About this course
The Sherlocking Simulator — skill is built one answer at a time, but the exam asks for a whole paper at once, under a clock that does not wait. This is where you put the paper together before it counts: ten full-length tests on the real pattern, each returned by the AWE engine, plus one personal call with Neil Sir to set your strategy straight. Timing, selection and stamina are not solved on exam day. They are solved in practice, on papers that feel exactly like the real thing — so the only new thing in the hall is the date.
Built and taught by Neil Sir — HCS 2021, Rank 93.
How it works
Write → Diagnose → Rehearse. Write a full paper, fully timed; diagnose it with AWE evaluation and weak-subject diagnostics; then rehearse the real Mains shape, before the real day.
Write
A full paper, fully timed
Diagnose
AWE evaluation + weak-subject diagnostics
Rehearse
The real Mains shape, before the real day
What's included
- Ten full-length papers, fully timed, on the real exam pattern — learn which question to attempt first, when to stop and move on, and how to hold your nerve to the last answer
- A deployable model answer for every test, written to the limits and ready to use as-is
- The same AWE engine on every test, so the lesson lands while the paper is still fresh
- Weak-subject diagnostics, so your revision goes exactly where it is needed, not where it feels comfortable
- One personal call with Neil sir, yours to use at the moment it will help you most
Two sets, ten papers
10 full-length tests · 2 sets · 2,500 marks
- Set 1 — five papers: Essay and GS1 to GS4 as single papers, spaced out, each followed by weak-subject diagnostics
- Set 2 — five papers: the same five in the real Mains shape — Essay on Day 1, GS1 and GS2 on Day 2, GS3 and GS4 on Day 3, the full dress rehearsal
- A deployable model answer for every test, written to the limits and ready to use as-is
More than practice — a prediction engine
- The Simulator is built from where the exam is heading, not just where it has been
- Every paper is set on the themes most likely to be asked — ancillary insight to tackle anything adjacent, plus a fair share of direct hits
- Set and graded to the UPSC rubric by Neil sir, HCS 2021, Rank 93

Evaluation
The UnlockIAS AWE engine
Every test you write comes back through the AWE engine — Answer Writing Evaluation, built in-house on how Neil Sir grades to the UPSC rubric — so the lesson lands while the paper is still fresh. Alongside it, weak-subject diagnostics show exactly where your revision should go next.
Who it's for
- Aspirants who can build a single answer but have never put a whole 250-mark paper together under the clock
- Candidates who lose marks to timing, question selection and stamina rather than to content
- Anyone who wants the full dress rehearsal — 2,500 marks written under the real clock, before UPSC sets a single one
Frequently asked questions
What is the Sherlocking Test Series Module?
It is the UnlockIAS full-length test series for UPSC Mains — the Sherlocking Simulator. Ten fully-timed papers (Essay and GS1–GS4, in two sets) on the real exam pattern, each with a deployable model answer, AWE engine evaluation and weak-subject diagnostics, plus one personal call with Neil Sir. Validity is one year.
How are the two sets structured?
Set 1 runs Essay and GS1–GS4 as five spaced single papers, each followed by weak-subject diagnostics. Set 2 repeats the five papers in the real Mains shape — Essay on Day 1, GS1 and GS2 on Day 2, GS3 and GS4 on Day 3 — the full dress rehearsal. In all, 2,500 marks written under the clock.
Can I see the question papers before enrolling?
Yes — all ten question papers are free to read and download as printable question-cum-answer booklets on the UPSC Mains Mock Test page. The module adds what the free papers cannot: model answers written to the limits, AWE evaluation of every test, diagnostics, and the 1-to-1 call.
How is each test evaluated?
Every paper you write is returned by the AWE engine — the in-house Answer Writing Evaluation built on how Neil Sir grades to the UPSC rubric — with weak-subject diagnostics so your revision goes exactly where it is needed. The papers themselves are set and graded to the UPSC rubric by Neil Sir (HCS 2021, Rank 93).
Is this module included in the full Mains programme?
Yes. The same Sherlocking Test Series is the Deploy stage of the Sherlocking Mains Comprehensive Module, which adds the GS1–GS4 video course, Daily Answer Writing, SPARK Labs and live mentorship. This standalone module is for aspirants who only need the full-length tests.
How much does the test series cost?
The Sherlocking Test Series Module is ₹7,009 (down from ₹14,009, 50% off) with one year of validity. It is also included inside the Sherlocking Mains Comprehensive Module at ₹24,999.
