NUMS scoring & marking scheme

Strategy: NUMS penalises wrong answers (-0.25 per mistake). Skip a question if you cannot eliminate at least 2 options — guessing blindly hurts your scaled score more than blanking.

Scale: NUMS (out of 200).

How NUMS is conducted

• Mode
  Standard — practice without proctoring on Wrexa Edge, or enable optional webcam proctoring to simulate test-day conditions.
• Test format
  Linear / fixed-form — every candidate sees the same number of questions per section.
• Backtracking
  Allowed — you can revisit and change answers within a section.
• Mark for review
  Available — flag tough questions and return to them before submitting the section.

NUMS time strategy

With 200 questions in 145 minutes, you have about 44 seconds per question on average. Successful candidates aim for the following pacing on each section:

• Biology (80 Q)
  Target ~45 sec/question. If a question takes more than 68 seconds, mark for review and move on.
• Chemistry (50 Q)
  Target ~42 sec/question. If a question takes more than 63 seconds, mark for review and move on.
• Physics (40 Q)
  Target ~38 sec/question. If a question takes more than 57 seconds, mark for review and move on.
• English + Quant Reasoning (30 Q)
  Target ~50 sec/question. If a question takes more than 75 seconds, mark for review and move on.

Expert take: what NUMS really tests

The NUMS entry test is Pakistan’s NUMS-specific route into MBBS/BDS — 200 questions across Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English and Logical Reasoning, drawn from the FSc pre-medical curriculum with no negative marking. Because admission across the NUMS colleges is by merit, the real target is a high score, not just the ~55% (MBBS) qualifying mark, and the non-science sections (English, reasoning) are easy marks many science-focused candidates under-practise.
