Mostly the last 12 months. We measured 468 past APPSC questions that came from a news event and counted how old that news was on the exam day.
| Exam | Last 12 months | 12 to 24 months | Older |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 Prelims | 73% | 9% | 18% |
| Group 2 Screening | 82% | 15% | 4% |
| Group 2 Mains | 56% | 16% | 28% |
| Group 1 Mains | 55% | 25% | 20% |
Most of the older questions are about schemes that are still running. That is why the schemes list covers every running scheme, whatever year it started.
Group 2 follows the same rule from its exam date, once APPSC announces it. For Group 2 Mains we add two years of Andhra Pradesh news, because that paper asks about the state much more.
Each news item passes seven stations: collect, check, select, file, write, release and correct. The machine below runs all of them without stopping.
CollectEvery morning at 7 we read Government Orders, government press releases and the Telugu papers.
CheckA fact goes in only when an official record confirms it. Newspapers help us find news. They do not confirm it.
SelectWe keep what APPSC can ask, judged from its past papers. Andhra Pradesh comes first.
FileEach fact is filed as one card with one ID. We check it once and use it everywhere.
WriteEvery card is written in English and Telugu. A native reader checks the Telugu.
ReleaseBLOOM Weekly Current Affairs comes out every Sunday at 10 am. BLOOM Monthly Current Affairs and its 30-question exam come out on the 3rd of every month.
CorrectIf we find an error after release, we fix the same card and show the correction to learners.
These are our target dates up to Group 1 Prelims on Sunday 24 January 2027. The weekly issue and the chapter tests come out every Sunday in between.
