BPSC one-paper screening is typically a 100-mark MCQ paper in about 90 minutes covering general ability domains. Application fees are deposited under Head C02101 (commonly PKR 800 for B-16/B-17). Shortlisting is merit-based for the advertised post; full PCS written exams are a separate pathway.

Sample BPSC Screening Test Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your BPSC Screening Test exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Choose the correct synonym of the word 'Ubiquitous'.

A.Present everywhere

B.Rare and scarce

C.Temporary and fleeting

D.Hostile and aggressive

Explanation: Ubiquitous means present, appearing, or found everywhere. Rare/scarce is closer to an antonym; temporary and hostile are unrelated meanings.

2Choose the correct antonym of the word 'Benevolent'.

A.Kind and generous

B.Malevolent or unkind

C.Cautious and careful

D.Honest and frank

Explanation: Benevolent means well-meaning and kindly. Its antonym is malevolent or unkind. Kind/generous is a synonym.

3Complete the sentence: 'Neither of the applicants _______ selected for the interview.'

A.were

B.have been

C.was

D.are

Explanation: 'Neither' is singular and takes a singular verb. 'Was' correctly agrees with the singular subject in past tense.

4Identify the correctly spelled word.

A.Accomodation

B.Acommodation

C.Acomodation

D.Accommodation

Explanation: Accommodation is spelled with double 'c' and double 'm'. The other options miss one or both doubled consonants.

5Change into passive voice: 'The Commission published the merit list yesterday.'

A.The merit list was published by the Commission yesterday.

B.The merit list is published by the Commission yesterday.

C.The merit list has published by the Commission yesterday.

D.The merit list had publish by the Commission yesterday.

Explanation: Past simple active becomes past simple passive: was/were + past participle. 'Was published' is the correct form.

6Choose the correct indirect speech: He said, 'I am preparing for the BPSC test.'

A.He said that he is preparing for the BPSC test.

B.He said that he was preparing for the BPSC test.

C.He said that I was preparing for the BPSC test.

D.He said that he had preparing for the BPSC test.

Explanation: In reported speech, present continuous typically backshifts to past continuous, and the pronoun 'I' becomes 'he'.

7Choose the word that best fills the blank: 'The candidate was ______ for submitting forged documents.'

A.commended

B.promoted

C.disqualified

D.applauded

Explanation: Forged documents are grounds for removal from a recruitment process, so 'disqualified' fits the context.

8Identify the part of speech of the underlined word: 'She spoke fluently during the interview.' (fluently)

A.Noun

B.Adjective

C.Preposition

D.Adverb

Explanation: 'Fluently' modifies the verb 'spoke' and is therefore an adverb.

BPSC Screening Test Study Tips from Top Performers

1Confirm your post's syllabus PDF on bpsc.gob.pk — some posts are subject-heavy MCQs rather than pure general ability.

2Memorize Balochistan anchors: Quetta, Bolan Pass, Gwadar/CPEC, Reko Diq, provincial borders, and Sibi Mela.

3Drill English grammar and synonym/antonym sets daily; they are high-frequency, high-scoring items.

4Practice arithmetic without a calculator under timed conditions (percentages, ratios, averages, SI).

5Read Dawn or a monthly current-affairs digest for CPEC, IMF, SCO/ECO/SAARC, and UN/SDG themes.

6Treat Islamiat as easy marks: pillars, Seerah basics, Zakat, and Hijri calendar origins.
