Memory Test स्मृति परीक्षण
The RRB ALP Memory Test is Test 1 of the CBAT, the psycho test after CBT 2. In the hall it is one of six kinds: House Position Test (1a), Figure to Number Test (1b), Railway Track Route Test (1c), Figure to Figure Test (1d), Figure Find Test (1e) or Vehicle & Signal Position Test (1f), the kind new in the railway's mock for CEN 01/2025. Each kind has two parts, each with a study stage and then a test stage. Kinds 1a, 1c and 1e give 24 questions in 8 minutes; 1b and 1d give 42 or 40 in 12 minutes; 1f gives 24 in 10 minutes on this portal, as 12 + 12 (6 in 4 minutes, as 3 + 3, in the railway's mock). The test measures how much you can hold in mind for a short while.
The study screen shows a map, picture-number pairs, pairs of shapes or sets of shapes under a Time Left clock. At zero it disappears and the questions open on a fresh screen. Each question offers four or five options; you click one and press Save & Next. This page gives the shared flow, a study method, the costly mistakes, a 7-day plan and common questions. Practice papers on the portal run with the hall's count and clock; one Full Mock is free after login.
स्मृति परीक्षण RRB ALP के साइको टेस्ट (CBAT) का पहला टेस्ट है, जो CBT 2 के बाद होता है। परीक्षा हॉल में यह छह प्रकारों में से किसी एक रूप में आता है: मकान स्थिति परीक्षण (1a), आकृति-अंक परीक्षण (1b), रेलवे ट्रैक रूट परीक्षण (1c), आकृति-आकृति परीक्षण (1d), आकृति खोज परीक्षण (1e) या वाहन व रेल संकेत स्थिति परीक्षण (1f), जो रेलवे के CEN 01/2025 के मॉक में नया है। हर प्रकार के दो भाग होते हैं और हर भाग में पहले याद करने का समय मिलता है, फिर सवाल आते हैं; 1a, 1c और 1e में 8 मिनट में 24 सवाल और 1b, 1d में 12 मिनट में 42 या 40 सवाल होते हैं; 1f में इस पोर्टल पर 10 मिनट में 24 सवाल (रेलवे मॉक में 4 मिनट में 6)।
The hall gives one kind for Test 1, with that kind's own count and clock (RDSO guideline, ALPs Guidelines CBT, Jan 2020). Kind 1f is set like 1a on this portal, 12 questions a part with half a minute more to study and to answer; the railway's mock test for CEN 01/2025 gave it 3 questions a part, 1 minute to study and 1 minute to answer, and says the hall's will vary. T-Score 42 or more is needed in this test, as in every test.

The 6 kinds of question in the Memory Testसवालों के प्रकार
In the hall, Test 1 appears as one kind only: House Position Test (1a), Figure to Number Test (1b), Railway Track Route Test (1c), Figure to Figure Test (1d), Figure Find Test (1e) or Vehicle & Signal Position Test (1f). In the last exam (CEN 01/2024) the hall gave the Figure Find Test, as the institute's records show. The railway's own mock test for CEN 01/2025 gives the new Vehicle & Signal Position Test.

How the test runs on screenस्क्रीन पर कैसे चलता है
- 1
Instruction screen
Each kind opens with its rules in Hindi and English and a worked example. This screen tells you which kind you have. On the portal it allows 5 minutes and can be skipped.
- 2
Study screen, Part 1
The material appears under its own Time Left clock. You get 2 minutes in House Position, Railway Track Route and Figure Find, 3 minutes in Figure to Number and Figure to Figure, and 2.5 minutes in Vehicle & Signal Position. Nothing can be written. At zero the screen closes and does not come back.
- 3
Test screen, Part 1
A fresh clock of the same length starts. Part 1 has 12 questions in the four 24-question kinds, 21 in Figure to Number and 20 in Figure to Figure. Map kinds ask the letter now shown at each house's, station's, vehicle's or signal's place. Figure to Number gives four options and Figure Find gives five sets to choose from. Click one; the click is kept at once, and the part closes on its clock or on Submit.
- 4
Part 2
A short break with a summary follows. Then Part 2 opens by itself: a second study screen under a fresh clock of the same length, then its own 12, 21 or 20 questions. In Vehicle & Signal Position, Part 2 is a railway map with rail signals after Part 1's street map with vehicles.
- 5
Submit and T-Score
Press Submit, or the clock submits for you at zero. On the portal your T-Score appears at once, with a review of every question and its answer. In a Full Mock a break with a summary follows, then Test 2.
The methodतरीका
- 1
Fix a reading order before you look
Decide the route your eyes will take before the screen opens. On a map go left to right and top to bottom; with pairs or sets, go one after another. Keep it on every pass; a fixed order makes each item's place part of the memory.
- 2
Name each item, then link it
Say every item under your breath as you reach it. Name each house by what stands near it, and each picture with its number. For pairs, add a link between the halves, a picture or a short story. A bare pair falls out of memory first.
- 3
Go round more than once
Walk every item once in order; walk it again adding each name or link; then return only to what slipped. Let the last round run until Time Left reaches zero.
- 4
Strike, then pick
Recall the item's name or link before you look at the options. Strike those you never saw or that break the link. Click the one left, press Save & Next and let it go. At 12.5 seconds or less a question, there is no room for a second look.
7 tips that raise the scoreसुझाव
1.Know your pace
You get 10 seconds a question in House Position, Railway Track Route and Figure Find, and 12.5 in Vehicle & Signal Position. Figure to Figure gives 9, Figure to Number under 9. Hold that pace from question 1; a slow start cannot be made up later in the part.
2.Tie every place to a landmark
In the map kinds the letters sit where the houses, stations, vehicles or signals stood. Fix each place by its neighbours on the map. Note the house beside another house, or the station before and after it on the track. Hold the route, not a list of separate points.
3.Give every pair a reason
In Figure to Number, read the number as one word with the picture and repeat the pair both ways. In Figure to Figure, see the two shapes as one object. The question asks for the exact partner, so a vague memory is not enough.
4.Keep the order inside a set
In Figure Find you must pick the set you studied from five options. Give each set a code word, one letter a shape, in the order the shapes stand. Check every option against the code before you click.
5.Treat Part 2 as a new paper
Part 2 has its own study screen and questions. Do not lean on what you remember from Part 1. Study the second screen from nothing, in the same fixed order.
6.Review where you lose items
The portal's review shows every question with its answer. After each paper, note where the lost items sat: far side of the map, last pairs, middle of a set. Give that spot an extra round of study next time.
7.Practise on a laptop or desktop
The portal works on a phone too, but the exam hall is a desktop screen with a mouse. Sit every practice paper and Full Mock on a laptop or desktop, so the screen, the mouse and the pace are the ones you will meet on the day.
Mistakes that cost marksगलतियाँ
- Taking in the study screen as one picture instead of reading it in a fixed order, then failing the place questions.
- Memorising the pictures of the Figure to Number Test but not their numbers, which every question asks for.
- Feeling ready after one pass and letting the rest of the study clock run unused.
- Leaning on Part 1 in Part 2 instead of studying the second screen from nothing.
- Preparing only the Figure Find Test because the last exam gave it, and meeting a map kind unprepared.
A 7-day plan for the Memory Test7 दिन की योजना
| Day | What to do |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Read the instruction screens of all six kinds on the portal. Work each example until you can give its answer without looking at it. |
| Day 2 | Map kinds. Sit one House Position Test paper, one Railway Track Route Test paper and one Vehicle & Signal Position Test paper without chasing the clock. Tie every house, station, vehicle or signal to a landmark. |
| Day 3 | Pair kinds. Sit one Figure to Number Test paper and one Figure to Figure Test paper, with a link for every pair. In the review, note which pairs you lost and why. |
| Day 4 | Set kind. Sit one Figure Find Test paper, giving every set a code word, one letter a shape. The last exam gave this kind, so sit a second attempt and compare the two T-Scores. |
| Day 5 | Pace. Sit one paper at full speed and reach the last question of both parts. Halfway through a part, half the clock should still be showing. |
| Day 6 | Free Full Mock on a laptop or desktop: all five tests in one sitting, in the order of the railway's mock. Compare the Test 1 T-Score on the scorecard with 42, the pass bar, and with 60, the Kautilya Classes target. |
| Day 7 | Second attempt of the kind that scored lowest; a paper allows up to 3 attempts, and the highest T-Score counts. Then rest; memory work needs a fresh head. |
Questions students askसवाल-जवाब
▸Which kind of Memory Test comes in the RRB ALP psycho test?
One of six; the instruction screen tells you on the day. The railway's mock for CEN 01/2025 gives the new Vehicle & Signal Position Test (1f). In the last exam (CEN 01/2024) the hall gave the Figure Find Test, as the institute's records show.
▸How many questions are in the ALP Memory Test?
House Position, Railway Track Route and Figure Find: 24 questions in 8 minutes, as 12 + 12. Figure to Number: 42 in 12 minutes, as 21 + 21. Figure to Figure: 40 in 12 minutes, as 20 + 20. Vehicle & Signal Position: 24 in 10 minutes on this portal, as 12 + 12, with 2.5 minutes to study and 2.5 to answer a part; the railway's mock gave 6 in 4 minutes, as 3 + 3, and says the count will vary in the actual exam.
▸Memory test kaise hota hai: what does the screen show?
First a study screen: a map with houses, stations, vehicles or rail signals, pictures with numbers, pairs or sets of shapes. Then each question asks for one thing you studied and gives four or five options. Click the one that matches and press Save & Next.
▸Can I see the study screen again, or write anything down?
No. When its clock reaches zero the study screen is gone for that part. Part 2 has its own study screen with its own clock. Nothing can be written; your memory is the only store.
▸Is the Memory Test the first test of the CBAT?
Yes. It is Test 1 of five and comes before the Following Directions Test. The free Full Mock runs the five tests in the order of the railway's mock for CEN 01/2025: Memory, Depth Perception, Power of Observation, Following Directions, Perceptual Speed.
▸What does the Memory Test measure?
Short recall under a clock. It asks where a house, station, vehicle or signal stood, what went with each picture, and which shapes made a set. What you did not fix in the study stage cannot be found later.
▸Is there negative marking in the RRB ALP psycho test?
No. The CBAT has no negative marking. Attempt every question; an unanswered question is a mark lost for certain.
▸What T-Score do I need to pass?
A T-Score of at least 42 in each of the five tests of the CBAT. The portal shows your T-Score on every paper the moment you submit, measured against everyone who sat it.
▸Can I practise on my phone?
Yes, the portal runs on a phone. But the CBAT is taken on a desktop with a mouse, so Kautilya Classes advises every student to sit the practice papers and Full Mocks on a laptop or desktop: the same screen, the same mouse, the same pace as the hall.
▸How do I practise this test on the portal?
Every account gets one free Full Mock after login: all five tests in one sitting with the hall's timing and a scorecard with your T-Score in each test. Practice papers of every kind, with the hall's count and clock, come with a Kautilya Classes package. New students message the team on WhatsApp; Kautilya Classes students get their login from the institute.
सारांश (हिंदी में)
स्मृति परीक्षण RRB ALP साइको टेस्ट का पहला टेस्ट है और परीक्षा हॉल में इसके छह प्रकारों में से एक ही आता है। मकान स्थिति, रेलवे ट्रैक रूट और आकृति खोज परीक्षण में 8 मिनट में 24 सवाल होते हैं, आकृति-अंक परीक्षण में 12 मिनट में 42 सवाल और आकृति-आकृति परीक्षण में 12 मिनट में 40 सवाल। हर प्रकार में पहले याद करने की स्क्रीन आती है, जो घड़ी शून्य होते ही बंद हो जाती है और वापस नहीं आती, फिर सवाल आते हैं; यही क्रम दूसरे भाग में अपनी स्क्रीन और अपनी घड़ी के साथ दोहराया जाता है। याद करते समय एक तय क्रम रखें, हर चीज़ का नाम मन में बोलें, जोड़ों को किसी कड़ी से बाँधें और घड़ी का पूरा समय इस्तेमाल करें। संस्थान के रिकॉर्ड के अनुसार पिछली परीक्षा (CEN 01/2024) में आकृति खोज परीक्षण आया था; CEN 01/2025 के रेलवे मॉक लिंक में वाहन व रेल संकेत स्थिति परीक्षण (1f) है, इसलिए उसे सबसे पहले करें, पर छहों की तैयारी करें। पोर्टल पर लॉगइन के बाद एक फुल मॉक मुफ़्त है, हर प्रैक्टिस पेपर में परीक्षा हॉल की गिनती और घड़ी है, और जमा करते ही T-Score और हर सवाल का हल मिलता है।
