NUST Preparation

A few points regarding NUST Entrance Test

This year NET-1 has been scheduled before the FSc exams and many students are worried
as they are not completely prepared for the test. So going through the past papers of NET
and discussing with the students who appeared in NET last year following conclusions have
been drawn related to the preparation of the test.
Preparing for the English Portion:
Most of the senior students advised to focus on vocabulary. The English portion of the test
which was held in July 2011 was easy. But in the second test (retest) that was held in
august 2011, it was really hard. In 2012, different tests were conducted on different days so
in some of the tests the vocab was hard while in some it was easy. The words included in
the tests seem to be from two sources:
1) Mr. Chips
2) SAT English
Since you guys are preparing for your FSc exams so try to learn the vocabulary of Mr.
chips. Secondly you must have the rules of grammar on your finger tips.
Preparing for Physics Portion:
In order to perform well in physics portion you must be good at concepts plus you must
have a good practice of solving the numerical problems. Most of the mcqs in physics portion
are numerical type, a few are the book lines. According to the students who took the test
last year, numericals from the last chapters of book 1 and book 2(Punjab board) were more
than the others. First of all you must know whats written inside your text books. Prepare a
formula sheet of all the formulae given in the books and go through them again and again.
Practice the numerical based questions from different books. Before searching for the
solution in key books try to solve the question on your own.
Preparing for Chemistry Portion:
According to your seniors, chemistry portions is added in order to check your cramming
skills.
Means in order to score good marks in chemistry you need to learn the text books by heart.
The more you learn, the more you score. And again for the numerical portion you must be
knowing all the formulas. Learn the organic portion well.
Preparing for Math Portion:
In portion of Maths almost all the questions are related to the book. Most of the questions
are from the text books just with a slight change in values. The rest are also from the text
books but those are asked in such a way that students get confused. A few such questions
were in the test of 2012 which I posted. So in order to solve these type of questions you
must be knowing all the underlying concepts. Do read the book lines, some questions are

also taken out from those lines. Learn the properties of logarithms, learn the theorems in
maths of class 9th and 10th and in FSc, you must be knowing when and where to apply a
certain formula. The integration and differentiation part must be well prepared. The chapter
4th of book 2 related to lines and their equations sometimes brings the most tricky
questions.
Preparing for Biology Portion:
Out of 200, 80 questions are from bio. Most of the questions are the book lines. So if you
learn your book lines along with all tables and other such information then you would be
able to solve most of the questions in biology portion. A few of the question are difficult and
according to the students those are from SAT books. So if you are done with your FSc
syllabus you can go through the SAT books also.
