Together they account for 63 percent of the 70 Civil Engineering MCQs on the Sub Engineer Civil Test paper. The ranking is derived rather than counted from Sub Engineer Civil Test papers; the method is stated in full on this page.
How many Civil Engineering MCQs are on the Sub Engineer Civil Test paper?
Civil Engineering is worth 70 MCQs on the Sub Engineer Civil Test paper as set by Public Service Commissions, spread across 8 chapters. This page ranks all 8 of them by how many of those MCQs each chapter is worth.
Are these Sub Engineer Civil Test Civil Engineering numbers counted from past papers?
No. No solved paper on TestUstad examines Civil Engineering, so nothing here is a count. The 70 Civil Engineering MCQs on the Sub Engineer Civil Test paper are spread across the chapters in proportion to how much material each chapter carries in the syllabus. Treat it as a sensible study order and confirm against Public Service Commissions's own syllabus.
Should I skip the low-priority Civil Engineering chapters for Sub Engineer Civil Test?
No. Every chapter in this table appears on the Sub Engineer Civil Test paper, and Sub Engineer Civil Test is decided by a handful of marks. A chapter marked Standard still costs you the marks you drop on it. Use this ranking to decide the order you study in and how long you spend on each chapter, not to cut chapters out.
Where can I practise these Sub Engineer Civil Test Civil Engineering chapters?
Every chapter on this page links to its own free Civil Engineering MCQs on TestUstad, 631 questions across the 8 chapters Sub Engineer Civil Test examines. Practice is free and unlimited with no account, and every question carries a written explanation of why the correct option is correct.
