FAQ

MDCAT 2026, answered.

Real questions students ask, with answers that don't pretend the exam is simpler than it is.

MDCAT 2026 — the exam

When is the MDCAT 2026 exam?

MDCAT 2026 is scheduled for 16 August 2026 per the latest PMDC announcement. Always verify the date on the official PMDC portal closer to the exam — these dates can shift.

Which subjects are tested in MDCAT 2026?

MDCAT 2026 covers five subjects: Biology (81 MCQs, 45%), Chemistry (45, 25%), Physics (36, 20%), English (9, 5%), and Logical Reasoning (9, 5%) — distributed across 180 MCQs per the official PMDC pattern.

How many MCQs are in the MDCAT exam?

The MDCAT exam consists of 180 multiple-choice questions covering all five subjects, taken over 3 hours. Brainova's full mock exams match this count and timing.

Is there negative marking in MDCAT 2026?

No. Per PMDC's official Uniform Curriculum, MDCAT has no negative marking — an unanswered question and a wrong answer both score zero. Always attempt every MCQ; leaving questions blank is the most common avoidable score loss.

What's the passing percentage for MDCAT?

PMDC sets the minimum pass marks at 55% for medical college admission and 50% for dental college admission. These thresholds are confirmed in the official PMDC Uniform Curriculum.

Is MDCAT online or paper-based?

MDCAT is a paper-based multiple-choice test administered at PMDC-designated centers. Brainova's mock-exam interface mirrors paper-based pacing — answer all 180 MCQs within the 3-hour window.

Brainova — the platform

How many MCQs does Brainova have?

Brainova has 12,000+ practice MCQs mapped to the current PMDC syllabus across Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English, and Logical Reasoning. The bank grows weekly.

Are the questions aligned with the latest PMDC syllabus?

Yes. All MCQs are tagged to the current 2026 PMDC syllabus — not recycled from 2019 papers. We update the bank as the syllabus and pattern evolve.

Does Brainova prevent question repetition?

Yes. Smart selection tracks every MCQ you've attempted. You won't see the same question twice unless you got it wrong and need another shot at it.

What's included in the performance analytics?

Predicted MDCAT score, weekly accuracy trends, chapter-by-chapter mastery, difficulty handling (easy/medium/hard breakdown), question-type strength (conceptual vs book-line), and a daily revision list ranked by what will move your marks most.

What past papers are included?

Brainova includes past papers from major Pakistani entry-test boards — ETEA, UHS, NUMS, and others — with step-by-step explanations for every question.

Can I use Brainova on my phone?

Yes. Brainova works in any modern browser on mobile, tablet, and desktop. No app download required.

Pricing & billing

How much does Brainova Pro cost?

Brainova Pro is PKR 2,500 one-time (50% off launch price, until 30 June 2026) for the full MDCAT 2026 season — less than the cost of a single day at most physical academies.

Is the price monthly or one-time?

One-time. You pay PKR 2,500 once (50% off launch price, until 30 June 2026) and you get Pro access until MDCAT 2026 exam day. No renewals, no auto-charges.

Does Brainova offer a refund?

Yes. Brainova has a 7-day money-back guarantee. If Pro doesn't show you exactly which chapters are costing you marks, you get a full refund — no forms, no questions.

Can I start free and upgrade later?

Yes. The free plan lets you try Brainova with 3 practice tests and 1 full mock exam. Upgrade to Pro any time from your dashboard.

Is the free plan enough to prepare for MDCAT?

The free plan is for trying the platform — 3 tests and 1 mock won't prepare you for the real exam. Serious preparation needs the full question bank, past papers, and analytics that come with Pro.

Account & support

How do I sign up?

Click 'Get Started Free' anywhere on the site, enter your email, verify, and you're in. Free plan activates instantly.

How do I contact support?

WhatsApp is the fastest way — Pro users get priority replies. The WhatsApp link is in the footer of every page.

I forgot my password. What do I do?

Click 'Forgot Password' on the login page, enter your email, and you'll get a reset link within a minute. Check your spam folder if it doesn't arrive.

Can I share my account with a friend?

We don't restrict sharing technically, but a single account tracks one person's progress. If two students share, the analytics become meaningless for both — defeating the entire point of the platform.

Is my data private?

Yes. Brainova stores your attempts and analytics, but we don't sell student data and we don't share it with academies or other parties. Standard SSL, standard data hygiene.
