A GIKI ENTRY TEST GUIDE

The GIKI Entry Test prep is often held in July, and registration typically opens in early June and closes in late June. This test is one of the few entry-level exams that still uses negative grading, and its format sets it apart from others.

It has been verified that this year’s exam will follow exactly the same format as the GIKI admission exam from last year. The exam will be paper-based and conducted concurrently at one time in several cities around Pakistan. The exam is only offered once, with no more dates scheduled.

The test has three different subjects of which two are in one separate portion and which are mentioned down below along with their respective weight-age in the exam:

Portion A (1 Hour and 30 Mins):

Mathematics : 30 questions (3 Marks per MCQ) Negative Marking : (-1)

Physics : 30 questions (3 Marks per MCQ) Negative Marking : (-1)

Portion B ( 30 Mins):

English : 20 questions (1 Mark per MCQ) No Negative Marking In This Portion

The test is overall 2 hours long while the total number of MCQ’s in the test is 80 and the total marks that are achievable in this test is 200. There is negative marking in the Maths and Physics portions of the paper but the English portion does not have any negative marking.

ADVICE AND SECRETS

Practice with previous exams

The GIKI Entry test prep is no exception, with past papers being especially crucial for preparation. Not only do past papers offer a general idea of the difficulty and type of questions asked, but they also serve as the best means of applying concepts learned from textbooks.

Additionally, it is commonly recognized that the GIKI examination is more challenging than other entrance exams, so you should study thoroughly. For practise and availability of old papers, you can also visit Topgrade.pk or download the Topgrade.pk app.

Time Management

Given that there are 80 questions on the examination and just two hours allotted for it, time management is crucial. While the majority of the questions in the English portion call for attentive reading and analysis, the questions in the mathematics and physics sections require a complete revision of the topics, thus careful time management is necessary.

Prepare subjects specific to the syllabus.

Since the course covers a large number of chapters and subjects, attention should be paid to which topics are covered in the syllabus. If you study for topics that are not covered in the syllabus, you will be wasting valuable time and effort.

Stay relaxed and keep calm

This is very important. You should remain calm and remain focused on the exam during the exam. If you encounter any difficult question during the paper, just mark it by a pencil and solve it later, thus wasting less time and moving on to the next question.

However you should save enough time in the end to review the paper.

Use online resources

Practice for GIKI Entry Test prep can also be done online as there are many websites offering past papers and sample papers as well. You can also visit Topgrade.pk Entry Test Preparation Website to prepare for the test by giving mock papers and are provided other preparation tools as well.

In the section on mathematics and physics, carefully attempt the questions.

Because there is negative marking in two areas of this Giki Entry test prep, it is advisable to approach questions cautiously and to skip them if you are unsure of the answer. Otherwise, negative marking could lower your score. But, there is a certain amount of risk, so bear that in mind as well and approach this part cautiously.

Attempt all questions of English portion

Since in this portion, there will be no negative marking so it is advised to attempt all questions even if you may not know the answer. Luck may run in your favour and the answer may be right since there is no consequence of losing marks. You should also leave enough time to review the exam in the end and try to solve every question for this portion.
