Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: Model UN resources (United Nations Association of the USA); Charter of the United Nations (United Nations); Program on Negotiation daily blog (Harvard Law School); Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In (Fisher, Ury and Patton (3rd ed., 2011)); United Nations Security Council (United Nations); Rules of Procedure of the General Assembly (United Nations). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Three skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: The UN System and Procedure (UN organs and the Charter, Rules of procedure and Voting); Research, Speaking and Negotiation (Position papers, Speeches and caucusing and Principled negotiation); Resolutions, Voting and Diplomatic Conduct (Drafting resolutions, Amendments and Diplomatic behaviour). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.

Preambulatory clauses introduce the context and reasons for a resolution, citing past actions and principles, and begin with words like "Recalling" or "Noting". Operative clauses state the actions the body takes or recommends, are numbered and begin with verbs like "Calls upon" or "Requests".

Substantive decisions require nine affirmative votes out of fifteen members, with no negative vote from any of the five permanent members (China, France, Russia, the UK and the US). A permanent member's "no" vote acts as a veto; abstentions do not block adoption.
