Is there negative marking in RPF SI?
Yes. RPF SI deducts marks for wrong answers in every section (−0.33 per wrong answer). Unanswered questions carry no penalty, so skip questions you cannot eliminate options for.
How should I cover the RPF SI syllabus?
Work section by section: master one subject at a time with topic-wise practice, then combine sections in full-length mock tests under the real 90-minute timer. Analytics from each mock show which syllabus areas leak marks, so your revision targets weak topics instead of re-reading everything.
