Smeer's right guys. One thing to also keep in mind though, is that entry tests will hardly cover anything conceptual. Concept-based learning isn't exactly something a lot of schools stress in Pakistan.

Most questions will ask you for an exact regurgitation of what's in those Fsc books, which may even be an ordered list.

Just to give you an idea of some of the outrageous questions that could be asked, if you look in the old multiple choice question books (available at a lot of book stores) you'll see they go so far as to ask things like, "What is the atmospheric pressure in the city of Murree?"

So yeah, AP concepts, great for knowledge-- not so great for entry tests, unfortunately :-/
