How to use this pack
Who this pack is for
Anyone revising the compulsory papers, and anyone sitting the MPT, who wants to find out what they actually remember rather than what they recognise. It assumes no other book and needs no account.
What is inside
One thousand questions in a single free PDF, numbered straight through and divided into four parts: Pakistan Affairs as questions 1 to 250, Current Affairs as 251 to 500 with 150 on Pakistan and 100 international, Islamiat as 501 to 750, and General Science as 751 to 1000. Every question carries its answer.
How it lines up with what you are preparing for
These are the subject areas the compulsory papers and the MPT draw on, so the same book serves two different jobs. If you are revising one compulsory subject, work through that part on its own. If you are checking whether you are ready for the MPT, take questions from all four parts in one sitting, because that is how the test will come at you.
The continuous numbering makes that easy to track. You can record where you stopped, and which ranges you have not touched, without keeping a separate list.
Use it to test, not to read
A question bank read like a textbook teaches very little. Its value is in being wrong on paper, early, while there is still time to do something about it.
- Cover the answers and attempt a set of about 25 without looking anything up.
- Mark every question you were unsure of, including the ones you got right by guessing. Those are the answers that will move your score.
- Only then check the answers.
- For each one you missed, revise the topic around it rather than memorising the single fact. The paper is as likely to ask the neighbouring question.
Go back to what you missed
A question you got wrong once and never saw again is a question you will get wrong again. Keep a short list of your misses and return to it after a day, after a week and after a month.
Three brief returns are worth more than one long re-read, and together they take less time. This is also the part most candidates skip, which is why the same gaps survive months of preparation.
What this is not
It is not a syllabus and it is not a replacement for studying the subjects. A thousand questions can show you where your recall is thin; they cannot build the understanding a 20-mark written answer needs, and objective practice does not teach you to structure an argument. Use this to audit your preparation, then go back to your notes for whatever the audit exposes.
