Instructions

  1. The test lasts 60 minutes. It is marked out of 100; the pass mark is 60.
  2. You may use a calculator or a spreadsheet. Show your workings: a correct result without workings receives only half the marks.
  3. Any outside help (another person, artificial intelligence) is forbidden.
  4. The documents are fictional. Do not make unjustified assumptions; if you make one, state it.
  5. Your agency co-chairs the working group. The minutes will be circulated to all members, including local authorities.

Original practice test, built on the format of written tests used by United Nations agencies and international NGOs. The context and figures are fictitious.
