MOD MCQs – Practice Questions with Answers

30 practice MCQs for Ministry of Defence general recruitment tests — General Knowledge, Pakistan Studies, current affairs, English, basic mathematics and reasoning, and Islamic Studies. Click a question to reveal the answer and a short explanation.

Ministry of Defence screening tests for general recruitment posts are typically objective and MCQ-based, drawing on General Knowledge, Pakistan Studies, current affairs, English, and basic mathematics or reasoning. Technical and specialist posts add subject-specific content on top of that foundation. MOD does not publish one fixed syllabus for every post, so treat these as practice to strengthen fundamentals, not a replacement for your advertisement.

Work through them section by section. If you miss more than one or two questions in a subject, revise that subject before moving on. For eligibility and how preparation should differ by post, read the MOD Exam Guide.

How to Use These MCQs Effectively

  • Attempt each question before checking the answer. That builds recall better than reading the explanation first.
  • Note which subjects you consistently get wrong, and revise those before moving to new material.
  • Come back to weaker sections after a day or two rather than reviewing them only once.
  • Past MOD advertisements have reportedly used negative marking. Practice being selective about which questions you attempt confidently, and check whether negative marking applies to your specific test before guessing.
  • Once these basics feel comfortable, combine them with MOD past papers to see how questions were phrased in previous recruitment cycles.

Common Mistakes When Preparing MOD MCQs

  • Treating all subjects as equally weighted without checking whether your post leans more on technical content than on general sections.
  • Ignoring negative-marking strategy if your test applies it. Random guessing can cost more than it gains.
  • Relying only on general MCQs for engineering, IT, or medical posts, where subject-specific content likely carries significant weight.
  • Studying general knowledge passively. Working through MCQs repeatedly builds retention better than re-reading notes.
  • Skipping past papers because MOD-specific material is less common. Even limited past material is worth reviewing for pacing and question style.
