Job examinations are a valuable part of a person’s career. It shows his/her knowledge and skill
and helps the examiners to select the best candidates. As a result, numerous researches have been
done to improve the quality of this crucial examination all over the world. Bangladesh is a
developing country with lots of possibilities and manpower. It is obvious that the job
examination of our country will be highly competitive and tricky. As English is our second
language, we see inclusion of this sector in the question paper. Examiners included English in the
question to judge candidates’ knowledge and skill over this language. But the question does not
seem to fulfill the goals it is supposed to. Most of the questions are memory and grammar based
which only shows us the memorizing power of a candidate. Clearly the English language part of
the question is not fulfilling its aim properly. In this paper, I will review one of the most
demanding job examination English questions of Bangladesh which is known as BCS
examination and analyze them on the basis of characteristics of the test. I will review the English
language part of the question paper only. I will also conduct research on a few participants and
who will be sharing their thoughts on the quality of our job examination and how it can be
improved.
