How to Use PU MET Previous Year Papers?
- Finish 120 questions in 2 hours. That is one minute a question. The 40 numerical and data questions need more than a minute each, so save time on General Knowledge and English.
- Practise sums by hand. Calculators are not allowed, so solve Q41 to Q80 of each paper without one.
- Leave a blind guess blank. A wrong answer costs a quarter mark. A pure guess among four options is worth only about +0.06 marks, but after ruling out two options it rises to about +0.375.
- Skip withdrawn questions when scoring. Most keys withdraw a few questions (six in 2021, four in 2019 and 2024). Score yourself out of the questions that remain.
- Work back from 2026. Solve 2026, 2025 and 2024 first, then the older papers. About five months remain before the April 2027 test, so one paper a fortnight covers all eleven.
