FAST NUCES ENTRY TEST GUIDE

Instructions:
 The test will be presented to you consisting of total 4 sections
o 1) Advance Mathematics
o 2) Basic Math
o 3) IQ and logical reasoning
o 4) English

 There will be total 120 MCQ’s questions and total marks will be 100.
o 50 MCQ’s of Advance Math
o 20 MCQ’s of Basic Math
o 20 MCQ’s of IQ and logical reasoning
o 30 MCQ’s of English

 You will have total 120 minutes (i.e. 2 hours) to solve the paper.

 As the test is computerized, each section (subject) will be given a specific time slot for
you to solve it (depending on no. of MCQ’s in each section = time given in minutes for
that section).

 You have to solve all the questions of a section at the given time (shown on timer) For
example. You will be given 50 mins to solve the Advance Mathematics section. You
need to complete this section before the timer is up. (Completing) doesn’t mean that
you have to attempt all the questions, including the one’s you are not sure about. We
will come to that later in this part in detail.

 REMEMBER you can’t shift between different sections at any time. Means if somehow
you have completed your Advance Math portion and time is up (50 mins+). Then you
will be directed by the computer to another section (i.e. Basic Math), now you can’t go
back to your Advance Math section in the whole paper duration!
 This also lead us to a conclusion that the computer will assign you sections on its own
choice, most probably your 1st section will be of Advance Math, after that it can be
either English, Basic Math or IQ. So, be prepared mentally for each section and adjust
your time thoroughly.

 TIME MANAGEMENT IS CRUCIAL! You can see that you will be given almost 1 min to
solve each question. So, don’t waste much time on questions which you are not sure
you can solve it, just leave it (un-attempted). If the question requires some calculations
and you know that you can solve it under 2 mins then go for it while manage your time
on the rest of the questions. (Work Smartly!)

 Each MCQ of Advance, Basic Math, and IQ will be of 1 mark, while each MCQ of English
portion will be of 0.33 mark (0.33 x 30 = 10 marks). So, 50 (Adv. Math) + 20 (Basic Math)
+ 20 (IQ) + 10 (English) = 100 marks

 Always REMEMBER “There’s NEGATIVE MARKING in test”. Means if a MCQ of any


section is wrong (answer incorrect) then your 1/4th mark (which is 0.25) of the total
mark of the MCQ (which is 1) will be deduct from your Total Score. So, Negative marking
in Adv. Math or Basic Math or IQ section for each mcq will be 0.25 marks, while for
English one mcq it will be 0.0825 mark (because (0.33/4)= 0.0825).

 For example. In Adv. Math portion you attempted 50/50 questions. 35 of these answers
were correct (You have got 35 marks) but also remember 15 of your attempted mcq’s
were wrong so that means (0.25 x 15 = 3.75 marks) This 3.75 marks will now be
deducted from your Score on correct answer. So, 35-3.75 = 31.25 marks. These are the
total marks you have scored in Adv. Math portion.

 Conclusion, attempt only those questions which you are sure about, leave those un-
attempted which you are not sure about, because negative marking will be quite hurtful
to your objected score. So, please be cautious about that!
