IITM BS week wise test
IITM BS week wise tests, for the evening after the lecture.
A four-hour mock is the wrong tool for a Tuesday. A week wise test is one week of one subject, drawn from every published year at once — short enough to take after a lecture, and specific enough that the report is about something you can fix tonight.

What is a week wise test, and why practise IITM BS by week?
A week wise test is a timed test scoped to one week of one subject, assembled from every released year at once rather than from a single paper. It works because the IIT Madras BS Data Science course is itself organised into 12 weeks, and the assessments follow that structure — Quiz 1 sits on the opening weeks, Quiz 2 on the middle ones, and the End Term on all of them. Every question on Prasnya carries the week it came from, so "Week 6 of Mathematics 2" is a route holding every published question on that week, and starting it as a test takes minutes rather than hours. The practical value is that it matches how you actually study: you finish a week's lectures, you test that week, and the report tells you before you move on whether it landed. Coverage is genuinely uneven across the twelve — the released papers cluster on the early and middle weeks — so the table on this page states what is published in each rather than implying twelve equal ones. Prasnya is independent and not affiliated with IIT Madras.
The coverage
What is published in each of the 12 weeks
Measured across every subject and both released paper sets. This is the only place on the site that states it, and it is worth reading before you plan revision: the weeks are not equally examined.
- Week 1 · English 2465 questions · 8 subjects
- Week 2 · English 1496 questions · 8 subjects
- Week 3 · English 1344 questions · 8 subjects
- Week 4 · Mathematics 2307 questions · 7 subjects
- Week 5 · English 1368 questions · 8 subjects
- Week 6 · English 1472 questions · 7 subjects
- Week 7 · Mathematics 1172 questions · 6 subjects
- Week 8 · English 1312 questions · 6 subjects
- Week 9 · English 225 questions · 2 subjects
- Week 10 · English 210 questions · 1 subjects
- Week 11 · English 235 questions · 2 subjects
- Week 12 · English 222 questions · 2 subjects
Counts are field-wide for that week; each row opens the subject with the deepest coverage of it. Weeks 9 to 12 are thin because the released papers ask less there, not because the material is missing — every subject's own week list is on its subject page.
The habit
Why a short test beats a long one, most of the time
The case for full-length mocks is real but narrow: they train stamina and whole-paper triage, and you need a handful of them before an exam. The case against taking them often is arithmetic. A four-hour attempt plus a serious review is most of a day, so you will do it perhaps five times a term — five data points about a twelve-week syllabus.
A week wise test is fifteen minutes and produces the same report. Take one after each week's lectures and by the end of term you have twelve to twenty data points, each attached to a specific week, gathered while the material was still fresh enough to repair cheaply.
The reports compound, too. Because every attempt is filed against the week it tested, the analysis surface can show movement over time rather than a series of unrelated scores — and when a week comes back weak, the level below it is already a route: 304 topics and 660 subtopics, each its own even shorter test.
The subjects
Week routes in all 8 subjects
Each subject opens on its own question list, with its weeks as routes inside it.
- Mathematics 113 week routes
- Mathematics 212 week routes
- English 114 week routes
- English 219 week routes
- Statistics 113 week routes
- Statistics 211 week routes
- Computational Thinking11 week routes
- Programming in Python8 week routes
Week routes are counted across both released paper sets, which is why several subjects show more than twelve — a subject examined in both Quiz 1 and Quiz 2 has its weeks published under each.
The route
The weekly loop
Four steps, repeated. The whole point is that it is cheap enough to repeat.
Finish the week
Lectures watched, assignment submitted, material nominally covered.
Test it
One week of one subject, every published year at once, on a clock. Minutes, not hours.
Read the report
Accuracy, marks lost, time against the time each question deserved, and the attempt-quality split.
Repair or move on
If the week is clean, move on. If it is not, the weak topic is named and is its own shorter test.

The questions
Questions students ask
- What is an IITM BS week wise test?
- A timed test scoped to one week of one subject, assembled from every released year at once rather than from a single paper. It takes minutes rather than hours and returns the same analysis report a full mock does.
- Can I take a test for a specific week, like Week 5 of Statistics 1?
- Yes. Every question carries its week number, so each week of each subject is its own route and its own timed test. Coverage varies by week — the table on this page shows exactly how much is published in each of the 12.
- Why do some weeks have far fewer questions than others?
- Because the released papers ask about them less. Weeks 1 to 8 carry the bulk of what has been examined, and Weeks 9 to 12 are comparatively thin. That reflects the published papers, not a gap in the transcription — and it is useful information when deciding where revision time goes.
- Do week wise tests need a paid plan?
- Every new account gets 1 day of full Pro-level access with no card required. After that, week mocks are part of Plus with one start included, and Pro removes the start caps and adds topic and subtopic tests below the week level.
- Is Prasnya an official IIT Madras website?
- No. Prasnya is an independent practice platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to IIT Madras or any examination body. It takes officially released previous year questions and makes them practisable in a structured way.
- What does it cost, and is there a free trial?
- Every new account gets 1 day of full Pro-level access with no card required. After that, plans are one payment for one month of access — nothing recurring and no card stored. Go covers subject and week wise practice; Plus adds paper, subject, section and week mocks with basic analysis; Pro adds topic and subtopic mocks, unlimited starts, advanced analysis and question-by-question solution review.
- Does it work on a phone?
- Yes. Practice, timed mocks and analysis are all built mobile-first, and the mathematics is typeset with KaTeX rather than served as screenshots, so it stays legible and selectable on a small screen.
Twelve small tests beat five big ones, for eleven weeks out of twelve.
Start with the free day, test the week you just finished, and find out tonight rather than in the quiz.
