be careful about this...it varies for different schools. The competition is increasing every year and many schools actually depend on your scores. Don't go into the entrance test with the mindset that it isn't important. For more info about entrance tests and find out how others are studying read the following thread: http://medstudentz.com/pakistan-medi...ar-2007-a.html

entering on a local seat is a lot cheaper than paying foreign fees. but just a warning...if the local students find out that you took a local seat they may hold it against you

Different schools follow different books. make sure to ask other students which books they're reading from (although be careful in that they might not always be willing to tell you the truth).
