📌 Not Yet in the Published TOS
The current document does not include tables for the BDS Paper I, the dental Paper II, Anaesthesia or Paediatric Medicine. If you are applying in these areas, watch uhs.edu.pk for an updated TOS.
🎯 How to Use the TOS
- ✔️ Weight your time: spend it in proportion to the MCQ counts above
- ✔️ Stay at house-job level: Paper II tests MBBS knowledge and its clinical application up to house job, not postgraduate depth
- ✔️ Practise single best answer: every MCQ has one best option, so practise ruling out near-correct distractors
