CA QAT Study Plan 2026
Only on TestUstadTell us how many days are left until your CA QAT and how many hours a day you can give, and we divide the entire syllabus across them. Every day gets its own chapters, a set of MCQs to learn from with the explanation shown as you go, and a short timed test on the same chapters that evening. Every seventh day is a full-length mock on the real CA QAT pattern. Miss a few days and the plan rebalances itself so you still finish on time.
Starting earlier does not give you an easier day, it gives you a deeper one. The hours stay what you said you can manage; the extra time goes into covering each chapter properly, so a long plan puts you through several times as many MCQs as a short one.
Nobody else in Pakistan sells you a schedule. They sell you a question bank and leave you to work out what to do with it, which is the part students actually get wrong. We do not publish the schedule itself, for the same reason: it is the part worth having.

CA QAT guides: the questions candidates ask in sentences
Format, scoring, what each stage requires and how to prepare, written to be read rather than practised.
How does Chartered Accountancy in Pakistan work, from PRC to membership?
The ICAP chartered accountancy route from entry to membership: the levels (PRC, CAF, CFAP and MSA), how each is examined, the training contract with a firm or in industry, exemptions for graduates and other qualifications, the realistic timeline, what it costs in broad terms, and what CA leads to in Pakistan and abroad.
What are the CA entry requirements, and who has to sit the QAT?
ICAP's entry requirements for chartered accountancy: the intermediate and A Level marks for direct entry to PRC, the band that requires the Qualifying Assessment Test, what the QAT tests and how to prepare for it, the graduate route, and how to register with ICAP and a tutor.
CA, ACCA or CMA: which accountancy qualification should you choose in Pakistan?
The three accountancy qualifications Pakistani students choose between, compared on what each is, the examining body, difficulty and pass rates, duration, cost in broad terms, training requirements, recognition in Pakistan and abroad, exemptions between them, and which suits which student.
How do you plan the CA PRC papers across sessions?
A plan for clearing all five PRC papers in two or three sessions: which papers to pair, the order that puts the hardest paper first with the most time, a week-by-week schedule for a two-paper session built on timed question practice, what to do alongside intermediate or a job, and how to recover a failed paper without losing the session.

CA QAT preparation: frequently asked questions
What is the CA QAT paper pattern?
CA QAT is 100 MCQs in 120 minutes. There is no negative marking, so never leave a question unanswered. The subject weightage is listed in full on this page.
How do I make a CA QAT study plan?
Start from the days you actually have, not from the syllabus. Count the days until your CA QAT, divide the chapters across them so every subject is touched every week rather than blocked into one month, and end each day with a short timed test on the chapters you just did. Sit a full-length mock every seventh day so the clock stops being a surprise. TestUstad builds exactly this for you inside Mock Tests: tell the planner how many days are left and how many hours a day you can give, and it schedules the whole syllabus day by day, then rebalances itself if you fall behind.
Who conducts the CA QAT exam?
CA Qualifying Assessment Test is conducted by Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan. Always confirm dates, eligibility and the fee on the conducting body's own advertisement, since those change every cycle.
How should I prepare for CA QAT?
Work through the syllabus one topic at a time, solving MCQs on each topic until you are consistently scoring above 80 percent, and read the explanation on every question you get wrong. Move to solved past papers once a subject feels solid, then sit full-length timed mocks in the final weeks so the clock stops being a surprise.
Are CA QAT past papers available for free?
Yes, free and with no signup. CA QAT past papers on TestUstad are solved online rather than downloaded as a PDF, so each paper is timed and marked automatically and every answer comes with an explanation. That is the difference between reading a paper and actually sitting it.
Is CA QAT preparation on TestUstad really free?
Yes. Solving CA QAT MCQs is free and unlimited: no daily limit, no trial that expires, no card, and no account needed to start. Paid plans only add the things that require your history to be saved, which is score tracking over time, weak-topic analytics and full-length premium mock tests.
Which subject should I start with for CA QAT?
English, because it is the heaviest subject on the CA QAT paper at 40 MCQs of 100. A weak topic in the heaviest subject costs you more marks than a weak topic anywhere else, so the subject weightage table on this page is the order worth revising in. Start there, then work down.
How many free CA QAT MCQs are there?
There are 14,304 free CA QAT MCQs on TestUstad across every subject on the paper, each with the correct answer and a written explanation. Attempts are unlimited and no account is needed, so nothing here is a sample that runs out.
