The MDCAT (Medical and Dental College Admission Test) is the national entry test for MBBS and BDS in Pakistan, set by the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) and held by universities in each province. NET Prep arranges its MDCAT practice by the PMDC's own chapters, so you study exactly what the paper tests — and leaves out topics that are not on the PMDC curriculum.

MDCAT — common questions
How many questions are in the MDCAT?
180 multiple-choice questions in 3 hours: Biology 81, Chemistry 45, Physics 36, English 9 and Logical Reasoning 9. There is no negative marking.
What is the MDCAT pass mark?
PMDC's minimum is 55% for MBBS and 50% for BDS. For the 2025–26 session PMDC allowed universities to lower this by up to 3 percentage points to fill vacant seats.
Does this follow the PMDC syllabus?
Yes. Practice is arranged by the PMDC's own MDCAT chapters, and questions on topics outside the PMDC curriculum are left out of MDCAT practice and mocks.
Is it free?
A free account gives 20-question MDCAT mini mocks and 10-question practice sessions in every chapter, with full solutions. Full access unlocks every question and the complete 180-question mock.
