Questions

Paper practice FAQs

Is this an official CSS MPT past paper? +

No. This is a practice set from a Sir Adnan booklet titled 'MPT EDS' (Everyday Science MCQs, PPSC/FPSC New Trend 2025-26). It is labelled as practice in the title, slug and paperType, and the year 2026 is the booklet's label, not a claimed exam session.

How many questions are published? +

All 20 printed items are published, each with a verified answer and explanation. The booklet prints no question numbers, so printedNo is the item's position in the booklet (1-20).

Why are the options authored rather than printed? +

The booklet prints each one-liner with its answer only and no options. Under Anas's 2026-10-28 single-format decision, the 3 distractors per item are authored so the list works in the standard MCQ practice format; optionsSource is recorded as 'authored' and the answers themselves are the verified standard answers.

Were any printed answers corrected? +

No. All 20 printed answers agree with the standard answer (hemoglobin, barometer, diamond, washing soda, vitamin D, carbon dioxide, ampere, chlorine, nitrogen, Mars, liver, hygrometer, genetics, K, crust, seismograph, pH 7.4, gene, Mercury, oxygen).
