Hello Nudrat,
Are u taking Aga khan's test this year ? I can tell u everything about the test that u want to know.. I took the test last year and I passed it and then I was required to get atleast 3 B's in A level before I cud be interviewed ..but unfortunately i got 1 B and 2 C's in A level due to Practicals .... !
Anyhow ... for Aga khan u shud study from Federal board books.... i mean Phy, chem, botany and zoology ....u shud study ffrom them! Thats a minimum .... apart from them u shud study those topics from else where like A level books etc ... but U MUST study them from federal board books bcoz thats where they give the test from ! And try not to memorize things from those books ! Just make your concepts crystal clear ... they dont ask complicated topics ... they give questions on very simple phenomenon but they questions are a bit diff however easier for those whose concepts are clear !
And one more thing, in Aga khan's application it is stated that the maths section comes from matric ...but thats not so ...there are so many questions that are not there in matric... for example last year when i was taking the test .... there was a question on "probability ". This topic is NOT in matric book ! The best way to prepare for maths of the entry test is to study the O Level Maths book ! That wud be enough. And then for practice try solving the maths questions of SAT I maths....
If u want to know anything else .... feel free to ask ...
See ya

HI
I got 69% in the last test, but I believe this score wasn't competitive. I am taking the test from islamabad, wat abt u. And how come u are taking the test again aren't u ineligible coz of two C's.
Anyways I have heard that going through SATII subjects is more beneficial wat do u say??

well I think the content in FSc book is enough, and as far as my prep is concerned I think I would just go through the frequently asked topics from the FSc books and for the rest I would just stick to the sat subject books as I don't have enough time!!
