English on KMU examines the same chapters as NUMS, ETEA MDCAT, MDCAT, so the chapter shares measured across those 37 papers (2005 to 2025) are applied to the 9 English MCQs KMU actually carries. The ranking is measured; the totals are KMU's own. Once KMU papers are added here, this table is recomputed from them.
