Pegawai Tadbir dan Diplomatik exam tip-off
Recently sat for PTD exam-May 12 2012
There are 5 sections for the first stage. A, B and C are multiple choice questions, while the rest are essays.
For section A, 60 questions are mostly on government's propaganda such as the objectives of NKRA, NKEA, greater Kuala Lumpur, Iskandar, PLKN and etc.
Also focus on the ministries and its government agencies. For example, RISDA is under which ministry?The function of Bank Negara...
Other than that, current issues will be asked- such as where did the spaceship that Malaysian astronaut landed? Which countries are in NATO group?focus on world financial crisis as well.
General knowledge: Nobel prize winners, ICT application and etc.
Moving on to section B, solving problems. Mostly are mathematics which Form 5 students could solve it. It can be probability and basic mathematical operation. But the tricky part in this section is you have to settle 40 questions within 45 minutes. Knowing figures by heart will help saving time.
Section C could be the easiest part as there are two English and Malays compositions each, with 20 mcqs. As long as you read it carefully, surely will find the correct answers.
Section D, compose essay in Malay could be difficult if one does not know the current issues on government policy. Candidates have to choose one out of three topics. I chose the topic with "Berikan kebaikan2 sehubungan dengan tindakan kerajaan mengurangkan pemberian subsidi barangan keperluan harian,". There are no wording limit.
Section E, compose essay in English. Same rule applied as section D. But topics are on general issues such as the pros and cons of social networking, "smile worths of thousand words" and "mass media role in preventing consumers getting manipulated,".
P/s: It could be tiring having to sit five exams in a day. Make sure bring finger food and drinking water.
