The 2019 UN YPP written examination will be held in two parts: Part I consisting of General Paper (Summary) and Specialised Paper Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) on in October 2019 and Part II consisting of Specialised Paper Open-Ended (Essay) Questions in December 2019. The General Paper tests your writing and analytical skills and includes a summary; the Specialised Paper tests the substantive knowledge of your job family and includes multiple choice questions, long (essay) questions, and short questions.
The written exam is the most competitive part of the UN YPP: only 4% of candidates pass this stage and are invited for an interview. Intense preparation is the key to success, and we strongly advise you to start it as soon as possible, even before the screening results are announced. An effective and proven preparation strategy is to entrust us to assist you with the studies; our credibility is proven by the number of successful candidates and their reviews. The detailed statistics and feedback are available here.
Kindly note that the written exam materials for Economic Affairs and Information Systems and Technology are already available on our website but will be continuously adjusted to the 2019 cohort. Please expect all materials to be adjusted to the UN YPP 2019 structure and content by early September 2019 at the latest.
