IBPS RRB PO Prelims Mock Test 1
A full Prelims on the 2026 pattern: Reasoning 40 questions in 25 minutes, then Quantitative Aptitude 40 in 20, each on its own clock. Five options a question, 0.25 off for a wrong one, with a solution under every question.
IBPS RRB PO Prelims exam pattern 2026
From IBPS's detailed notification of 01.09.2026 and the information handout for the online preliminary examination.
| Test | Questions | Marks | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reasoning | 40 | 40 | 25 minutes |
| Quantitative Aptitude | 40 | 40 | 20 minutes |
| Total | 80 | 80 | 45 minutes |
Twenty five minutes for 40 reasoning questions is about 37 seconds a question, and twenty minutes for 40 quantitative questions is 30 seconds. Time left in Reasoning cannot be carried into Quantitative Aptitude. A wrong answer costs 0.25 against 1 for a right one, so a guess after removing two options still pays on average, while a blind guess among five does not.
What the paper asks, test by test
| Test | What comes up |
|---|---|
| Reasoning | Three seating puzzles of five questions each, a row, a building and a circle, every one with a single possible arrangement. Then five syllogisms and five inequalities with the five conclusion options, coding and decoding, blood relations, direction and distance, ranking and alphanumeric series. |
| Quantitative Aptitude | Eight simplification and approximation questions, five number series, five quadratic equation pairs, two data tables with five questions each, and twelve arithmetic questions on percentage, profit and loss, interest, time and work, speed, ratio, ages, averages and partnership. |
Of the 80 questions, 28 are easy, 48 moderate and 4 hard. The five letters A to E are each the right answer 16 times, so the key carries no pattern to guess from. One honest limit: the paper is text only, so it has no figure based items.
Frequently asked questions
Is this IBPS RRB PO mock test free?
Yes. The full Prelims paper opens online without signing up or paying. An account is optional and only keeps your past scores.
How many questions and marks are there in the IBPS RRB PO Prelims?
80 questions in two tests. Reasoning has 40 questions in 25 minutes and Quantitative Aptitude has 40 questions in 20 minutes. Each question carries 1 mark, so the paper is 80 marks.
Is there negative marking in IBPS RRB PO Prelims?
Yes. One quarter of the marks assigned to a question is deducted for every wrong answer, which is 0.25 on a 1 mark question. A question left blank costs nothing.
Are the two tests timed separately?
Yes. The handout gives each test its own time, 25 minutes for Reasoning and 20 for Quantitative Aptitude, and a test closes when its time ends. This mock runs the same way, one test at a time.
How many options does each question have?
Five. The options are numbered 1 to 5 in the real exam and lettered A to E here, and a few questions give the answer options as fixed statements, such as which conclusion follows.
When is the IBPS RRB PO Prelims exam date?
The date and shift are printed on your call letter, so check it on the IBPS site once it is released. This page does not guess a date.
