UHS Entrance Test 2013

[Ahmad Zaeem]

Which one is easier MCAT or NTS ???... for AKU!!!

 

[OakMoon!]

Guys which academy do you suggest for MCAT in lahore , ....which specially gives attention to A level students ......i have heard bad remarks regarding KIPS ....and plss tell me which branch!!!!!!!

There is no such academy. Majority of people studying for MCAT are from FSC so basically the style of teaching is not suited to A'levels students. I'll recommend you to study yourself.

My advice =Please DO NOT go there!

Google search them, you'll find them on various websites.
Alternatively, visit your nearest Urdu Bazar :3

I'll try to answer your questions one by one.


The entrance test is based on the FSC books entirely. There's a syllabus given for the MCAT by UHS. You can check out this year's syllabus on their website. The content, however, will ALWAYS be from FSC, remember that. So you'll need to go over the FSC books. There's no alternative to that.



You have heard right, I'm afraid. Very few A Level students get into government medical universities because the entry test is based on FSC and O/A Level students can't get more than 90% in equivalence by the IBCC. Whereas, it isn't uncommon to hear of FSC students who have a score of a 1000 or more. (out of 1100)



This is only the second year since UHS introduced their combined FSC/A Level syllabus for MCAT. As yet, I have not heard of much improvement for A Level students. But I think, in a couple of years, as A Level students get more acquainted with the system and accept the fact that they'll have to rattafy FSC books, the situation could get a little better. (Provided that the University of Health Sciences sticks with this syllabus and doesn't suddenly decide to change it)



Yep. All MCQs. The format of the test is given on their website.



I'm actually giving MCAT myself this year so I can't really help you with that question. However there are a lot of Pakistani medical students on this forum. And this question has been frequently asked there. So just search around. You'll find your answer soon enough. However, you should know that for government medical universities, the choice of which uni you get in depends on your merit (i.e the aggregate of your Matric/O level, FSC/A level and MCAT scores)



Pretty hard. I'm not trying to scare you but here are the facts:

On average, 30,000 people appear for the MCAT each year. Only 3000 get into government universities.

However, it is not impossible!! Hard work is the key to all!



Don't count on the UHS to be efficient in that regard. Our MCAT this year is on the 23rd of September and UHS announced the official date on the 10th of August. But it's held in the month of September each year so you should prepare according to that.



Absolutely.



FSC books. You need to learn them thoroughly. And there are plenty of Entry Test books available that you could buy to practise MCQs. I'm using Caravan, Jahangir and the KETS ones. However it's hard to get your hands on the KETS books unless you are a student of KIPS.



Again, look at the syllabus given on their website. There's an 870 words long list that you'll need you learn. There'll also be some grammar questions.



They are totally fine. You do not need to do English in A Levels. The English section of the MCAT is way different from anything they'll ever teach you at O/A Level English.

Now, a few more things.

You must have given your O Levels, obviously. Have you obtained an equivalence certificate from IBCC? If not, you need to get that made ASAP. IBCC can be very bothersome. When you're A Level result comes out, you'll need equivalence for that too. But that's for later.

Since you're a foreign student, you can apply to the reserved seats in the government medical universities. The fees will be higher than those paid by local students, though. I'm not aware of the exact procedure for that. It's said to be tedious and long-winded and apparently involves having to give SAT 2 in Biology, Physics and Chemistry. I believe UHS mentioned something here. You'll get a lot of information in this regard from the forum I linked earlier. Medstudentz

I hope that helped! And I hope I didn't sound too discouraging because that was certainly not my intention. It's just that admittance into medical universities in Pakistan suffers from the same 'issues' that afflict our education system and it's extremely stressful for A Level students to adjust themselves to this system. I'm going through this right now. Believe me, it is not fun. =,(

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. =)

can u give me the list of those 870 words??

   Hey there.
   I would like someone here with experience to help me out. I'm doing A2 Level and have completed AS level. I want to get an admission in one of the good public medical Universities in Lahore, Pakistan. Unfortunately, I have no idea how the procedure for admission works and what I should expect in the entrance test as I don't live in Pakistan.
   Please tell me everything that I need to know. I've heard many A level students are rejected and end up being disapointed because they can't get admissions, is this true? And has the situation gotten any better?
   What is the format for the UHS entrance test, is it all MCQ questions? And is it a good idea to give UHS entrance test or is there any other entrance test that you can give?
   What are the best medical universities in Lahore (with a good environment)? And how hard is it to get into them? I'll be giving finishing the whole A levels in June 2013 and so when will the entrance test dates be announced? Should I start right after the A level exams are finished? How should I prepare for the test? Any books that you can recommend.
   
   Thank you....
   
   I think they have English in their entrance test...what is that about?
   And are Biology, Chemistry and Physics in A level fine? or do I have to give English as well?
   
   I know these are heaps of questions but kindly answer which ever you can with valid information.
   Thank you very much again and JazakAllah.
