Can two subjects boost your score?
The table above clearly shows that 160 questions will be asked from four subjects in the Uttar Pradesh Police Sub-Inspector CBT exam. The total marks will be 400. General Hindi, Basic Law, Math, and Reasoning topics are included in the exam. You will notice that Hindi and Basic Law are two subjects where, no matter how much you try to cover the syllabus, you cannot get full marks.

If you don't know the exact answer, guessing might lead to a correct or incorrect answer. However, you can strengthen your skills in Math (Numerical & Mental Ability) and Reasoning (Mental Aptitude/Reasoning) through practice. These subjects will greatly help you increase your scores. This is because questions from these subjects often follow recurring patterns. Therefore, it is crucial to master them. If you know the tricks to solve these problems and have good speed, you can score well in them. Now you might ask, how to practice them? The best way is to take mock tests. Once you have covered the entire syllabus for both subjects, start taking mock tests. You also need to study Hindi and General Knowledge alongside.
