Samarth Agrawal's A Compendium of Multiple Choice Questions for Judicial Service Examinations — Volume 2, Sixth Edition by Samarth Agrawal and Shreya Bhargava, both former Judges of the U.P. Judicial Service, published by Samarth Agrawal Books, is a subject-wise and chapter-wise bank of previous years' objective questions from State Civil Judge, Higher Judicial Service and APO examinations. English.

The Preliminary stage of every judicial service examination is won on breadth and accuracy under time, and the only material that reliably predicts it is what the commissions have already asked. This compendium is built from exactly that: more than 6,500 multiple choice questions drawn from roughly 30 examinations across 20 States, sorted first by subject and then by chapter, so a candidate revising the Transfer of Property Act can work through every question ever set on it rather than meeting them scattered across thirty papers.

The authors have also done the unglamorous work of de-duplication. Commissions repeat themselves heavily, and an unedited question bank is mostly the same question in thirty costumes. Similar questions here are clubbed, so the count reflects distinct testable points rather than volume for its own sake.

Volume 2 carries the civil and allied subjects together with the special and minor Acts — the half of the syllabus candidates most often leave until it is too late.

Why Choose This Book?

The chapter-wise arrangement is what sets this apart from a stack of previous-year papers. Objective preparation works best when revision of a topic ends with every question ever asked on that topic; it works worst when questions arrive in the random order of an exam paper. This book is organised for the first way of working.

The second reason is coverage of the minor Acts. Candidates prepare the Constitution, the CPC and the Contract Act thoroughly and then lose marks on the Arms Act, the Probation of Offenders Act or the PCPNDT Act — which the commissions keep asking about. Volume 2 gives those statutes the same treatment as the major ones.

The third is the authorship. Both authors sat in the U.P. Judicial Service before writing, which shows in the selection: the questions chosen are the ones that discriminate between candidates, not merely the ones that are easy to set.
