## Key Features & Capabilities
1. **Interactive Timed Mock Exams**: Choose between Per-Question countdown timer (10s to 120s) or Full-Length Exam countdown (e.g., 10 to 60 minutes) to master time management.
2. **Realistic Negative Marking**: Calibrated penalty schemes for SSC/RRB (-0.25), Bank PO (-0.33), GATE (-1.0), and UPSC, accurately reflecting competitive exam scoring.
3. **Multi-Topic Test Builder**: Select any combination of 35+ subtopics across Arithmetic, Reasoning, Verbal, and Programming into a single randomized test pool of 5 to 50 questions.
4. **Strict Serial vs. Free Navigation**: Toggle between Free navigation (jump to any question) and Strict Serial order (must answer/skip sequentially without going back), replicating TCS NQT and modern proctored test constraints.
