Lums LCAT format

[Farwa Ismail]

I am going to appear for the LCAT this year and i need to know a couple of things;
1. Are calculators allowed in LCAT?
2. How similar is LCAT to SAT I?
3. How can I best prepare myself given that i am not in pakistan currently?

 

[Sarosh Manzar]

Have you given the SAT I?
People residing outside of Pakistan are exempt from the LCAT and their decisions are based on their SAT I results.
The answers to your other questions however, are;
1. No, they are not.
2. Lcat is based on the SAT I, but the math is considerably harder. Occasionally they ask questions from A-Level Math and that of FSC. On the other hand, the english is comparitively easier than that of the SAT I.

 

[Farwa Ismail]

Yes, I have given SAT I and I submitted my results asw! As I was given an option, I chose to take the LCAT that's why I am inquiring about it. Are you certain about the Math topics or is it generalized?

 

[Sarosh Manzar]

It is generalized, most of the paper is of SAT level math but some questions are more advanced. The university itself has not declared any specific syllabus for it, so they can pretty much ask anything (what a mean thing to do -.-)
How much did you score in the SAT, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Farwa Ismail]

Yeah, that's exactly what I've heard.
Ikr!! They should set up a syllabus so at least we know the boundaries of the questions. Anyway, I scored 1900 with a 790 in Math.

 

[Sarosh Manzar]

haha yeah
790 in math? Thats amazing! o.o
Good luck with your admission process
feel free to ask any more questions that you may have

 

[Farwa Ismail]

Thanks a lot!
Sure. Btw, are you studying in Lums currently?

 

[Sarosh Manzar]

No, Im giving the LCAT just like you =P
My sister is in lums, so any queries that I have, I just ask her

I am not sure if it's authentic or not but it will give you a guidline.

Thank you! But I've already enrolled in Anees Hussain so I know the time limit, but I was wondering about the total marks.

 

[Farwa Ismail]

Yeah. The total number of questions are 150 so the marks will also be 150. I also heard that we will have an essay. Is it true? If yes, then add those 12 marks as well.
