For UPSC and State PSC aspirants

You read Polity in January.Can you still recall it in June?

Most of it is gone by March. Revising it at the right time is what brings it back. That is what PrepShark does.

Chapter capsules to read, flashcards that bring back what you got wrong, and chapter-wise MCQs to practise on. One chapter, all the way through.

You rate each card. PrepShark works out when you need to see it next.

Nothing takes one chapter all the way through.

You have the books. Twelve gigabytes of PDFs, four playlists, and a test series you stopped opening in March.

Three things have to happen: you read the chapter, you still know it eleven months later, and you can answer questions on it.

01Read

Chapter capsules you can finish in one sitting

A capsule is the whole chapter written to be read once and understood, covering everything you can be tested on. Highlight as you go, keep notes in the margin, and pick up from where you stopped.

Indian Polity / Ch. 041 mark

Historical Background

The Regulating Act of 1773 was the first step taken by the British Government to control and regulate the affairs of the East India Company in India. It designated the Governor of Bengal as the Governor-General of Bengal and created an Executive Council of four members to assist him.

It established a Supreme Court at Calcutta comprising one chief justice and three other judges.

02Recall

Flashcards that come back before you forget

Every chapter becomes a set of flashcards. Get one wrong and it comes back tomorrow. Get it right a few times in a row and the gap stretches to a week, then a month, so your time goes to the cards you keep getting wrong.

MCQs written the way your exam asks them

Chapter-wise, so you can test a chapter the day you finish it. Strike out the options that cannot be true, choose between what is left, and read the explanation the moment you answer, while you still remember why you picked what you picked.

Mains answers, with a model to measure against

Prelims gets you into the exam; Mains decides it. Each chapter will carry questions with model answers, broken down the way an examiner marks them. You write first, then compare.

Simulate

Full-length mocks under the real clock

Prelims papers timed the way the exam times them, and Mains papers where you write full answers, so the first time you sit under exam conditions is not the day it counts.

Current affairs

Slotted into the chapter it belongs to

Written against your syllabus, not as a daily feed you have to read, sort and file yourself.

Who this is for

UPSC CSE

General Studies, chapter by chapter

From the first read through to the questions.

TGPSC & APPSC

State papers as their own subjects

Not squeezed into the UPSC syllabus.

Alongside your books

This does not replace your sources

Books teach you the subject. This keeps it in your head.

Questions

Which exams does this cover?

UPSC Civil Services and state services including TGPSC and APPSC. General Studies subjects are shared across those exams; state papers are built as their own subjects.

Is it free?

Most of it. Chapter capsules, flashcards and MCQs are free, and you need an account so your highlights, notes and revision schedule are saved somewhere that is not just one browser. The daily current-affairs radar is paid.

Does this replace standard books?

No. Use your books and coaching material to learn a subject the first time. This is for everything after that: revising it, practising questions on it, and keeping it in your head until the exam.

How much time does this take every day?

Ten to twenty minutes for most people. It is heaviest in your first week on a chapter and gets lighter every week after that.

How many chapters are ready?

175, across History and Culture of Andhra Pradesh, Indian History, Indian Polity, Science and Technology, Telangana Economy, Telangana Geography, Telangana History and Telangana Movement. Flashcards and MCQs are written chapter by chapter and follow behind the capsules, so a subject can have its chapters before it has its cards. More subjects are being written now.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes. Everything works in a mobile browser today. An Android app is in testing, and it will use the same account and the same revision schedule.

Is it available in Telugu or Hindi?

Not yet. Everything is in English today. Both are planned.

One chapter, read, revised and tested, until June.
