What to revise

  • Computer Science: Introduction to Computer has four questions, Programming Skills three and Fundamentals of Database three.
  • Physics and Mathematics: revise Intermediate concepts and practise solving problems under time.
  • Keep Quantitative reasoning separate from the subject Mathematics section in your study plan.
  • Practise English comprehension and analytical puzzles throughout the week.

Plan your timing

You have an average of 80 seconds per question. Practise shorter sets first, review mistakes, then rehearse a full 120-minute paper. Follow the marking instructions issued by NTS for your test.

Check the course you want to enter

Choose the NAT paper that matches your qualification and the requirements of your target programme. A NAT result is valid for one year, but universities set their own application deadlines and merit rules. NTS associated universities.
