Expert take: what Kerala PSC LDC really tests
Kerala PSC’s LDC is a 10th-standard-level clerical exam, and its defining feature is repetition: Kerala PSC recycles a large share of questions, so previous-year questions are the single most valuable resource. It is a single 100-question paper with 1/3 negative marking, and Kerala-specific GK (including the Kerala Renaissance) plus steady arithmetic practice are where the marks are reliably found.
Preparation tips
- Solve huge volumes of Kerala PSC previous-year questions — they repeat heavily.
- Study Kerala-specific GK, especially the Renaissance and state history.
- Mind the 1/3 negative marking; answer only when reasonably sure.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Skipping previous-year questions, which recur far more than in most exams.
- Guessing carelessly and losing marks to the negative marking.
