PMS Screening Test 2026 PPSC 100 General Knowledge MCQs

The Provincial Management Service (PMS) is the highest competitive examination conducted at the provincial level by PPSC, SPSC, KPPSC, and BPSC. Due to the massive number of applicants, provincial commissions like PPSC now conduct a 100-mark MCQ-based Screening Test to shortlist candidates for the main written exams.

Unlike the CSS MPT, the PMS screening test carries a 0.25 negative marking for every wrong answer. This means blind guessing can severely damage your score. The passing threshold is typically high, and the paper is heavily tilted towards extensive General Knowledge and Pakistan Affairs.

PMS Screening Test Syllabus (PPSC Standard)

  • General Knowledge & Geography: World capitals, currencies, oceans, continents, and international organizations.
  • Pakistan Affairs: History from 1857 to 1947, and post-partition constitutional and political developments.
  • Current Affairs: Latest international and national events, treaties, and appointments (2024-2026).
  • Everyday Science: Basic biology, physics, chemistry, and environmental science.
  • Basic Math, English & Urdu: 10 to 15 questions covering grammar, vocabulary, and basic arithmetic.
