aoa,
to succeed in macat or any other test is mean to overcome you weak spot.
i don't know what your weak spot is but i know mine when i did ecat which is basic conformation of knowledge ,i have to receive a problem when i do a math calculation i confused my self by asking wheather 7*4=28or 7*3=28 . So, after spending some time looking for solution i find a solution ,i go into book shop buy all the books form class 1-12(clase one to class twelve) punjab text book (worth Rs 2000),and begin reading at home and it workout for me by reconfirming the basic required subjects,olevel book are good but they required more study time+more money to buy them i hope my case will give some piece of guidance
one piece of info.
right now kips is for Rs 18000 and average acdmy is Rs 13000 for ecat/mact prep.

Da syllabus nd table of specification wx duly followed so u can decide which subject nd chp needs gr8st time... Nd manage acc... Nothing very minute wx asked so u dont need 2 sweat over finest detail... Only most obvious wx asked so dat wx a relief... Nd 4 dat i d say k go thru da syllabus by absorbin major stuff 1st... Definitions and all...

Books as i said wr majorly fsc or so i founð... I dont think much ppl ll differ here... Nd den u can use alvl black books like mary jones etc... 4 eng vocabulary list would suffice nd u can prepare 10 words a day 2 memorise all 1000 words approx b4 test... Ït s nt dat heard... Most wordx u mite already no... Da rest of eng wx simple grammar nd not very difficult or so i founð...
Academies...! Dats debatable... I dont no wat 2 say bout dem... I self studied but some of ma frndx joined ït nd fortunately v all r thru... So ït really depends on u... If u d academiex in o alvls... If u can keep up wid da pace of da teachers nd if u can put in a daily effort... M unfortunately not like dt nd only study if mood fits me nd nvr had academiex in ma whole life so i cant gv authentic info bout ït... U can make ur mind up but note dont do somethin cux others r doin ït like joinin or not joinin... C ur own convenience cux evry1 thrives under diff circumstances...
Hmmmm i guess u mite or mite not no dat da 4 new medical clgs r all operating now in da respected cities where as dey wr 1st dependant on other clgs 2 take in dere students... But 4m wat i ve seen nd observed... Try not 2 make ït 2 dem... Honestly aim a bit higher nd get admission in older institutes dat r developed cux evry new clg s strugglin atm...

sorry...but what's kips ? some academy or..?
As you are A LEVEL student i need your help, i am done with my O levels and i intend to go to medical college too but no private ones. i want to know is it better to do A levels or Fsc? i can't get myself adjust in Fsc so can a straight A* holder do well in entry test? my brother is preparing for his mcat from kips academy so i would recommend you that too. They prepare you very well. But the problem is he was saying the entry test comes mostly from Fsc books so A LEVEL Student will have to study from Fsc books. what your experience as an A Level student says? I really need a wise advise.

I am done with alevels and preparing from MCAT from KIPS too. i think doing alevel is not a disadvantage but there are many advantages. For examples alevel is purely concepts based and entry test is concept based too. And now entry test comes from common topics from both alevel and fsc , except some topics that are not in alevel and they are not much difficult. Many of my friends opted for fsc after olevels and they were not able to follow up with their system and didnt get good marks in fsc.

I think you are not eligible for MCAT if you have given your AS only.As for SAT, yes you can appear this September:)
Best of luck!:D

Should I study only those specific topics in the UHS syllabus or the entire FSc books?Because I've heard from some students that they can ask questions from anywhere.
