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

India's Firsts and Superlatives GK Practice Quiz for Level 3 Revision

This Level 3 Aptitude360 GK quiz tests India's firsts: the first holders of constitutional offices, pioneering women, the early general elections and milestones in space and transport. The questions use statement, matching and chronology formats, so you need to recall who did what, when and in what order.

Topics covered in this India's firsts GK set

  • First heads of independent India: Governor-General, President, Vice President and Prime Minister
  • First Chief Justice of India and first Speaker of the Lok Sabha
  • India's first general elections and the first Chief Election Commissioner, Sukumar Sen
  • Women firsts such as Sucheta Kripalani, Sarojini Naidu, Fathima Beevi, Pratibha Patil and Bachendri Pal
  • Space firsts: Aryabhata, Rohini, India's first lunar mission, Sriharikota and Rakesh Sharma's Soyuz flight
  • India's first railway train from Bombay to Thane

Key concepts to revise for India's firsts questions

  • Telling a first Governor-General apart from a first President and a first Vice President
  • Which person held which office, for matching-list questions
  • The order of events across eras, from the first railway to the first lunar mission
  • Linking each first to its detail, such as a spacecraft, a launch site or a state

Revision tips for firsts and superlatives

  • Build one timeline that places every first in order, because chronology questions mix events from different decades
  • Revise women firsts as a separate list that pairs each name with her office
  • Keep a person and office chart for the Lok Sabha, the Supreme Court and the Election Commission

Who should take this Level 3 firsts quiz

This set suits aspirants for SSC, banking, railway and state exams who have already revised the basics of static GK and now want harder statement and matching practice.
