The COMSATS Entry Test covers Quantitative, Analytical, English and Subject specific. Subject specific is the biggest section, with 30 questions, so it shapes your score more than any other part. The rest of the paper is Quantitative with 20, Analytical with 20 and English with 20.
The COMSATS Entry Test has 90 MCQs. Every section sits in the same paper, so keeping your focus to the last question matters as much as knowing the content.
Subject specific. It carries about 33% of the marks, so a small gain in accuracy there moves your total more than the same gain anywhere else. It is the natural place to start, with the other sections built around it.
The COMSATS Entry Test is marked out of 100. That score then goes into the COMSATS merit formula alongside your Matric and Intermediate marks.
No. A wrong answer scores 0, so nothing is lost by guessing. That changes how you should sit the paper: never leave a question blank, and use the last few minutes to fill in anything you skipped.
No. Practise working without one so arithmetic does not slow you down on the day, and learn the shortcuts that keep calculations short.
COMSATS merit combines your test score with your Matric and Intermediate marks, each with its own weight. Because the test is part of that formula, a higher test score can make up for weaker school marks. The AceMax aggregate calculator applies the university's weights and shows your number.
