RRB Group D Mock Test – Railway Group D Practice Test
Railway Group D is often the first Railway exam an aspirant attempts, and steady timed practice matters more than reading endless notes.
At Railway Trust Academy you can attempt a Group D practice test online, check your score and see exactly which subject is costing you marks.
Every Group D practice test is built on the Level 1 computer-based test pattern: 100 questions, 90 minutes, four subjects and negative marking. You sit the paper the same way you will sit it in the exam hall, with a live timer, a question palette and the option to mark questions for review.
Group D papers rarely ask difficult questions. They ask ordinary questions very quickly. That is why a student who knows the syllabus can still score low on speed alone, and why regular timed practice changes the result more than extra reading does.

What is the Railway Group D exam?
Railway Group D (Level 1) recruitment fills posts such as Track Maintainer Grade IV, Pointsman, Assistant Pointsman, Assistant (Workshop), Assistant Bridge, Assistant TL & AC, Assistant S&T and Helper across Railway departments and production units. Candidates who have passed Class 10, or hold an ITI certificate or a National Apprenticeship Certificate, are normally eligible, and the age relaxation rules of the notification apply to reserved categories.
Railway Group D selection process
Selection runs in stages. First comes the single-stage Computer Based Test of 100 questions in 90 minutes. Candidates who clear the normalised cut-off are called for the Physical Efficiency Test, which sets separate lifting and running standards for male and female candidates. After that comes document verification and the medical examination, where vision standards matter for several Level 1 posts. Only the CBT score decides the merit list; the PET is qualifying.
Group D exam pattern and marking
The paper carries 100 questions for 100 marks in 90 minutes, with 120 minutes for eligible scribe candidates. Each correct answer gives 1 mark and each wrong answer takes away one-third of a mark, so blind guessing pulls the score down. The paper is available in Hindi, English and several regional languages, and scores are normalised across shifts before the cut-off is applied.
Group D syllabus in short
Mathematics covers number system, BODMAS, LCM and HCF, ratio and proportion, percentage, profit and loss, time and work, time and distance, simple and compound interest, mensuration, algebra, basic geometry and trigonometry, elementary statistics and calendar and clock. Reasoning covers analogies, coding-decoding, series, syllogism, Venn diagrams, blood relations, directions, classification and simple mathematical operations. General Science follows the Class 10 CBSE level of Physics, Chemistry and Life Science. General Awareness with Current Affairs covers science and technology, sports, culture, personalities, economics, politics and important national and international events.
Check your Group D preparation level
After you submit, your report shows your score, attempted questions, correct and incorrect answers, accuracy, time taken, subject-wise performance and the topics where you lost the most marks. Use that report to decide what to revise next.
Common mistakes Group D aspirants make
Most lost marks come from a small set of habits: attempting the paper without a timer, spending three or four minutes on one arithmetic question, guessing on General Awareness and ignoring the one-third negative marking, revising only the subjects that already feel comfortable, and reading solutions only for questions that were marked wrong instead of also checking the lucky guesses. A mock test exposes each of these within one sitting.
How Railway Trust Academy helps with Group D practice
Our Group D mock tests keep to the official question count, duration and marking scheme, and every question carries a full explanation so you learn from mistakes instead of only seeing a score. The report breaks your attempt down subject by subject so you can tell whether the problem is knowledge, speed or accuracy, and free Group D tests are available so you can judge your level before paying for anything.
Why practise these tests?
- Build the exam stamina needed to stay accurate for the full 90-minute paper
- Practise Group D level arithmetic and reasoning under real time pressure
- Spot weak General Science and Current Affairs topics early
- Learn when to skip a question instead of losing marks to negative marking
- Get comfortable with the CBT screen, palette and mark-for-review before exam day
- Track your accuracy across attempts instead of guessing your readiness

A simple preparation plan
Weeks 1–4: build the base
Finish the Mathematics and Reasoning chapters one topic at a time and attempt a short practice set after each topic. Read Class 10 Science chapters in the evening. Keep one notebook only for formulas, shortcuts and the facts you keep forgetting.
Weeks 5–8: add timed practice
Attempt one full-length Group D mock test every week and two sectional tests in between. After every test, spend as much time analysing the report as you spent taking the paper. Target 60 to 65 accurate attempts first, then push the number up.
Weeks 9–12: revise and simulate
Attempt two full mock tests a week at the same time of day as your exam shift. Revise your formula notebook and the last six months of current affairs. Stop learning new topics in the final week and only repeat what you already know well.
