Description
This PDF is a systematic compilation of the most frequently repeated MCQ traps used by the UPSC in the Preliminary Examination over the years.
UPSC does not repeat questions verbatim.
It repeats traps—in statements, options, framing, and logic.
This book is designed to help aspirants identify those traps before they mark the answer.
What This PDF Actually Teaches
This is not a theory book and not a question bank.
It focuses on:
-
How UPSC misleads through statements
-
How options are designed to look correct but are technically wrong
-
How correct answers are hidden using language tricks, qualifiers, and pairings
-
Why well-prepared students still lose marks despite knowing the topic
Each MCQ trap is explained with:
-
The trap mechanism
-
Why aspirants usually fall for it
-
How UPSC expects candidates to think
-
How to safely eliminate options without guessing
Important Note:
Reading this PDF will increase your judgment accuracy.
That difference alone decides qualification vs elimination in Prelims.
