How to access Log in on the SSC website with your registration number and password. In the challenge module, questions and options appear in one common order for everyone in a shift, which may differ from the order you saw in the exam, but the answers you chose are shown as you marked them.
What to do next Check your responses against the key and work out your likely score. If you think an answer is wrong, submit your challenge online before 9 pm on 7 November 2026; late challenges, or those sent any other way, will not be considered. The Commission says the response sheets and keys will not be available after the window closes and individual requests will not be entertained.
