The MCQ Based Preliminary Test (MPT) is a mandatory screening examination conducted by the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) for candidates aspiring to appear in the CSS Competitive Examination. You cannot sit for the main CSS written exams unless you pass the MPT with at least 33% marks (66 out of 200).
Because the CSS MPT syllabus is vast and consists of exactly 200 MCQs, we have divided our master practice test into two manageable parts. This is Part 1 of the test, which contains the first 100 MCQs focusing heavily on English Vocabulary (GRE Level), General Abilities (Math & IQ), Islamic Studies, and Urdu Grammar.
