Post-specific papers tell you how you'd do on one advertisement. The Challenge papers tell you how you'd do on the next one, whatever it turns out to be. Each is a full-length paper drawn from a large PPSC MCQ compilation, spanning English, Pakistan Affairs, Islamic Studies, General Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, History and World Affairs.
Sit all four across a week, in one sitting each, and compare the subject breakdowns. The subject that is weak in all four is the one worth a month of your revision — not the one that felt hardest on the day.
A note on the source: these papers were compiled from a scanned practice book that carried no printed answer key. Every answer was determined through independent question-by-question review. They're excellent for breadth, but if an answer ever looks wrong to you, tell us and we'll re-check it.
