Thank you@Shailputri
Shailputri,
I do not understand the logic behind having 1 week full of tests from Ancient-medieval-Art and culture section when more important sections like ENVIRONMENT , ECONOMY or SCIENCE and TECH have almost 15-20 questions coming from them every year. Is it not possible to have Economy or Environment next week and Ancient history in the last week of SFG ( September 1st week ) ?@forumiasacademy @farejul

Similar to Q.No. 20 in today's test, if the question asks about 1919 Act, would statement 1 i.e It introduced responsible form of government, be correct?
Arguments against:
As per the solution, it should be no. Also in Spectrum it is written - there was no fulfilment of the demand for responsible government.
Arguments For:
But, one of the recommendation of Simon Commission was - 'responsible government be extended in the provinces' and in wikipedia it is written - 'it began the genesis of responsible government in India'.

You are right about 1919 Act introducing responsible govt in provinces.
But the question here is about 1909 which did not introduce any responsible govt.

Is a new video to be uploaded? Because I am facing issues viewing the recorded video as well. It is jerky and difficult to view. Anybody else facing this?
@farejul Do we need to join simulator tests separately or are they open to all SFG students at the end [12-18 Sept]?
TH14,@farejul Do we need to join simulator tests separately or are they open to all SFG students at the end [12-18 Sept]?
You have to purchase separately for simulator test series.
