So what I get is that we should start preparing for FSC based tests from now ''D

Yes, so it seems, remembering who discovered the mitochondria or who invented the CRO is just too much
But the limits cross when they expect us to remember D.O.B's of scientists !

You don't need to remember the name of scientists or the dates or stuff like that. Check out the last two MCAT exams to figure out what kind of questions could be asked. You'll have to make a lot of judgement calls about what to learn and what not too. You'll have the syllabus with you but at times you get confused whether a certain information in book relates to the topics mentioned in the syllabus or not. But that's something you'll figure out along the way.
As for the AKU test, your concepts are more important. If you want to read the fsc stuff, make sure you build your concepts rather than just rote learning. The AKU test has alot of FSC stuff but it is conceptually strong.

Good! It is easy to memorize if you get the concept but it is veryyyy difficult to cram something without actually getting it.

Yeah! It is. But FSC Biology is all about cramming.

----Cramming up the internal systems of frogs, grass hoppers and cockroaches ---

Luckily, such stuff wasn't in the MCAT syllabus.

There are a few reserved seats for Balochistan, AJK, FATA and refugees. But for open merit seats you must have a domicile of any district of Punjab to make it to KE.

AsSalamoAlaikum Wr Wb..

Not for other provinces, but cities in Punjab, yes. Also, there are some seats reserved for under-developed cities, Kashmir, etc.

"These seats are open to applicants possessing valid domicile certificate of any district of the Punjab or Federal Capital Area (Islamabad) provided
they fulfill basic eligibility criteria."

it wasn't. but sadly you have to do it for AMC and AKU!

 

[izzahzainab]

OakMoon! Does the test have an essay writing section?

OakMoon! Does the test have an essay writing section?

Yeah! It does. You've to write two argumentative essays on the given topics. The two essays are of 10 and 6 marks, respectively.

It's basically the FSC syllabus. AKU has an examining body that provides a similar qualification to that of FSC. And the syllabus posted there is of that. But once again let me remind you that there is not much of an advantage in doing very well in the AKU test. I have seen people with 69% make it to AKU and the ones with 85% in the test getting rejected. So the hard work you'll do covering the whole FSC syllabus should be spent in doing volunteer work that'll help you in the interview.

Hello I just wanted to know if there is anyone in aku who had a grade C in his/her alevels ! I mean besides the eligibility criteria can we apply to aku with not that very good result ?
