Without notes, fill a 28-row grid with district number, name and headquarters. Circle the five headquarters you most often confuse. On the current map, identify Polavaram and Markapuram and explain why a 2022 26-district count differs from the 2026 count. A historical map can remain useful for its own date without answering today's jurisdiction question.

Choose one north-coastal, one Godavari, one Krishna-corridor, one south-coastal and one Rayalaseema district. For each, write a river or landform, a heritage or economic anchor, and the source that verifies its current headquarters. Keep map point, district polygon and project command separate. Do not transfer an old census total to a newly split district without reaggregation.

Solve ten mixed district MCQs under time. Classify each error as location, headquarters, parent-district vintage or anchor mismatch. Recheck the Integrated Government Online Directory, APSDMA layer and relevant district page for any changing administrative detail before the exam. Repeat the blank map until you can recover all 28 without cues.
