Exam-specific and shared questions

Of the 356 distinct questions in this set, 27 are written specifically for PSTET and 329 are common general-studies questions (reasoning, aptitude, general knowledge, Punjab GK, language and computer basics). Punjab recruitment papers test these common areas at a similar level, so the same reviewed question is used in every exam set where that topic is on the syllabus, rather than being rewritten with small changes.

Exam sets that share the most questions with this one:

Because most of this set is common material, use it together with the official syllabus for the post: practise the shared topics here and study the post-specific subjects from the prescribed books and the official notification.
