Pakistan Army Medical Cadet Route study plan
Pakistan Army Medical Cadet Route · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
Intelligence and Verbal/Non-Verbal Reasoning & Biology
Sit a timed 60-question baseline paper covering verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning and biology, and tabulate accuracy by question type
Build a 150-word vocabulary list from roots, prefixes and suffixes, and write one original sentence for each word
Summarise the eight core biology units (cell, biomolecules, enzymes, transport, nutrition, respiration, excretion, coordination) as single-page notes
Draw and label the animal cell, plant cell and human digestive system from memory without notes
Your checkpoint
Baseline score sheet by sub-type plus eight one-page biology summaries and three hand-drawn labelled diagrams
Intelligence and Verbal/Non-Verbal Reasoning & Biology
Drill 20 non-verbal items daily across series, analogies, matrices, odd-one-out, coding and paper folding
Memorise cell division, Mendelian genetics and human circulatory/respiratory physiology, then reproduce each from memory
Solve 30 verbal analogy and classification items in 25 minutes and review every wrong answer
Explain each biology error in writing, stating the correct concept and why the chosen option failed
Your checkpoint
A 50-item reasoning set solved at 70% or higher plus five from-memory physiology diagrams and a written error review
Biology & Chemistry
Balance 30 chemical equations and compute moles, mass, concentration and gas volumes
Construct a one-page periodic-trend and bonding reference table (atomic radius, ionisation energy, electronegativity, bond types)
Write the photosynthesis and respiration pathways, enzyme kinetics and bioenergetics from memory
Answer 25 mixed biology-chemistry questions under timed conditions and correct them
Your checkpoint
A 20-question chemistry quiz scored at 75% or above, plus the periodic-trend sheet and a corrected biology-chemistry test
Intelligence and Verbal/Non-Verbal Reasoning & Chemistry
Complete two 60-item timed reasoning sections in 45 minutes each and compare sub-type accuracy between attempts
Identify 15 functional groups and distinguish structural isomerism types with worked examples
Consolidate weeks 1-3 into a single error log sorted by cause (knowledge gap, misread, time pressure)
Re-attempt every logged error until each is answered correctly twice in a row
Your checkpoint
Consolidated error log with all entries re-cleared, and a reasoning score of 75% or higher on the second timed section
Physics & English
Solve 40 numericals on kinematics, Newton's laws, work-energy and momentum, showing full working
Work 15 circuit numericals applying Ohm's law, series-parallel resistance and electrical power
Write two 150-word English essays in 30 minutes each on current-affairs and personality themes
Complete 20 sentence-correction and sentence-completion items and justify each correction
Your checkpoint
Physics numerical set scored at 70% or above with working shown, plus two timed essays and a corrected English grammar set
English & Mathematics
Solve 60 mathematics items on ratio, percentage, average, algebra and basic geometry in 60 minutes
Answer 60 synonym-antonym and vocabulary-in-context items and record unknown words
Read five comprehension passages and answer inference and tone questions within a fixed time budget
Rework every mathematics mistake with the correct method written beside it
Your checkpoint
Timed 50-question mathematics paper fully marked and corrected, plus a five-passage comprehension log with scores
Psychological / Personality Assessment & Interview, Group Discussion and Group Tasks
Complete two full personality questionnaires answering honestly and consistently, then note any answers that felt forced
Draft ten STAR-format stories covering motivation for the Army, leadership, teamwork, discipline, failure and conflict
Take part in two mock group discussions and one planning-style group task, then write a self-review of contribution and listening
Record a 10-minute mock interview and mark it against clarity, structure, confidence and honesty
Your checkpoint
Ten written STAR stories plus a recorded mock interview with a completed self-assessment checklist
Intelligence and Verbal/Non-Verbal Reasoning & Biology
Sit two full-length mock papers under strict exam conditions covering all written domains
Re-drill weak reasoning and biology sub-types flagged in the mock analysis
Rehearse the interview and group task once more with a peer acting as assessor
Compress each domain into a one-page final revision sheet for last-day review
Your checkpoint
Two completed full-length mocks at 75% or above overall, plus eight one-page final revision sheets
Milestones
Week 2: Reasoning accuracy at 70% or higher on a timed 50-item set, and all eight core biology units reproduced from memory without notes
Week 4: Score 70% or higher on a 100-question mixed mock covering domains 1, 2 and 3, with every error logged and re-cleared
Week 6: Mathematics paper completed within time at 70% or above, and both timed English essays written inside 30 minutes each
Week 8: Two full-length mocks completed under exam conditions at 75% or above overall, with interview and group task rehearsals recorded and self-reviewed
