ThunderTest FAQ

ThunderTest (powered by ThunderStudy) is India's leading 100% free Computer-Based Test (CBT) mock exam simulation and student analytics platform. It was developed to give students across Class 12 Boards, CUET, JEE, NEET, SSC, Banking, CAT, CLAT, and NDA access to world-class test preparation without commercial coaching fees.

ThunderTest is built and maintained by Wondermayank, a solo student developer from India who has been coding free educational tools, open resources, and learning platforms since 2018.

No. ThunderTest is an independent, non-commercial educational technology platform created for student practice and revision. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by NTA, CBSE, SSC, IBPS, or any government body.

Millions of Indian students cannot afford expensive test series subscriptions, so ThunderTest provides identical or superior CBT testing tools completely free.
