How many questions are in the FPSC Assistant, Planning Division paper 2007? +
The paper contains 100 MCQs, all 100 published, including two questions repeated verbatim in the book (Q21/Q24 reprinted as Q38/Q39) and several items printed with only three options.
Which subjects does it cover? +
It covers English (20 questions), Mathematics (20), Everyday Science (20), Pakistan Studies (20), Islamic Studies (10) and General Knowledge (10).
Are the answers verified? +
Yes. Every answer was reconciled three ways — the book's printed key, the book's own material, and the standard fact. Two printed key answers were corrected where they disagreed with the standard answer, and the last nine answers were settled from standard fact because that key column is cut off in the scan.
Which other exams does this paper help with? +
Its English, Mathematics, Everyday Science and Pakistan Studies questions are equally useful for PPSC, NTS, CSS MPT and all other Pakistan one-paper exams.
