Sources & methodology

Clear about what
the practice can tell you.

What is available

This initial US release contains 15 original Analyst I practice questions, worked explanations, an exam guide and a suggested study routine. There is no paid course, subscription or account in this pilot.

Sources and authorship

PublicServicePathway produces the practice material using AI-assisted drafting and editorial checks. The questions were written for this pilot, not copied from the Irish product, an official exam or candidate recollections. Mathematical answers have also been checked with independent calculations.

A US subject-matter reviewer has not yet completed an independent review. This is an early practice sample, not an independently validated full course. We welcome specific corrections through our feedback page.

Coverage and scoring

There are five math questions, five reading/data questions and five written-communication questions. You receive one point per correct answer. Unanswered questions receive no point. Each area is reported out of five, with no penalty for a wrong answer.

The small sample and equal skill weighting are PSP design choices. They are not official exam weights. There is no pass/fail label, percentile, predicted result or claim of equivalent official difficulty. Repeating the same questions measures familiarity as well as skill.

Official reference register

Boundaries that matter

We are an independent preparation provider, not an employer or government agency. We do not offer help during a live assessment, write certified application claims or promise a job. Your official notice and candidate instructions take precedence.
