General Knowledge and Current Affairs
Core concepts
This domain samples international organisations (UN, AU, SADC, CPLP), geopolitics, economics, science and technology, culture, and recent events. Candidates should know Angola's memberships and roles, major global institutions, and broad trends in energy, climate, and development.
Traps
Current-affairs items go stale; distractors use outdated facts or near-miss names (similar acronyms, swapped leaders). Questions may test which organisation does what (e.g., SADC vs AU vs CPLP).
Worked example / rule of thumb
Rule: link organisation → purpose → membership. SADC = Southern African development community; AU = continental political union; CPLP = Portuguese-language community. Angola belongs to all three. When unsure of a recent figure, eliminate options that contradict known institutional roles rather than guessing a number.
Strategy
Maintain a short, current fact sheet and prefer reasoning from institutional purpose over memorised headlines.
