How we made this

The new PGET has not been sat yet, so there is no track record of past candidates to learn from. We built this guide from the official UHS table of specifications, the UHS recommended book list for Paper I, the UHS PGET 2026 announcement, and preparation guidance published online by Pakistani education news and admissions sites. Written in October 2026. UHS can change dates, timings and specifications, so check uhs.edu.pk and admissions.uhs.edu.pk before you rely on anything here.

The exam in one minute

Sunday 25 October 2026. Paper I runs 10:00 to 12:00 and Paper II runs 13:00 to 15:00, each 100 single-best MCQs in 2 hours.
Paper I is basic sciences, common to all MBBS graduates: Anatomy 20, Physiology 19, Pathology 13, Pharmacology 13, Community Medicine 12, Biochemistry 11, Microbiology 7, Behavioural Sciences 5.
Paper II tests the specialty group you applied for, such as Medicine and Allied, Surgery and Allied, or Paediatric Medicine.
The pass mark is the 75th percentile, and your PGET score makes up 75% of your induction merit.

Route 1

If you prefer books on paper

Snell Clinical Anatomy by Regions or Moore Clinically Oriented Anatomy, with Snell Clinical Neuroanatomy: Paper I anatomy, the largest block (20 MCQs). Pick one regional book and stick with it.
Laiq Hussain General Anatomy and Histology, Junqueira Histology, Langman Embryology: Paper I general anatomy, histology and embryology questions.
Guyton and Hall; Lippincott and Harper Biochemistry: Paper I physiology (19) and biochemistry (11).
Robbins and Cotran; Katzung; Levinson Microbiology and Immunology: Paper I pathology (13), pharmacology (13) and microbiology (7).
Park or Irfanullah Siddiqui Community Medicine; Mowadat Rana Behavioural Sciences: Paper I community medicine (12) and behavioural sciences (5). Short subjects that are quick to score in.
Your standard specialty textbook (for example Davidson for Medicine and Allied, Bailey and Love for Surgery): Paper II. Read it against the UHS table of specifications for your group rather than cover to cover.

Step by step

Download the table of specifications Get the UHS table of specifications for Paper I and for your Paper II group. Print it and tick topics off as you cover them. It tells you where the marks are.
Split your time by marks, not by habit Paper I and Paper II carry equal weight. Unless one is clearly weaker, give them roughly equal time each week, and within Paper I spend most on anatomy, physiology, pathology and pharmacology, which make up 65 of the 100 questions.
Revise basic sciences clinically Learn anatomy, physiology and pharmacology alongside the conditions they explain. This helps Paper I and also feeds into Paper II.
Work the specialty paper by topic For Paper II, study a topic, then do MCQs on it straight away. Read the explanation for every question, including those you got right.
Rehearse the full day Sit at least one mock day with Paper I in the morning and Paper II after a break, at the real times. Practise eating, resting and resetting in the gap between papers.
Use the last fortnight for review Stop starting new books. Go back over your wrong answers, high-yield lists and the small subjects such as behavioural sciences and microbiology.

Short on time?

Prioritise anatomy, physiology, pathology and pharmacology for Paper I.
For Paper II, do topic-based MCQs with explanations rather than reading chapters.
Do at least one timed 100-question paper for each paper before the test.

Common mistakes

Spending all your time on the specialty paper and neglecting basic sciences, which is half the test.
Ignoring short subjects such as behavioural sciences and microbiology, which are relatively easy marks.
Never practising two 2-hour papers in one day, then running out of focus in the afternoon.
Trusting recalled answers without checking them in a standard textbook.

Screen or paper?

Try one week on screen. If you remember what you read and can keep going for 2–3 hours, stay on screen. If not, use Route 1 and use the website only for MCQ practice.
