SET papers: common questions
Are these real SET previous year questions?
No. Symbiosis does not publish past SET papers, so every question is written to its real pattern and difficulty.
How were these questions chosen?
Curated by talking to hundreds of teachers and studying the real SET pattern, so they match its sections, question types and difficulty.
What is in each paper?
20 multiple-choice questions: 6 General English, 5 Quantitative, 5 General Awareness and 4 Analytical & Logical Reasoning, in the real exam's order.
How long should I give one paper?
20 minutes in one sitting, the real SET pace of about 1 minute a question.
Are the answers checked?
Yes. Every question was solved without seeing the answer key, and kept only when the two matched.
Do the papers have solutions?
Yes, step by step, and the fastest way beside each one. Paper 1 is free, solutions included. In papers 2 to 5 the questions and the answer key are free - except a question that is also in a mock test, which stays hidden until you sit the mock - and the worked solutions come with Klay Prep's paid plan.
What is the SET syllabus?
Sections (Symbiosis names no topics; the topics are from prep sites): General English: vocabulary, grammar, error spotting, fill in the blanks, Quantitative: arithmetic, number system, algebra, permutations, probability, mensuration, General Awareness: current affairs, business, awards, books, sports, static GK, Analytical & Logical Reasoning: arrangements, syllogisms, relations, coding, Venn diagrams.
