MCQs, written response and interview practice in one kit
One interview question free, with feedback

Which written test each UN job may use, which official sample tests the UN lists (and which links are down), a worked numerical question and a P-level drafting prompt with a rubric.
How UN competency-based interviews work, the competencies panels probe, typical questions for each, two worked answers in Situation, Action, Result form, and a YPP practice script.
What the UN Young Professionals Programme exam asks at each stage, where the free official preparation material is, one worked practice question and a written-response prompt with a marking rubric.
