Hello, I am planning to join Insights Test series 2015, conducted by insightsonindia.com. Seniors, who have taken their tests, please review it. Kindly suggest alternatives, if you think there are better ones than Insights tests. Alternatives could be online tests by other coaching centres.
Insights test series is one of the best test series for prelims (GS 1) , The only problem was its availablity in pdf format only, so you can't compare your performance with other aspirants.
Apart from Insights, you can go for gktoday.in. But I will recommend you to join both of them as they complete each other rather than replacing each other.
one- very good questions. sometimes lengthier. covers the syllabus comprehensively two- you get readymade notes and links in the solution pdf provided. superb! in total around 800 pages of explanation

Extremely helpful in preparation and have great focus on basics, NCERT
too much focus on India year book. and some questions were so absurd - they would just pick up a line from a recommended text and ask true or false when the line was an opinion not an actual fact!
I did the free test offered by firumias . that was decent.
The test series by insights is one of the best ones available right now and the cost is also reasonable .
Their questions were good and I liked their idea of carving out tests from NCERTs .Its only due to this series that I was able to complete the relevant NCERTs .It provided the much needed motivation to complete NCERTs .
I will surely join their 2015 series too and this time they are starting early .I think around September they will start a Prelim test series .Any sincere aspirant should definitely join this test series .
So, Do you suggest both Gktoday and Insights tests? I also find Forumias has a test series. Review please
@Devika Yes, I do recommend both gktoday and insights test series. As far as Forumias test series for pre 2014 is concerned, i found it of very poor standard. It lacks seriousness on the part of content developers. No proper solutions were there. I do not recommend it to anyone.
