Focus on the most relevant subjects based on your program choice:

  • BS Nursing / DPT / Pharm-D → Biology, Chemistry, English
  • BS Computer Science / IT → Math, Physics, English
  • Diploma Programs → General Science, Urdu, Analytical Skills

Make a study calendar and review one subject per day with past board exam MCQs.
