Free NUMS Preparation 2026
Free NUMS preparation with solved past papers, unlimited chapter-wise MCQs and full-length mock tests, every answer explained. No fee and no account needed to start. NUMS MDCAT is conducted by National University of Medical Sciences.
Admission test for MBBS and BDS programmes at NUMS-affiliated medical colleges, including the army medical colleges such as CMH Lahore. NUMS sets its own paper rather than the PMDC one, so it is a genuinely separate test and sitting the national MDCAT does not cover it. Paper-I is 150 academic MCQs in 2 hours 45 minutes; Paper-II is a separate 50-MCQ psychological assessment that is not modelled here.
NUMS MCQs with answers and explanations
Free NUMS MCQs for every subject on the paper: Biology, Chemistry, Physics and English. Each question is chapter-wise, taken from the National University of Medical Sciences syllabus, and carries a written explanation of why the correct option is correct, so a wrong attempt teaches you the fact you were missing instead of just marking you down. Unlimited attempts, no fee and no account needed. Pick the subject you are weakest in and start there.

NUMS Study Plan 2026
Only on TestUstadTell us how many days are left until your NUMS 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 NUMS 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 We do not publish the schedule itself, for the same reason: it is the part worth having.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 NUMS schedule is built in front of you, day by day, right through to the last mock. It comes with the NUMS pack, along with progress tracking for NUMS. Chapter-wise NUMS MCQs stay free and unlimited without it.

NUMS preparation: frequently asked questions
What is the NUMS paper pattern?
NUMS is 150 MCQs in 165 minutes, about 66 seconds a question. There is no negative marking. The marks are split across 4 subjects, led by Biology at 55 MCQs.
Which subjects are in the NUMS paper?
Biology (55 MCQs), Chemistry (40 MCQs), Physics (40 MCQs) and English (15 MCQs), 150 in total. Start with Biology: a weak chapter there costs more marks than a weak chapter anywhere else on the NUMS paper.
Is NUMS preparation on TestUstad really free?
Yes. All 57,892 NUMS MCQs here, across Biology, Chemistry and Physics and the rest of the paper, can be practised at no cost with the answer and explanation shown, and so can the 48 solved NUMS papers. Paid NUMS access only adds full-length NUMS mocks on the 150-MCQ pattern and a saved record of your scores.
How many free NUMS MCQs are there?
57,892 across the NUMS syllabus: 19,844 Biology MCQs, 13,720 Chemistry MCQs, 13,934 Physics MCQs and 10,394 English MCQs. Each one carries the correct answer and a written explanation, and attempts are unlimited.
How should I prepare for NUMS?
The NUMS syllabus here runs to 66 chapters across 4 subjects. Work through them in weightage order, Biology (55), Chemistry (40) and Physics (40) first, and stay on each chapter until you score above 80 percent. NUMS has no negative marking, so practise answering every question, including the ones you have to guess. Finish with the 48 solved papers from 2005 to 2025, timed at about 66 seconds a question.
How do I make a NUMS study plan?
Divide the 66 NUMS chapters across the days you have left and keep one day in seven for a full-length mock. Over a month that is about 17 chapters a week, with Biology taking the largest share. The TestUstad planner, part of the NUMS pack, builds this from your exam date and daily hours and reschedules any chapter you miss.
Are NUMS past papers available for free?
Yes. 48 solved NUMS papers, covering 2005 to 2025, can be sat online for free, timed and marked automatically, with an explanation on every answer. Across them, 233 questions have appeared in more than one year, listed on the most repeated NUMS MCQs page.
Who conducts the NUMS exam?
NUMS MDCAT is conducted by National University of Medical Sciences. Dates, eligibility and the fee change every cycle, so confirm them on the National University of Medical Sciences advertisement before you apply.
