Re: medical cadet (mc) test
Welcome to the forum Amazon.
There are a no. of streams for prospective doctors/ doctors to enter the army, but the main stream is through the AMC Rawalpinidi. Cadets wishing to join the Army as doctors take the entrance exam for the AMC under NUST, the eligibility for this test and stream is the same as for any other medical college i.e. pre medical subjects in your A Levels or FSc and a particular minimum grade.
So I believe you’ve come from a pre-med background and would already have enough familiarity with aptitude/entrance exams for medical colleges. So dont stress over that, the initial academic test for army medical cadets is basically just the regular pre-med test.
But, no doubt, AMC is one of the best Medical Colleges in the country and there’s a lot of competition. And, those who qualify the entry test still have more to face and are then reqd to take a medical checkup & interview and then go to the ISSB, where all officer cadets for all army/navy/air force courses are finally slected.
For now though your concern has to be the AMC test.
Try consulting medical college aptitude test books, and there are book focused on AMC tests available too. And it’ll be good if you try consulting some ppl who are at the AMC or those preparing for the test.
Very roughly though, refresh a bit of biology/chemistry/physics and sharpen arithmatic and english.
Hope this is useful. Let us know what becomes and when you head for ISSB etc we could offer more guidance.
Best Luck :k:

Re: medical cadet (mc) test
According to my experience in Army Cadets in Toronto, Canada, you are required to maintain your fitness up to level. Fitness is the key and follow the obligations. Learn discipline before that and everything before going. Be polite. Get a main idea. Just follow the instructions, along with respect senior cadets, making friends with senior cadets so they might assist you into a better position. The negative thing about cadets is that we have to work like slaves upon senior cadets. It is entertaining overall.
Just acquire the Army Cadet books or cds to get the idea of attention, stand ease, etc and InshaAllah you should have no problem. Participate in their activities involving special ones. Do the extra training.
Just one more think to include here, Pakistani Army is stronger than Canadian Army as Pakistani involves tough training amongst risking your lives. Atleast one person dies in a major training.
Please feel free to ask if you need more assistant involving tips.

Re: medical cadet (mc) test
Good to know you've cleared the test Amazon!
For the other tests, they're going to be pretty much the same as for all other courses of the Army/Navy/PAF; the medical examination, intelligence, and interview aswell as the stay at ISSB. I'm not sure at the moment if female medical candidates are reqd to go to ISSB, but i'd think they would, because there's no reason why they shouldnt. But pls have it confirmed.
In the interview they might ask you general questions and judge you accoridng to your behaviour etc. since youre going to AMC, they'd probably quiz you on your subjects etc, why you want to be a doctor, why the AMC, why the Army and so on. the intreviewing officers may include a major, a colonel and a brigadier and they could be from any corps but very well may be from the Medical Corps. Stay confident and bold, sober and smart. dont panic and be honest. All will be well. If successful you'll be embarking upon a very nice career. And would commission into the Pak Army as a Captain 5 yrs later with many opportnities to rise and specialize in your field. The intelligence tests are more or less the same IQ tests etc.
ISSB is a more detailed scenario, though the basic principles for success remain the same.
For any questions feel free to discuss.
Good luck!
