Preparation Tips:

The merit list, which is finalized by the progress section of NUMS, takes into account three things. These three things are the scores that you have been awarded in your result of FSc and Intermediate. These two factors make about half, which is fifty percent of your standing in the merit list. The other half of your test depends only on the numbers that you have scored in the entry test. Therefore, whenever you’re about to give the test for NUMS, make sure that you have prepared thoroughly for this test because the blow of even one mistake can cost you a lot. The following are the tips that you must keep in mind while preparing for this test:-

Past Papers:

The most common excuse that students make after not performing exceptionally ( I am using the word” exceptionally” because only an exceptional performance in this test can secure you a position on merit list) is that they had no idea of how the test was going to be conducted. So, to avoid making the same mistake students should always use the facility of past papers. By using this facility, they can get o know forehand the minute details of the test, which will help them massively in attempting their exam to the fullest.

Attempting Past papers will help you to understand your standing in the test. As I have mentioned in the above paragraphs, the NUMS test is a constellation of four subjects. Now, not everyone can be a maestro in all these four. So, by attempting the Past Papers, you can get to know your strengths and weaknesses. By getting to know them, you can then simply work hard on your particular weakness to perfection.

It would not be wrong if I say that the test of NUMS is basically a test of your memory. Attempting these tests would not be hard for those who still remember the books from ninth to twelfth class, but since this is not humanly possible to remember the past knowledge of four years. Therefore, by solving some recent papers, you can have an idea of what topics you might need to focus on more.

Consistency:

Consistency is vital in every test that you might undertake, not particularly NUMS’s entry test. You should be consistent in preparing for this test. This test is basically a test of your knowledge since all of it is in the form of MCQ. Therefore, it demands that you have a good set of memory. To develop his skill, you should never let things be dragged into the last phase of your test as things would get busier and busier till the last day comes. On the last day, instead of burning your midnight oil, you should be so consistent for the preparation of this test that you ought o have no need to study in the last night.

Focus:

While preparing for this test, you should have clear vision. Your only goal should be to ace it. Do not put off this test as a second chance. You should know that acing this test could get you that future which you have been working so hard for. Whenever you are preparing for this test. Put off your mobile phone and social media. You should accept no distraction.

Information:

We are basically living in an age of information. Any type of information that you get from previous people who have cleared this test or at least have taken this test could give you just the right amount of guidelines. Using these guidelines, one can develop his or her plan and could work according to it.

Ask the current student of NUMS how they had cleared their test, and what was their studying routine. Using that information, you could simply chalk out a plan that could get you standing on NUMS’s merit list.

I hope this helps.
