FPSC's wording, numbering and marks, as printed. Obvious misprints (a garbled word, a broken number) are corrected; everything else is kept as FPSC printed it.

The written exam starts with the MPT

Only candidates who pass the MCQ screening test (MPT) sit the written papers. Practice the 200-question MPT under exam conditions first.
