How to Use Kerala PG Nursing Previous Year Papers?
- Train for 36 seconds a question. 200 questions in 120 minutes leaves 36 seconds each. Do a full paper in one sitting and check that you have reached question 100 by the 60-minute mark.
- Guess only when you can rule one out. With +3 and −1, a blind guess among four options gains nothing on average. Strike out one wrong option and a guess is worth about +0.33 marks.
- Start with 2025 and 2023. The 2023 PDF carries the final key, with one question cancelled. The 2025 paper (code 22/2025/OL) is the latest full paper and carries the provisional key.
- Spend extra time on Medical Surgical Nursing. It has 44 of the 200 questions, and Nursing Foundations has 30. Mark every wrong answer in these two subjects and revise them first.
- Plan for July 2027. About eight months remain, with applications expected in June 2027. One timed paper a month goes through all five papers twice before the test.
