What is an entrance test for medical colleges and who has to take it?If you are applying to a private medical college in Pakistan you will most likely have to take an entrance exam unless you take another exam which the college deems acceptable. Many private colleges will allow you to instead of taking the entrance exam submit scores from the SAT Subject Tests in biology, physics, and chemistry.
Government schools on the other hand require an entrance test from all local students and do not require any entrance examination or SAT Subject Test scores from foreign applicants.
The entrance exams usually cover biology, physics, and chemistry in equal portions and then attribute a small section to English and mathematics. Books are available in bookshops all around Pakistan that have previous exam questions in them along with study guides. Also in the past students have told us that they found the F.Sc textbooks for biology, chemistry and physics to be the most helpful. These too are available at local bookstores.

U will have to prepare the Matric's 9th and 10th books for that (Remember it does not consist of algebra only). BTW its pretty simple and doesn't require a calculator. But studying both books is compulsory. These 10 marks can act wonders!! | | | |

i am terrified about the entry exam already! Well, i want to apply somewhere in Islamabad. So, i was wondering that do any of you guys know any test prep centers in Islamabad? Are all the Fsc books the same or not? Ranking wise, how hard is the entry exam for IIMC, Shifa, and AMC?
Do you need an American passport in order for you to apply as a foreigner? Or a green card good enough? | | | |

Sorry don't know anything about Passports and Green Card, i think u have to show the passport to confirm that u r a foreigner.
Regarding the rankings Shifa is the best here, then mayb AMC and IMC is the last. It got recognized last year! BTW Shifa stands second in all over Pakistan after Aga Khan....! 
About their entry test IMC is the easiest then Shifa and then AMC (hardest).
There are many test preperation centres here in Islamabad as well as Rawalpindi.
Zawiya, Global etc etc. Depends where u want admission.  | | | |

For Shifa local/foreigner status depends on where you completed your secondary education.

She should better try again for the government colleges, must have prepared the whole year rather than wasting it cuz private sector don't have cheap colleges. 3 lakh RS are the minimum possible dues.
Mayb u shud look at Shariff Medical college, don't know much about it myself but u can try. | | | |
