I’d like to request you to visit http://www.psexam.com for the multiple choice questions of operating systems, data structure, data communication, networking, database etc if they prove to be useful.

At the same time, I’d like to request not to forget that I’m a single man trying to compile and present as much as possible computer study materials. Thus it won’t be possible to fulfill all of your necessities right now. But, if we could build up a community and help each other sharing resources whatever we have, it will develop as a good stop for computer studies.

I’ll be presenting more in comming days and wish you best of luck in your studies.

Dear Puskar,

I am trying hard as much as I can, to help the computer science students and those who are preparing computer jobs exam. Because PS Exam is handled by me only it is a bit lot of work for one man. Sometimes, the file might get corrupted resulting failure download. I’m updating, replacing and fixing links as soon as somebody notifies me. I’m thankful to all those who reminded me of the problems on the site.

I had to switch to this New PS Exam (http://new.psexam.com) from PS Exam (http://www.psexam.com) Because the Joomla platform was bit difficult for me to interact with the users.

Regarding the trusty, you can look back at http://www.psexam.com which is online and helping students since last two years. I assert you that the materials present here are correct up to my knowledge and no guaranty of any sort is provided. You will use the materials on your own discretion.

Concerned about advertisement, I have stated that this site uses advertisements from third parties such as Adsense, Infolinks and others. These advertisements are the source of earning for me to pay the cost of hosting, renew domain name and anything left as a reward for my time and effort.

I liked you to put the things straight forward. I’m happy to know you are preparing for Public Service Examination. I’ll try to help you up to my ability.

Thank you. Best of luck.

I ask you to put your problem more clearly. Help you to download OS QA means what? You should have an email sent to you that contains a download link. Just right click the link and choose ‘Save target as’ (for internet explorer) or ‘Save link as’ (for Firefox). You should be able to download the book.

Feel free to reply this comment if you still find problem. Put bit more detail, so that I can understand your problem in download and help you better.

It was very funny though, sorry for the inconvenience caused. I did not noticed but its the copy paste error when composing returning mail. The text on link was correct with wrong link.
