ideal for this daily drill.

Take one combined science-math section mock per week. Track how many minutes you spend on maths vs science questions. If maths takes more than 25 minutes, you need more speed practice.

For science, make formula and concept cards for physics and chemistry. Review them before each science practice session. Biology facts are best retained through repeated quizzing rather than passive reading.

  • Solve 20 maths PYQs daily without calculator
  • Learn mental math shortcuts for percentage and multiplication
  • Weekly science-math section mock with time tracking
  • Formula cards for physics and chemistry
  • Use Setlgao science topic pages for biology drill
  • Skip uncertain questions — protect against negative marking
