MDCAT Past Papers by Year (2015–2025)
Last updated 2 August 2026
Past papers are the closest thing to seeing the exam before you sit it. They tell you how deep the questions actually go, which topics come back year after year, and how fast you need to move — things no syllabus list can teach you.
One thing to get straight first: the MDCAT has not been the same paper every year. It was a 220-question UHS paper for Punjab until 2019, became a 210-question national exam under the PMC from 2020, and since 2023 each province has conducted its own 200-question paper on one PMDC syllabus — KMU for KP, UHS for Punjab, and so on. Anyone quoting you a single format for every year has not checked. Each card below says exactly what its own year was.

How to actually use a past paper
Reading a past paper with the answer key open feels productive and teaches you almost nothing. Two habits separate students who gain marks from past papers and students who only feel busy:
- Sit it timed, once, cold. One pass under the real clock, no notes, no pausing. That score is your honest baseline — and the panic of running out of time is exactly the thing you want to feel now instead of in the hall.
- Then spend longer on the review than the paper. For every question you missed, work out whether you did not know it, misread it, or ran out of time. Three different problems, three different fixes. Repeated topics across years are your revision list, already written for you.
Once you know your weak topics, drill them rather than re-reading whole chapters — the MDCAT study plan and the full syllabus outline show you where each topic sits.
What's available right now
We are adding past papers to the platform year by year, each question checked and given a written explanation rather than a bare answer key — that takes time, so a year appears here only once its paper is genuinely ready to attempt. What is live today is the full MDCAT question bank: topic-wise practice with explanations, timed full-length mock tests in the real 180-question format, and analytics that rank your weakest topics. Create a free account and you will see the newly added papers the day they land; sitting or studying a full paper is part of Pro.
