FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is ComputePrep free?
The daily is free, permanently — three timed drills every day, no ads, no account needed. There is an optional paid tier: Pro is ₹199/month or ₹1,499/year with a 7-day free trial, and one subscription covers both ComputePrep and Deduce. Pro adds unlimited practice drills beyond the daily and the Ganak quant coach. Extra practice without Pro is metered — 5 drills a day signed out, 20 signed in — but the daily itself is never metered. The Speed Book PDF is a separate one-off ₹199.
Which exams does ComputePrep help with?
The quantitative-aptitude and numerical-ability sections of Indian competitive exams — IBPS PO and Clerk, SBI PO and Clerk, RBI Grade B, RRB and other railway exams, SSC CGL and CHSL. Any exam with a timed arithmetic section benefits, because the drills train calculation speed rather than one exam's syllabus.
Do I need an account to use ComputePrep?
No. Every drill is playable without signing up or giving an email address; your streak is kept against an anonymous session on your device. Signing in is optional and open to everyone — with Google, or with a passwordless code sent to your email. It carries your streak across devices, raises the practice meter from 5 drills a day to 20, and is what a Pro subscription attaches to.
How many drill types are there?
23, in two paths. The Vedic path has 7 technique drills; the Exam path has 16 paper drills, from percentages and DI to P&C and probability. One kind is served each day and the rotation cycles through all of them. See all 23 with their time limits →
How long do I get for each drill?
15 to 70 seconds, depending on the kind and difficulty — every limit is published. The question is downloaded before your clock starts, so a slow connection never eats your seconds.
What happens if the timer runs out?
The round closes itself and shows the correct answer with a full walkthrough, so you still get the method. An answer submitted after the buzzer is judged a timeout and scores zero — with a three-second network grace so a buzzer-beater is not robbed by a slow connection.
Is the timer enforced on the server?
No — and that is deliberate. Start time and elapsed time are both stamped on our server, and the deadline is judged there rather than in your browser. It is also why a drill has no shareable link: a URL would let someone read the question and come back later with the clock already spent.
How is the score calculated?
A correct answer scores a base by difficulty — 100 easy, 200 medium, 300 hard — plus a speed bonus of up to 150 that decays evenly to zero at the buzzer. Half the clock left, half the bonus. Wrong or late scores 0. Each drill also shows your rank among that day's solvers.
Do the questions repeat?
No. Every drill is generated fresh and verified by machine before it is served — the answer is computed from the printed expression, not written by hand. There is no fixed bank to memorise.
Is ComputePrep only vedic maths?
No. Seven of the 23 kinds are vedic techniques; the other sixteen are ordinary exam quant — percentages, DI, quadratic comparison, profit & loss, time & work, P&C, probability and more. The vedic drills are there because they make a 15-second answer physically possible, not as a separate subject. The seven shortcuts, worked →
How is this different from a question bank or a mock test?
A question bank teaches topics; a mock test measures a whole paper. ComputePrep trains one thing daily — how fast you compute under a real deadline — in about five minutes. Use it alongside your course or question bank, not instead of one.
Can I install ComputePrep on my phone?
Yes — it is a Progressive Web App. Open it in your mobile browser and choose Add to Home Screen. It opens full-screen like an app, with no app store and no download.
Does ComputePrep work offline?
No — you need a connection, because both the drill and its clock are served and judged on our server. That server-side clock is exactly what makes the score trustworthy.
What does ComputePrep have to do with Deduce?
Sister products from the same team, on the same puzzle engine. ComputePrep trains quant speed against a clock; Deduce trains logical reasoning across 29 reasoning puzzle types, where the goal is a provably correct answer rather than a fast one. Plenty of aspirants run both dailies back to back in about ten minutes.
Can a coaching institute use ComputePrep with its students?
Yes. The daily drills stay free for every student, and institutes can buy per-student seats that add a teacher console — roster, days practised, accuracy, average time and weakest topic — plus a weekly speed test and institute branding. Practice seats are ₹400 per student per year (₹250 for a 6-month batch seat) and Full seats ₹1,200 (₹750), ex-GST, with volume rates from 200 practice seats. A seat lifts the practice meter from 5 drills a day to 100; a Full seat adds 120 AI-coach questions a day. The first 10 practice seats are free for 90 days on one batch, one trial per institute. The same offer covers Deduce. Write to [email protected].
