Upper Division Clerk (UDC) is a clerical post, and its written test is a general screening paper rather than a technical one. This page holds 149 published questions from three papers: a full 2019 paper of 99 questions and two partial papers from 14 and 15 December 2021. The 2021 recruitment ran clerical tests for several posts on consecutive days, so the UDC papers share their style with the LDC and Assistant papers of the same week.
Islamic Studies and English lead the subject count, followed by Pakistan Studies, Geography and Current Affairs. History and Computer Science appear in smaller numbers. The questions are at matric-to-intermediate level and mostly single-fact recall, which makes this a good post to practise for candidates who have been out of formal education for a while. Work through the 2019 paper in full first; it is the only complete UDC paper in the bank and gives the best sense of the overall balance.

Sentence Transformation
Choose the sentence that best conveys the meaning of "Let me do this."
Correct answer: D
The sentence "Let me do this." is a direct offer or request by the speaker to perform a task. It conveys willingness and initiative to take responsibility for the action. The best paraphrase would be something like "Allow me to handle this" or "I will do this." Option A, "Let this be done by me," changes the sentence to passive voice and alters the tone and immediacy of the original. Options B and C also do not accurately convey the meaning. Therefore, none of the given options A, B, or C correctly paraphrase the sentence, making option D (None of these) the correct choice.
