Biology
Nearly half the paper. Taught chapter by chapter against the learning outcomes, then converted into MCQs where the distractors are the textbook's own half-truths.

MDCAT preparation, built around the questions Biology asks
MDCAT is a speed test wearing a knowledge test's clothes. Most candidates know enough FSc to pass it; far fewer have answered enough timed MCQs to stop losing marks to pace, traps and second-guessing. Our tutors teach both, one to one.

Why good FSc students still miss the merit
Knowing the chapter is not the same as answering 180 questions in time
The MDCAT syllabus is drawn from FSc Pre-Medical, so most candidates arrive already knowing most of it. What separates them is not content but conversion: how many of those questions become correct bubbles on an OMR sheet in the time allowed, when four plausible options sit under every stem and the clock does not stop for doubt.
Biology decides more of the paper than any other subject, so it gets the most time here. Chemistry and Physics then get the numerical drilling that FSc teaching rarely finishes, and English and Logical Reasoning are treated as the quick marks they are, rather than being left for the final week.
- A diagnostic MCQ set in the free trial, scored by subject and by chapter
- Biology taught first and hardest, chapter by chapter against the PMDC learning outcomes
- Timed MCQ sets every week, with the wrong options explained, not only the right one
- Full mock papers under exam conditions in the final two months

What is taught
All five subjects, weighted by the paper
Session time follows the marks. A student who is already strong in English does not pay for English lessons.
Chemistry and Physics
The numerical subjects, where time is lost. Formula recall, unit handling and the mental arithmetic that avoids a calculator you will not have.
English and Logical Reasoning
Eighteen questions that reward practice more than study. Grammar, vocabulary in context, comprehension, and the pattern and deduction items in the reasoning section.
PMDC publishes the MDCAT syllabus and pattern for each year. The split above is the one used for 2025 and 2026; if the 2027 notification changes it, the plan changes with it.
How a course actually runs
How an MDCAT course runs
From diagnosis to the mock papers, in that order.
01
Diagnose on real MCQs
A mixed set in the free trial, scored by subject and chapter. The result usually shows two or three chapters doing most of the damage, and that is where the plan starts.
02
Teach the chapter, then its traps
Each chapter is taught briefly, then attacked through MCQs built on the mistakes candidates actually make. Knowing why a wrong option is wrong is most of the skill.
03
Timed sets every week
Sets are sat against the clock and marked the same evening. The tutor tracks accuracy and time per question, since both have to improve together.
04
Review the wrong answers, not the score
The following session opens with the questions that went wrong, grouped by cause: knowledge gap, misread stem, time pressure or a changed answer.
05
Full mocks in the last two months
Complete papers under exam conditions, then a review that decides what the final weeks are spent on. New content stops; weak chapters get the time.
Sitting FSc Part II at the same time?
Most of our MDCAT students are. The tutor plans around the board exam calendar so the two do not fight for the same weeks.
Where marks are won and lost
Where MDCAT marks go missing
Patterns our tutors see in every mock series.
| Subject | Share of the paper | What we drill | The usual leak |
|---|---|---|---|
| Biology | 81 of 180 questions | Chapter-wise MCQs, diagrams and processes in sequence, terminology | Choosing the option that is true but does not answer the stem |
| Chemistry | 45 of 180 questions | Mole calculations, reaction conditions, organic conversions | Arithmetic slips under time pressure in otherwise known calculations |
| Physics | 36 of 180 questions | Formula selection, units, graphs and quick estimation | Spending three minutes on one numerical and rushing the last ten questions |
| English | 9 of 180 questions | Grammar rules, vocabulary in context, short comprehension | Treating it as free marks and never practising it |
| Logical Reasoning | 9 of 180 questions | Series, analogies, deduction and critical thinking items | Unfamiliar formats that cost time on the day |
Figures follow the PMDC pattern for 2025 and 2026. Check the official notification for your year, and treat any website, including this one, as a summary rather than the source.
Scheduling and fees
Booking MDCAT sessions
Most students take two sessions a week in the final four months.
Free trial
A 45-minute live class with the tutor you would actually be assigned. They set a short diagnostic task, mark it live, and tell you where the gaps are. No card details.
Weekly slot
One or two fixed 55 minute sessions a week, billed monthly in advance, with the same tutor throughout.
MDCAT sprint
An intensive block in the eight weeks before the test, built on timed sets and full mock papers rather than new content.
Biology intensive
Biology only, for students whose Chemistry and Physics are already secure and whose Biology accuracy is not.
Cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours before your slot and the class is credited back to your tuition balance. Later cancellations are charged in full. Trial classes are always free. The full terms are in the refund policy. Fees for each plan are on the pricing page.
Questions parents ask first
MDCAT, answered plainly
Can I prepare for MDCAT while still in FSc Part II?
Yes, and most students do. The tutor plans around your board exams so the two do not compete for the same weeks, and a good share of the work serves both.
Do you guarantee admission or a score?
No. Admission depends on the merit formula, your FSc marks and the number of seats, none of which we control. We will tell you what your current mock scores suggest, in writing, and whether the target is realistic in the time left.
Is this for PMDC MDCAT or the NUMS test?
The course is built on the PMDC MDCAT syllabus. If you are also sitting a separate university test, tell us which one during the trial, and the tutor will say honestly how much the preparation overlaps.
Can explanations be in Urdu?
Yes. Many students follow explanation better in Urdu while practising answers in English, which is the language of the paper. The tutor switches between the two deliberately.
I am repeating MDCAT. Is a tutor worth it?
Often, because repeaters usually lose marks in the same places twice. Bring your previous score and any mock results to the trial and the tutor will show you where the marks went before you commit to anything.
