General Courses
MD-CAT Preparation
Preparation (on campus or online) for the PMDC MDCAT: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English and Logical Reasoning, with full-length mock tests.
About this course
A 3-month course, on campus or online, for the Medical and Dental Colleges Admission Test (MDCAT) conducted under the PMDC. Classes follow the PMDC MDCAT syllabus subject by subject, with topic tests after each unit and timed full-length mock tests in the MCQ format.
The recent PMDC format has 180 MCQs in 3 hours across Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English and Logical Reasoning. Always check the PMDC for the current year's syllabus, date and passing marks.
What you'll achieve
- Cover the full PMDC syllabus with the most time on Biology
- Solve MCQs at the speed needed for 180 questions in 3 hours
- Find and fix weak chapters through weekly tests
- Score above the 55% (medical) or 50% (dental) pass mark in mocks
