Frequently Asked Questions

Is Scholar Donkey really free?

Yes. Every note, PYQ, mock test, NCERT resource, and article on Scholar Donkey is free and does not require creating an account or paying anything, ever.

Do I need to sign up to attempt a mock test?

No. All mock tests run entirely in your browser - no login, no signup, and no data is sent to a server.

Current affairs are updated regularly, and notes, PYQs, and NCERT resources are reviewed and expanded on an ongoing basis across all 23 exam categories.

Can I download notes and PYQs as PDF?

Yes. Every note, PYQ, and blog post has a Download PDF button that generates a clean, print-ready PDF of the full article directly in your browser.

Which exams does Scholar Donkey cover?

23 exam categories in total, spanning Indian government exams (UPSC, SSC, Banking, Railway, State PSC), engineering & medical entrances (JEE, NEET, GATE), management exams (CAT, CPA, CFA), and international tests (IELTS, GRE, TOEFL, GMAT, SAT, ACT, MCAT, USMLE).

Do you have NCERT books and solutions?

Yes. We have a dedicated NCERT hub covering Class 1 to Class 12, including the latest syllabus books, subject-wise chapter listings, and solutions for popular chapters, alongside links to download the official NCERT PDFs.

Are the mock tests based on the real exam pattern?

Yes. Every mock test uses the same CBT interface as the real NTA/government exam portals - a question palette, Save & Next, Mark for Review, a countdown timer, and instant scoring with explanations.

Does the mock test go full screen?

Yes. As soon as you click Proceed to start a test, it automatically switches to full screen to reduce distractions, just like the real exam. You can exit any time using the full-screen toggle in the toolbar.

Is my mock test data saved or sent anywhere?

No. Mock tests are entirely client-side - your answers, timer, and score are calculated in your browser and never leave your device or get stored on our servers.

Can I use Scholar Donkey on my phone?

Yes. The entire site, including notes, PYQs, and mock tests, is fully responsive and works smoothly on mobile browsers. You can also install it as an app (PWA) from your browser's "Add to Home Screen" option.

Does the website work in dark mode?

Yes. Use the sun/moon toggle in the navbar to switch between light and dark mode. Your preference is remembered automatically for future visits.

How do I search for a specific topic?

Use the search bar in the navbar or the dedicated Search page - it searches across all notes, PYQs, mock tests, blog posts, and current affairs instantly as you type.

Are answer keys and explanations provided for PYQs?

Yes. Previous year question papers include the correct answers, and where applicable, detailed explanations to help you understand the reasoning behind each answer.

Is the content accurate and well-sourced?

We reference official exam authority notifications, NCERT curricula, and verified current affairs sources while writing notes and PYQs, and we welcome corrections via the Contact page if you spot an error.

Can I access notes and PYQs offline?

Downloaded PDFs can be saved and read offline. The website itself requires an internet connection, though your browser may cache recently visited pages.

Do you cover foreign university admissions too?

Yes. Alongside Indian universities (IITs, NITs, IIMs, central and state universities), we maintain a directory of top-ranked foreign universities along with the international exams (SAT, GRE, IELTS, etc.) typically required for admission.

How is Scholar Donkey different from other exam prep sites?

No login walls, no paywalls, no intrusive pop-ups - just direct access to structured notes, PYQs, NCERT material, and realistic mock tests, organized by exam so you can find what you need quickly.

How do I report an error or request new content?

Use the Contact page to send feedback, report an inaccuracy, or request notes/PYQs for a topic we haven't covered yet - we regularly expand the site based on reader requests.
