ANF marking scheme 2026
Every ANF MCQ carries one mark, for a total of 50 marks, one per question. Nothing is deducted for a wrong answer, so an unanswered question and a wrong answer score exactly the same: zero. That makes leaving anything blank a pure loss. Attempt all 50 MCQs, and in the last few minutes fill in every remaining bubble even if you are guessing outright.
ANF time per subject
60 minutes across 50 MCQs is about 72 seconds a question. Split by weightage, that is the time each subject is worth. Going over on one subject is borrowed from another, not from spare time, because there is none.
| Subject | MCQs | Minutes |
|---|---|---|
| English | 10 | 12 |
| General Knowledge | 10 | 12 |
| Pakistan Studies | 8 | 10 |
| Pakistan Current Affairs | 5 | 6 |
| Islamic Studies | 5 | 6 |
| Everyday Science | 5 | 6 |
| Mathematics | 5 | 6 |

How to prepare for the ANF 2026 pattern
The pattern tells you where the marks are, not where you are losing them. Start with English, because it carries 20 percent of the paper and a weak chapter there is the most expensive weak chapter you can have. Inside each subject, work chapter by chapter and stay on a chapter until you are consistently above 80 percent before moving on.
Then practise at the real pace. Untimed revision hides the problem that actually costs marks in the hall, which is spending three minutes on a question worth 72 seconds and running out of paper before you run out of time. Sit full papers under the clock, and mark them honestly.
