Sixty marks of reasoning — and in that session, a wrong answer costs you nothing.
Session-I is half arithmetic, half reasoning, forty-five minutes, and no negative marking. Clear it and Session-II gets marked. Don't, and it never does.
For matriculation-level candidates preparing for MTS and Havaldar posts.
Why start now
In most exams half of preparation is deciding what to leave blank. Not in this session. Nothing is taken off for a wrong answer, so everyone attempts everything — which means Session-I isn't won by nerve. It's won by being right, quickly.
Being right quickly at series, analogies, coding and diagram questions is a trained reflex. It builds a little at a time, over weeks, and once it's there it doesn't leave before exam day.
Forty-five minutes, and then the session closes by itself. The faster you are on the reasoning half, the more of that time is left for the arithmetic half. The day you start is the day it starts compounding.
Session-I is the gate: SSC evaluates Session-II only if you qualify in Session-I. The merit list is then built on Session-II alone.
Reasoning isn't a syllabus you can read. It's a thinking skill, built by practising the right questions, the right amount, over time. That's exactly what Master Mental Ability does — and SSC's own syllabus for this part names series, coding, analogy, directions, clocks and calendars and non-verbal reasoning from diagrams, which is precisely what the app trains.
Harder as you improve, easier when you slip. No time wasted on what you've already got.
Spaced repetition returns a question right as it's about to fade — so it's still there on exam day.
You reason it out before the answer shows. That effort is where recognition gets built.
A moment to settle before each session. The same calm a 45-minute session takes away.
On Android, all questions live securely on your phone — so after install, daily practice costs zero data. On desktop or laptop, solve in any browser with an active connection. A quiet check-in about once a week syncs your progress.
The Android app is still in build. Tell us which exam you are preparing for and we will message you the day it opens.
In 2007, in his second year at IIT Delhi, Vineesh wrote a book — Master Mental Ability in 30 Days. It has sold year after year ever since, without the publisher ever marketing it.
In the years since, he built other learning products and spent a decade working with children of every background in a holistic learning centre.
This app goes far beyond that book — everything he's learned about how people actually learn, built into something you practise, not just read.

Fifteen minutes a day on alphanumeric series, Venn diagrams and matrix logic — 20 questions worth 60 marks, half of Session I.

Free to try — no signup to start, no card, no auto-debit, nothing taken silently. When you want the full library there are three plans, by length: ₹499 for three months, ₹699 for six, ₹999 for a year. Each is a single payment for that period, not a subscription — when it ends we ask you, and nothing is ever taken automatically. You can also keep learning free by sharing the app, and you can always try before paying anything.
No — and no single app is. The paper is four parts across two sessions; this one trains Reasoning Ability and Problem Solving. Numerical and Mathematical Ability, General Awareness and English need their own work, and the Havaldar physical tests need the ground. What we do, we do properly.
In Session-I, yes. SSC's notice says there is no negative marking in Session-I, and one mark deducted for each wrong answer in Session-II. So in the reasoning half, attempting a question can only help you — which also means everyone attempts everything, and the session is decided by who is right.
Some. Practice always beats no practice. But be honest with yourself about what forty questions in forty-five minutes means: recognition is built over months, not in a week. Start anyway — the next cycle is closer than it feels.
Yes — fully. Choose Hindi and the whole app is Hindi: the questions themselves, the options, and the explanation after each one — not an English app with Hindi labels around it. Worth knowing either way: SSC conducts this examination in Hindi, English and 13 regional languages, for Session-I and the General Awareness part of Session-II.
Almost never. The questions are on your phone, so you can practise on a train, in a village with no signal, on a phone with no data pack. The app checks in with us about once a week to confirm your access is still active — a few seconds, a few kilobytes. That's also when your progress is saved online and when replies to any questions you've asked come through. If you're offline for longer than that, nothing is lost — you just reconnect when you can.
Only on the Staff Selection Commission's own website, ssc.gov.in — never through an agent and never through us. SSC publishes a Notice of Examination each cycle with the application window, and its Tentative Calendar advertises MTS & Havaldar around June with the exam between September and November. Check ssc.gov.in for the current cycle.
