    • Conclusion 

MDCAT test is the scariest hurdle for pre-medical students who are dreaming of becoming a doctor. So many questions invade your mind and the actual preparation of the test hasn’t even started for most of the students. MDCAT stands for Medical and Dental College Admission Test. You have chosen to save lives as a profession and this is the beginning, so do not worry if things seem difficult- you need to focus and work hard starting now for your medical career. We have gathered some basic information for you to go through to help answer some of those questions in your head. 

What is MDCAT?

The MDCAT is a Multiple Choice based exam that is meant to test the knowledge of students who are applying for MBBS and BDS in almost all public and private sector medical universities of Pakistan. It is a 2.5 hour physical test taken at different government centres in all the regions and the curriculum is set by the Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC) (you can find out the detailed syllabus here). The test is held on the same day throughout Pakistan (might only get delayed due to a calamity). This year the MDCAT Study date is November 13, 2022. Under Section (5) of the PMC Conduct of Examinations Regulations 2821. 4, the result of this test is valid for 2 years. The PMS sends your result directly to the university that you have chosen to apply to. 

The following centres centres are responsible for producing and marking the test and making the space available for students to sit on the test day: 

  • The University of Health Sciences, Lahore: for students of Punjab
  • Khyber Medical University, Peshawar: for students of KPK
  • Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi: for students of Sindh

There are 200 MCQs (Multiple Choice Questions) divided into four sections- Biology (80MCQs), Chemistry (60MCQs), Physics (40MCQs) and English (General for language proficiency) (20 MCQs). 

There is no negative marking and each correct answer is awarded 1 mark. 

Courses that require MDCAT Study test
