Questions

Paper practice FAQs

Is this an official PMS past paper? +

No. It is a Sir Adnan mock test headed 'PMS GK Basic Mathematics Mock Test', 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.

Why are 99 questions published instead of 100? +

Printed Q59 (mean of the first 10 natural numbers) is the same question as printed Q1 (average of the first 10 natural numbers), so it is cross-linked to Q1 and not published twice. Every other printed item is published, with four booklet keys corrected to the standard answer and flagged.

Which booklet answers were corrected? +

Q27 (10 days after Monday is Thursday, not Friday), Q82 (mean of 4, 8, 12 is 8, not 10), Q86 (15 days after Friday is Saturday, not Monday) and Q100 (100 ÷ 4 × 5 = 125, not 100). Each correction is flagged in the item's keyFlag.

What topics does the mock cover? +

Basic mathematics for PMS Screening: averages, percentages, ratio, algebra, mensuration, number and letter series, work and time, speed and distance, profit and loss, statistics, probability and BODMAS.
