SSE Test

SSE Admission test comprises of a mix of MCQ of Mathematics and other relevant subjects. Based on concepts of prevailing courses in Pakistan.

Mathematics

Mathematics is compulsory for all categories.
Math questions seem quite different for F.Sc. students. Actually, questions are based on general concepts they have acquired over a period during their studies at college. A prospect test taker may start his preparation for SSE from SAT Mathematics I-C. The book for SAT mathematics I-C is available in the market. The book provides a steady start for the section preparation. After, the student goes through the book, he should move towards SAT Mathematic II-C.
A 'Level students may start their preparation right from SAT Mathematics II-C.
Many topics in SAT Mathematics II-C are not covered in prevailing syllabi in Pakistan. The students should not worry about them. They can understand these topics by reading some subject books or by having coaching through some test preparatory institutions.

Advance Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology

The questions in these sections are not limited to the F.Sc. or A 'Level course parameters. They are based on the topic concepts which the students in Pakistan have acquired over a long period during their studies but the methods to solve such questions are quite different and logical. No single book can help you to prepare SSE subject section. You can buy SAT II Physics, Chemistry, or Biology from the market initially.
Truly speaking, these books are not effective in the preparation of SSE test. After observing local books available in the market, we found books - MCAT-AKU, MCAT-Smart Brain Series, ECAT-Smart Brain Series written by Muhammad Idrees (Teacher at College of Admission Tests, Multan Website: www.cat.edu.pk which contains questions meeting the level and nature of MCQs that normally appear in the SSE. We can say that College of Admission Tests can be suitable institution to guide you. You can download sample question sets to observe the type of questions.
