Everything you need to use Suomoto effectively — from signing in for the first time to taking a full mock test, all through voice and keyboard.

1. Overview and Getting Started

What is Suomoto?

Suomoto is India's first fully audio-guided, keyboard-driven learning platform for all competitive exam aspirants preparing for SSC, IBPS, banking, railways, and government competitive exams. Every feature works through voice and keyboard — no mouse, no sighted help required.

The platform is built around the 4PI Model: Prepare → Practise → Progress → Perform — all Independently.

4. How to Use: Prepare

Prepare is where you build your concepts — phase by phase, topic by topic. All content is audio-guided. Suo will walk you through every slide.

  • 1

    Open Prepare

    Press Alt+P from anywhere, or click the Prepare card on the Home page.

  • 2

    Select Your Subject

    Choose from: Quantitative Aptitude, Reasoning, English, General Awareness.

  • 3

    Choose a Chapter

    Chapters are organised phase-wise — Basic to Advanced. Start from Phase 1 if you are beginning fresh.

  • 4

    Select a Topic or Simulator

    Some topics have interactive simulators (BODMAS, Mental Addition, Tables, Approximation). Simulators are the most immersive way to learn.

  • 5

    Move Through Concept Slides

    Each slide is read aloud automatically. Press Right Arrow or Space to advance. Press Left Arrow or P to go back. You control the pace.

  • 6

    Begin the Assessment

    At the last slide, press Right Arrow or Space to begin the topic assessment.

The No Pen-and-Paper Approach

Every module teaches you to solve problems in your head — using mental tricks, Vedic math, and patterns. This is intentional and is your greatest advantage:

  • Vedic mental calculation tricks build deep memory retention, calculation agility, and high speed.
  • Mental methods build speed and accuracy that pen-dependent methods cannot match in high-pressure tests.
  • In actual computer-based exams, mental calculation and keyboard agility give you an unbeatable advantage.

5. How to Use: Practise

Practise is where concepts become speed and accuracy. Every wrong answer is explained immediately — whether right or wrong, you always learn something.

  • 1

    Open Practise

    Press Alt+T from anywhere, or click the Practise card on the Home page.

  • 2

    Choose Subject and Topic

    Select the subject and the specific topic you want to practise.

  • 3

    Choose Difficulty

    Easy → Medium → Hard. Always complete Easy before moving to Medium for any new topic.

  • 4

    Answer Each Question

    Press 1, 2, 3, or 4 to select. Press Enter to confirm. The explanation is spoken immediately — listen even when correct, it often contains a faster trick.

  • 5

    Move Forward

    Press N for next question. Press R to repeat the current question.

Practise Tips

  • Do at least 20 Easy questions on a topic before moving to Medium.
  • Listen to every explanation — the trick it contains often saves minutes per question.
  • Your accuracy per topic is saved automatically to your Progress dashboard.
  • If accuracy on a topic falls below 70%, Suomoto adds extra practise in your weekly schedule.

6. How to Use: Progress

Progress is your personal performance command centre. Everything you have studied is measured, tracked, and used to make your next session smarter.

What the Dashboard Shows

  • AccuracyPercentage of correct answers per topic and overall.
  • Weak AreasTopics where your accuracy is below your average — automatically flagged.
  • Study StreakConsecutive days you studied — your consistency tracker.
  • ScheduleYour auto-generated personalised weekly study schedule.
  • LeaderboardYour rank among all Suomoto aspirants — filter by state, city, or exam.

Setting Up Your Exam Preference

The most important personalisation step. Go to Profile (Alt+U) and:

  • 1

    Select Your Target Exam

    Example: SSC CGL, IBPS PO, RBI Grade B. Filters your content, schedule, and alerts.

  • 2

    Set Your Target Exam Date

    Suomoto uses this to calibrate how intensive your schedule should be.

  • 3

    Your Schedule is Generated

    A week-by-week plan, updated automatically every week based on your progress.

On Notifications

All exam notifications are on the Exam Updates page. Your preferred exam is highlighted automatically — so you never miss what matters most to you.

7. How to Use: Perform

Perform is where you test yourself under real exam conditions — 100 questions, 60 minutes, −0.5 negative marking. Treat every mock test as the real exam.

  • 1

    Open Perform

    Press Alt+M from anywhere, or click the Perform card on the Home page.

  • 2

  • 4

    Hear Your Result

Mock Test Strategy Tips

  • Attempt Easy and Medium questions first — skip Hard and return if time allows.
  • Negative marking is −0.5 per wrong answer. Do not guess if you have no idea.
  • After each mock test, go to Practise and work specifically on topics where you lost the most marks.
  • Your mock test scores in the Progress dashboard show your improvement over time.
