About this paper
A Sir Adnan mock test headed 'PMS GK Current Affairs Mock Test / MCQs-100 (ANSWER KEY IN END)' from the monster-data 'PMS SCREENING 2026 GK UPDATED' pack. The booklet prints 100 items with a 100-entry key; 99 are published here in the standard MCQ format with verified answers and explanations. Printed Q30 is dropped, not guessed: its keyed OIC Secretary-General (Hissein Brahim Taha, correct when the booklet was written in January 2026) was succeeded by Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed in August 2026, who is not among the options. Three booklet keys are corrected to the standard answer and flagged in keyFlag (Q6 USA as top export destination, Q31 SAARC's 8 members, Q64 neither NPT nor CTBT). The four True/False items (Q22, Q33, Q39, Q62) print only two options and are padded to four with authored distractors, flagged in keyFlag. Text-layer fixes: Q3's PECA option restored in full, Q50's option D cleaned of a leaked section-header fragment, Q30's 'Ban Ki-moon' spacing fixed (item dropped regardless).

No. It is a Sir Adnan mock test headed 'PMS GK Current Affairs 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.
Printed Q30 asks for the current OIC Secretary-General and keys Hissein Brahim Taha, who held the post when the booklet was written in January 2026. He was succeeded by Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed in August 2026, and the successor is not among the options, so the item has no correct option as printed and is dropped rather than guessed.
Yes, three, each flagged in keyFlag: Q6's top export destination is the USA, not China (China is the largest overall trading partner, see Q41); Q31's SAARC has 8 members, not 9; and Q64's Pakistan is a member of neither the NPT nor the CTBT, so 'None' replaces the keyed 'Both A & B'.
Six sections: Pakistan's economy, politics and society (Q1-10), Pakistan and neighbours (Q11-20), Pakistan and the Muslim world (Q21-30), Pakistan and international organizations (Q31-40), Pakistan and major powers (Q41-50), and global issues, India and the Middle East, personalities and culture (Q51-100).
