PhD Research Methodology Daily 10

How Daily 10 works

A new set opens every day at midnight India time (IST), and it is the same for everyone that day. It takes one item from each of the 10 topic groups, 9 single questions and 1 passage set, drawn from all 3 of our practice papers: 14 questions a day. A topic group shows an item again only after every other item of that topic group has had its day.

Choose an answer and check it: you see at once whether it is right, the correct option and an explanation. There is no timer. You can stop and come back later the same day, and your answers are still there; a set you did not finish is not kept for the next day.

Finish the day's set and your daily streak grows by one; miss a day and it starts again from one. The streak and your answers stay in this browser. We receive only that the Daily 10 was opened and finished, with the band of the score.

The topic groups it covers

• Topic group 1: Research: concepts and types
• Topic group 2: Research problem and hypothesis
• Topic group 3: Research design
• Topic group 4: Sampling
• Topic group 5: Data collection and measurement
• Topic group 6: Descriptive and inferential statistics
• Topic group 7: Qualitative methods
• Topic group 8: Research ethics, plagiarism and referencing
• Topic group 9: Report writing
• Topic group 10: Computer applications in research

Daily 10 is a warm-up, not a mock test. A full paper of 50 questions with a 60-minute clock is on the PhD Research Methodology page, and topic group practice takes one topic group at a time.
