How we make questions

Every Prepimo question is sourced and explained. Here is what that means and how a question gets into the app.

Sourced and explained

• An explanation in plain words. Each question explains why the right answer is right, in our own words. The first sentence works as a quick revision note on its own.
• A public source you can check. Each question shows a reference anyone can look up, such as a past CSS paper, an article of the Constitution of Pakistan, a chapter of the Pakistan Economic Survey, a UN resolution or a Hadith collection and number.
• An "as of" date. Facts that change (office holders, figures, rankings) carry the date they were checked.

How a question is made

1. Start from facts. We collect facts and answers from a range of study material and past papers, and map them to the CSS syllabus topics.
2. Write it fresh. Each question, its four options and its explanation are written new, in our own words, with software tools including AI helping us draft. We do not copy questions or wording from books.
3. Check it independently. A separate check answers the question without seeing our answer, and confirms that exactly one option is correct and that the public source supports it. Any disagreement goes to a person.
4. Check originality. Every question is compared against the material it came from to make sure the wording is our own.
5. Human review. A person reviews every disagreement, every Islamiat question, every concept card and a random sample of every batch. If the sample shows a factual error, the whole batch goes back for rework.
6. Publish and keep improving. Approved questions reach the app in content updates, without an app update.
