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 preparation: frequently asked questions
What is the NUMS paper pattern?
NUMS is 150 MCQs in 165 minutes. There is no negative marking, so never leave a question unanswered. The subject weightage is listed in full on this page.
Who conducts the NUMS exam?
NUMS MDCAT is conducted by National University of Medical Sciences. Always confirm dates, eligibility and the fee on the conducting body's own advertisement, since those change every cycle.
How should I prepare for NUMS?
Work through the syllabus one topic at a time, solving MCQs on each topic until you are consistently scoring above 80 percent, and read the explanation on every question you get wrong. Move to solved past papers once a subject feels solid, then sit full-length timed mocks in the final weeks so the clock stops being a surprise.
Are NUMS past papers available for free?
Yes, free and with no signup. NUMS past papers on TestUstad are solved online rather than downloaded as a PDF, so each paper is timed and marked automatically and every answer comes with an explanation. That is the difference between reading a paper and actually sitting it.
Is NUMS preparation on TestUstad really free?
Yes. Solving NUMS MCQs is free and unlimited: no daily limit, no trial that expires, no card, and no account needed to start. Paid plans only add the things that require your history to be saved, which is score tracking over time, weak-topic analytics and full-length premium mock tests.
