MDCAT Mock Test 2026

Why Take MDCAT Practice Tests?

Practicing with timed mock tests is one of the most effective ways to prepare for the MDCAT. The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) designs the MDCAT with 180 MCQs to be completed in 3 hours, covering Biology (81 questions), Chemistry (45 questions), Physics (36 questions), English (9 questions), and Logical Reasoning (9 questions). Simulating this environment during preparation builds the speed, accuracy, and confidence you need on exam day.

Our practice tests use questions strictly aligned with the official PMC MDCAT syllabus for Punjab. Each question comes with a detailed explanation so you can learn from your mistakes immediately. Whether you have 20 minutes for a quick review or want to attempt a full-length 180-question mock exam, we have a test format that fits your schedule.

How It Works

Select a test type above - Quick Test (20 MCQs in 20 minutes), Half Test (50 MCQs in 50 minutes), or Full Mock (180 MCQs in 3 hours). Questions are randomly selected from our bank of 16,800+ MCQs across all five subjects, weighted according to the real MDCAT distribution. Once you finish, you will see your score breakdown by subject, time spent per question, and detailed explanations for every answer. Use these insights to identify weak topics and focus your revision where it matters most.

Practice by Subject

Prefer to focus on one subject at a time? Practice topic-wise MCQs for Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English and Logical Reasoning. Each subject also has a solved set with explanations: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English and Logical Reasoning. You can also revise the full MDCAT chapter notes, work through past papers (2008–2026), or estimate your admission chances with the MDCAT merit calculator.

Sample MDCAT Practice Test Questions with Answers

Twelve questions in the real MDCAT proportions — 5 Biology, 3 Chemistry, 2 Physics, 1 English, 1 Logical Reasoning. Answers and explanations follow each question. Start the timed test above for a full paper, or solve the MDCAT 2026 paper with answer key.

1. Biology — Cell Structure & Function. Prokaryotic cells typically have which type of ribosomes?
   A) 80S ribosomes   B) 60S ribosomes   C) 90S ribosomes   D) 70S ribosomes
   Answer: D. Prokaryotic cells contain 70S ribosomes (50S + 30S subunits), while eukaryotic cells have larger 80S ribosomes (60S + 40S) in the cytoplasm.
2. Biology — Homeostasis. The functional unit of the kidney is the:
   A) Bowman’s capsule   B) Loop of Henle   C) Glomerulus   D) Nephron
   Answer: D. The nephron is the structural and functional unit of the kidney; each kidney contains approximately 1 million nephrons.
3. Biology — Circulation. Which cells are abundant in lymph nodes?
   A) Lymphocytes and macrophages   B) Red blood cells   C) Platelets   D) Neutrophils only
   Answer: A. Lymph nodes contain large numbers of lymphocytes (for the immune response) and macrophages (for phagocytosis).
4. Biology — Support and Movement. Skeletal muscles are also called voluntary muscles because they:
   A) Lack striations   B) Contract automatically   C) Have no nerve supply   D) Are controlled by conscious thought
   Answer: D. Skeletal muscles are under voluntary (conscious) control via somatic motor neurons from the central nervous system.
5. Biology — Biological Molecules. In an inherited disorder the cells cannot add carbohydrate chains to newly made membrane proteins. The most likely consequence is:
   A) A complete block of glycolysis   B) Inability to replicate DNA   C) Loss of the inner mitochondrial membrane   D) Faulty cell-to-cell recognition and defective immune responses
   Answer: D. The surface sugars of glycoproteins mediate recognition and adhesion, so their absence disturbs recognition and immune function.
6. Chemistry — Aldehydes and Ketones. Ketones are prepared by the oxidation of:
   A) Alkanes   B) Primary alcohols   C) Tertiary alcohols   D) Secondary alcohols
   Answer: D. Secondary alcohols (R₂CHOH) are oxidised to ketones using acidified K₂Cr₂O₇ or KMnO₄. Ketones resist further oxidation, unlike aldehydes.
7. Chemistry — Alkyl Halides. Dehydrohalogenation of 2-bromobutane with hot alcoholic KOH follows Saytzeff’s rule to give primarily:
   A) But-1-ene   B) But-2-ene   C) 1-bromobutane   D) Butane
   Answer: B. Saytzeff’s rule states that the more substituted (more stable) alkene is the major product; but-2-ene is more substituted than but-1-ene.
8. Chemistry — Solids. The Born-Haber cycle is used to calculate:
   A) Activation energy   B) Lattice energy of ionic compounds   C) Ionisation energy   D) Bond dissociation energy
   Answer: B. The Born-Haber cycle applies Hess’s law to determine the lattice energy of an ionic compound.
9. Physics — Electromagnetic Induction. A step-up transformer increases:
   A) Voltage   B) Power   C) Current   D) Frequency
   Answer: A. A step-up transformer has more secondary turns than primary turns, increasing output voltage while decreasing current.
10. Physics — Vectors and Equilibrium. A particle is in equilibrium when the vector sum of all forces acting on it is:
    A) Unity   B) Minimum   C) Maximum   D) Zero
    Answer: D. For equilibrium the net force (vector sum of all forces) must equal zero, by Newton’s first law.
11. English — Formal and Lexical Aspects. In “The lecture was held downstairs, immediately after the demonstration,” the adverbials give, in order:
    A) time and then place   B) place and then time   C) manner and then place   D) place and then manner
    Answer: B. “Downstairs” answers “where?” and “immediately after the demonstration” answers “when?”; place precedes time in the usual English order.
12. Logical Reasoning — Letter and Symbol Series. What comes next: BEH, CFI, DGJ, EHK, ?
    A) FHL   B) FIL   C) GJM   D) EIL
    Answer: B. Each letter shifts by +1: B→C→D→E→F, E→F→G→H→I, H→I→J→K→L. Next is FIL.
