Normal practice, or a Simulated test

Both use the same questions. Normal practice is untimed and needs no account: choose an option and the answer and solution appear at once. The Simulated test is the real computer-based format, with one 35-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

About this test

Anglo-Mysore, Maratha and Sikh Wars Level 3 GK Quiz for Advanced Revision

For aspirants in the final revision stage, this Level 3 GK quiz on Aptitude360 tests the Anglo-Mysore, Anglo-Maratha and Anglo-Sikh wars in depth. It relies on multi-statement, match-the-list and chronology formats that link Governors-General, rulers, treaties and territories across the period of British expansion.

Areas examined in this advanced Modern History set

  • Residents, the subsidiary alliance and paramountcy as methods of Company control
  • Periods of the four Anglo-Mysore wars and the fall of Seringapatam
  • Outcomes of each Anglo-Maratha war, from Salbai to the Peshwa's exile at Bithur
  • Territorial results: Awadh's cession, gains of Orissa and the annexation of Punjab
  • Matching places such as Seringapatam, Salbai and Sangoli with their events
  • Cross-linking events with the tenures of Wellesley and Hastings

Key concepts for match and chronology questions

  • Placing events within a Governor-General's tenure, such as Seringapatam under Wellesley
  • Ordering resistance at Kitoor relative to the Sikh and Afghan wars
  • Distinguishing which war ended in restoration of an old dynasty under a subsidiary alliance
  • Avoiding traps that swap Wellesley's and Hastings' policies

Revision strategy for Level 3

  • Build a year-wise grid with columns for Mysore, Marathas, Sikhs and Governors-General
  • Learn person and period pairs for Haidar Ali, Tipu Sultan, Wellesley and Hastings together with war and outcome pairs, so each link is recalled as one unit
  • Revise outcomes, not just names, since many options differ only in results

Ideal candidates for this level

Best suited to UPSC, state PSC and SSC aspirants who have finished the earlier levels and want exam-format practice before the final test.
