Questions

Paper practice FAQs

Is this an official PMS past paper? +

No. It is a Sir Adnan one-liner practice set on the Baltic States, prepared for PMS Screening 2026. It is published as paperType 'practice', never as a past paper, and the year 2026 is the booklet's label, not a claimed exam session.

Which Baltic country has the longest coastline? +

Estonia, at about 3,794 km including its more than 2,200 islands — not Latvia, as the booklet prints. Latvia's coastline is roughly 500 km and Lithuania's roughly 90 km.

Which Baltic country has the most lakes? +

Lithuania, with about 6,000 lakes, against over 3,000 in Latvia and about 1,500 in Estonia. The booklet prints Latvia, which is corrected here.

Why are six booklet items missing from this set? +

Six items were dropped as unanswerable as printed, never inferred: the Belarus-border item (Latvia also borders Belarus), the no-Russian-border item (all three border Russia, Lithuania via Kaliningrad), the Gulf of Riga item (Estonia also borders it), the lowest-density item (Estonia/Latvia rankings flip by data vintage), the highest-literacy item (Estonia and Latvia tie at about 99.9%) and the military-spending item (2025 figures put Latvia or Lithuania ahead depending on the measure).
