What subjects will the admission test feature?

Applicants in Class I-XII sit an admission test for English, Mathematics and Urdu. The test lasts approximately one hour per subject. The admission test is a comprehensive assessment of all the basics the child has learned in the previous grade. Applicants are expected to have a reasonable understanding of the previous year’s curriculum so that they may be prepared for the coming year.

Foreign born Pakistani students and foreign citizen applicants have the option to forego the Urdu section of the admission test if they are not proficient in the language.

How can an applicant prepare for the admission test?

We understand that admissions tests can be overwhelming for some students, therefore we provide applicants the option to see a test outline beforehand so that they may prepare and revise before they sit their test.
