No. It is a Sir Adnan mock test headed 'PMS 2026 GK GRAND MOCK 18', 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 Q14 is dropped because IFAW's international headquarters (The Hague) is not among the options; Q15 because the first woman UN Under-Secretary-General, Dame Margaret Anstee (1987), is not among the options; Q42 because the fastest T20 century record belongs to Sahil Chauhan (27 balls) and Miller and Rohit Sharma are tied at 35; Q47 because the first sub-2:20 woman marathoner, Naoko Takahashi, is not among the options; Q57 because the men's marathon record holder, Kelvin Kiptum (2:00:35), is not among the options; Q70 and Q78 because the 2023 Medicine (mRNA vaccines) and Physics (attosecond pulses) Nobel subjects are not among the options; Q90 because it repeats Q19 (IAEA headquarters) and is cross-linked there; and Q95 because the first Asian Nobel Peace laureate, the Dalai Lama (1989), is not among the options.
Yes. Every keyed answer was reconciled to the standard fact; eight were corrected (Q4 Taliban ambassador year to 2021, Q6 foreign minister in 2024 to Jalil Abbas Jilani, Q12 National Security Policy launch to 2022, Q44 first individual Olympic gold to Athletics, Q46 Hockey World Cup 2023 to Did not participate, Q53 first twice-host to Mexico, Q54 T20 World Cup 2022 to England, Q58 first T20 World Cup to India), each flagged in keyFlag.
The key is headed 'Answer Key - Mock Test 7' although the paper is headed 'GRAND MOCK 18', the same key-heading slip seen in earlier PMS mocks, and its first-column numbers lose digits in text extraction, so the key was decoded positionally (100 letter tokens in order) and every keyed answer checked against the standard fact, not trusted blindly.
