MDCAT Study Plan 2026
Only on TestUstadTell us how many days are left until your MDCAT 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 MDCAT 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 We do not publish the schedule itself, for the same reason: it is the part worth having.

Which chapters land on which day, how many MCQs each one gets and how the subjects interleave is the plan itself, so it is written the moment you start one.
The planner is inside Mock Tests. Tell it how many days are left and how many hours a day you can give, and your own MDCAT schedule is built in front of you, day by day, right through to the last mock. It comes with the MDCAT pack, along with progress tracking for MDCAT. Chapter-wise MDCAT MCQs stay free and unlimited without it.
