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.
Preparation tips
- Study strictly to the NUMS syllabus and the FSc textbooks it is drawn from.
- No negative marking — attempt every one of the 200 questions.
- Do not neglect English and Logical Reasoning — reliable, scoring sections.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Aiming only to qualify when merit admission demands a high score.
- Focusing only on the sciences and dropping easy English/reasoning marks.
