Which years of the Assistant Director paper are included?

Seven papers: 2002, 2004, 2011, 2012, 2019 batches one and three, and 2020. The 2019 batches two, four and five are being transcribed. Each paper is listed separately so you can attempt one year at a time, or read the whole post as one list.

Does the paper include questions on the FIA Act?

The 2019 papers do, in small numbers: around ten questions on the agency's legal basis, its powers and its organisational structure. Earlier papers did not. The separate Assistant Director Investigation post from 2022 tests the Act more heavily, and its page is the better place to practise that material.

What English level should I expect?

Higher than in the Inspector or Sub Inspector papers. Alongside vocabulary questions, the Assistant Director papers include grammar, conditionals and sentence-correction items, which are collected under the English Language subject. Both the main English bank and the English Language bank are worth attempting.

FIA Assistant Director Past Papers

Post Past Papers556 questionsPage 7/56

Assistant Director is an officer-grade post, and the FIA has recruited for it through written tests over a longer span than for any other grade in this bank. This page holds 556 published questions from seven papers: 2002, 2004, 2011, 2012, two batches from 2019 and a shorter 2020 paper. The older papers are close to a hundred questions each; the 2019 and 2020 papers are partial transcriptions and will be extended as the missing questions are recovered and reviewed.

Pakistan Studies is the dominant subject, with well over a hundred questions across the papers, followed by English, Islamic Studies, Mathematics and General Knowledge. Current Affairs and History have a stronger presence here than in lower-grade tests, and the 2019 papers introduced a few questions on the FIA Act itself. Reading the 2002 and 2004 papers side by side with 2019 is instructive: the subjects are the same, but the later papers ask more analytical English and fewer straight recall questions.
