EDITING field-related multiple-choice practice questions

Company Background

Since 2006, our company (eutraining.eu) offers online test preparation services to candidates for the European Union's civil service selection competitions organised by EPSO, the European Personnel Selection Office.


Summary
We’re currently looking for experts with a Building specialist background in one or more of these fields:
1. Architecture and project management
2. Electrical engineering and project management

to EDIT multiple-choice test questions with answers and explanations created by a non-expert. These will be used as practice questions on the EU Training platform by candidates who are preparing for the selection exams for the EPSO Building specialists Competition.


It would be ideal if the editor has an EU background with a basic understanding of the EU institutions (ideally someone who has worked with or for the EU institutions)
Project briefing
EDIT  field-related multiple-choice questions for an EPSO specialist competition
Language: English (Cambridge British English)
Level: Expert (grade AD7)
100 questions per profile
Questions should assess knowledge and skills relevant to the eligibility criteria and level of experience required as detailed in the Notice of Competition AND the duties expected as described in ANNEX II of the Notice of Competition.(attached)
Ensure all questions’ content are aligned with the EU institutions’ technical expectations.
Questions must reflect the level of responsibility expected from grade AD7 specialists working in or with EU institutions.
What “AD7” means. It’s a grade within the EU Administrators (AD) function group. Administrator careers run from AD5 to AD16; AD7 sits well below senior and management grades, squarely in the experienced specialist bracket. EUR-Lex+1
Type of work. Administrators (non-linguistic) are responsible for conceptual policy work and implementing EU policies—drafting proposals, running programmes and projects, advising on legislation, managing files with other institutions. This is the core “policy professional” track.
Each test question must consist of the following:
1 question
4 answer options: 1 correct + 3 incorrect
A detailed explanation of approx. 3-5 lines (or 30-50 words) explaining why the correct answer is the right one.
Avoid the pattern where the longest answer is always correct.
Where possible, include two very similar answer options that could both appear correct, but ensure that only one is the correct choice.
All the questions must be unique, proprietary, and focused on knowledge of the field
Text passages included in the tests must not be politically or in any other way biased or opinionated
Preferably and wherever possible, the questions should not be linked to current or recent events which may risk that they become obsolete or incorrect within 1-2 years (e.g. asking about an ad hoc committee, a specific politician who may leave office etc.)
Content format: The questions will be shared with you through a secure Google worksheet. The amount of questions shared with you depends on the number of profiles you take on to edit. Each profile has 100 questions, there are 4 profiles total as specified earlier.


Guidelines for using AI
Although we prefer  limiting AI use to ensure originality and quality, we recognise that it can be a practical tool in today’s workflow. Our question writers used AI but with these guidelines:
Work in a private, non-public, and non-searchable environment. Do not use platforms or settings where prompts or outputs may be made publicly available, indexed by search engines, or stored for public AI training datasets.
Train the AI with the materials provided (including the Notice of Competition, EPSO guidelines, and any sample questions) so it produces contextually accurate, role-specific content.
Review, edit, and ‘humanise’ each question to ensure originality, accuracy, and alignment with our quality standards.
Avoid detectable patterns (e.g., longest answer always being correct, overly formulaic wording, or generic question structures).
Verify EU orientation. Ensure each question reflects the relevant EU context, policies, institutions, or practices.
