About MDCAT Prep
Free MDCAT preparation for Pakistani students — and an honest account of how the material is made, who makes it, and what it does not do.
MDCAT Prep is a free preparation resource for the Medical and Dental College Admission Test — the national entry test Pakistani students must pass to enter an MBBS or BDS programme. The site has been running since 2024 and is used by students preparing for the Punjab (UHS) and wider PMDC intake.
It exists because MDCAT preparation in Pakistan is expensive. A place at an established academy costs more in a season than many families can reasonably spend, and the material those academies use is not fundamentally scarce: it is the FSc syllabus, the published PMDC curriculum, and practice. This site is an attempt to put the practice part within reach of any student with a phone and a data connection.
What is on the site
Five things, all free to use without an account:
- A topic-wise question bank covering Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English and Logical Reasoning, organised by PMDC chapter and subtopic. Every question carries a worked explanation, not just an answer key.
- Full-length timed mock tests that reproduce the real format — 180 MCQs, three hours, the official 45/25/20/5/5 subject split, no negative marking.
- Chapter notes — 67 pages of condensed theory across the five subjects, written to be read the night before a topic test rather than as a textbook replacement.
- Past papers from 2008 to 2025, with the recurring question patterns identified.
- A merit and aggregate calculator for Punjab medical colleges, so students can see where a given MDCAT score actually places them before results day.
How the questions are written and checked
This is the part most preparation sites do not explain, so it is worth being specific.
Every question is written against the PMDC Uniform Curriculum for MDCAT 2026 — the actual published document, not a remembered chapter list. Before a question enters the bank it is checked against a machine-readable copy of that curriculum and rejected if its unit and subtopic do not both appear there. This matters more than it sounds. A large amount of MDCAT material in circulation includes topics that are simply not on the syllabus: Logical Reasoning handouts, in particular, routinely include blood relations, coding-decoding, seating arrangements and number series, none of which are in the PMDC curriculum. Time spent on them is time taken from the six areas that are.
Questions are also screened automatically for duplicates and for answer-position bias — the tendency, in hand-written question sets, for the correct option to cluster on B and C. A student who learns that pattern learns nothing useful about medicine.
The material is aimed at the level the exam actually tests: roughly seventy per cent recall and thirty per cent application, phrased in the register of Pakistani FSc and intermediate textbooks rather than in translated American material.
What we do not claim
We are not affiliated with the PMDC, UHS, or any medical college, and nothing on this site is an official source. For registration deadlines, fee amounts, eligibility and the exam date, the PMDC portal is authoritative and should always be checked directly — we summarise those details for convenience and update them when they change, but a summary is not a substitute.
We also do not promise a score. No preparation site can. What practice questions do is convert knowledge you already have into marks under time pressure, and expose the gaps you did not know you had. That is worth a great deal, and it is not the same as a guarantee.
Free and paid
The overwhelming majority of the site is free and always will be. Free users can work through the question bank by topic, take timed mock tests, read every notes page, download past papers and use the merit calculator, without registering.
A paid option exists for students who want the complete question bank unlocked and a dedicated full-length mock paper. That revenue, along with advertising, is what pays for hosting and for the time that goes into writing and checking new questions. We would rather be transparent about that than pretend the site runs on goodwill alone.
Corrections
A question bank of this size will contain errors. If you find a question whose answer or explanation is wrong, please tell us — include the subject and the question text and we will check it. Corrections from students are the main way mistakes get found, and we would much rather hear about one than leave it sitting there.
