No. It is a Sir Adnan mock test headed 'PMS 2026 GK GRAND MOCK 13', prepared for PMS Screening 2026. It is published as paperType 'mock', never as a past paper, and the year 2026 is the booklet's mock label, not a claimed exam session.
Printed Q6 (Hamas Gaza leader Yahya Sinwar not among the options), Q9 (COP28 slogan matches none of the options), Q15 (no verifiable 2023 Interpol notice matching the key), Q43 (Pakistan's 'only Olympic gold' premise is false — four golds in total), Q49 (marathon record holder Kelvin Kiptum not among the options), Q59 (IPL 2023 top wicket-taker Mohammed Shami not among the options) and Q79 (2023 Chemistry Nobel for quantum dots not among the options) are dropped, never inferred.
The answer-key pages are headed 'Answer Key – Mock Test 5' although the paper is headed 'GRAND MOCK 13'. The key was verified item by item against the 100 questions and matches them except for the seven corrections recorded in the file; the heading slip does not make it a different paper.
Four sections: world organisations and current affairs (Q1–20), geography, islands, oceans, mountains and rivers (Q21–40), sports, Olympics and world records (Q41–60), science, environment, biology and phobias (Q61–80), plus UN, Gulf, dams, famous firsts and measurements (Q81–100).
