Current affairs, practised rather than read
Current affairs is the subject read most and retained least, because reading a list is not the same as being asked. In the Kharidar preliminary it shares twelve marks with international relations, which is worth knowing before deciding how long to spend on it.
Where do you actually stand?
Five questions, two and a half minutes, 20% off for a wrong answer and nothing off for a blank — the same arithmetic as the real paper. At the end it names the subject costing you the most.
Sit a five-question paper
Same rules as the real thing. Two and a half minutes, 20% deducted for a wrong answer, nothing deducted for leaving one blank.

Accuracy is kept per subject rather than as one average, because an average hides the single subject that will fail you — which is the only thing worth knowing before the exam.
The official syllabus
The Public Service Commission publishes the syllabus itself, and it is updated from time to time. We link to it rather than reprinting it — a copy here could quietly go out of date, and somebody preparing from an outdated syllabus is worse off than somebody who read the original.
