The SFG 2025 Level 1 is designed to cover all the NCERTs as the primary source, in addition we will also supplement questions from the secondary source mentioned in the timetable.
Every Test will have around 10 questions from previous years of CSE and other Govt Exams including NDA / CDS / CAPF.
There are no Full-Length Revision Tests in SFG. It has Tests of 50 questions all throughout.
The NCERTs can be downloaded from https://go.forumias.com/ncerts
This is not the replacement for a Test Series Program, and it offers no flexibility. Tests once missed - are missed for good. You can download the PDF of question paper and answer but you will not be able to attempt the test post 8 AM.
There will be an answer key and solution that will be released on the SFG Channel along with the daily result. It will be in PDF / pasted on website format. No hard copy of solutions will be provided to offline students either.
Channel Link: https://go.forumias.com/--
The tests will be held in ONLINE and OFFLINE MODE. The offline results will be released first, by 5PM of the same day. It can be used by online students to benchmark their performance. Consolidated ( both online & offline ) results will be published by 10PM.
Tests will commence from 7AM and will end by 8 AM. Students can start test anytime between 7 AM to 8 AM but the test will autosubmit at 8 AM i.e. if you start at 7:50 AM the test will auto submit at 8 AM. You must write the test only during this window.
In case you are already enrolled in any Forum Prelims Test Series - you can continue in the old Test Series and complete the syllabus as per the schedule. You can additionally join the SFG test to attempt the tests in a disciplined manner. SFG Tests however, have to be written on the same day and
same time.
The SFG / RLG is a subsidised program where ForumIAS bears 60% of the cost of the program from its other programs. Admissions and continuance in the program is completely at the discretion of ForumIAS, and membership to the program will be terminated in case a candidate is found
cheating. No refunds shall be made on any grounds.
The success of the program lies in inculcating the qualities of discipline, hard work, punctuality, time-boundedness, and abiding by rules.
The Tests will be held 6 days in a week - M, T, W, Th, F, S. CSAT tests will be conducted on Saturday.
