PMA Intelligence Test - Some Useful Tips

Since a lot of the students in Pakistan are not exposed to intelligence questions during their FA/FSc days, they are not as familiarized with the subject as they are with others, such as English or Science subjects. In order to familiarize themselves with Intelligence questions and learn some useful tips on how to improve their chances of success in the PMA Intelligence Test portion of the Initial Test, students may refer to the following:

1. Familiarize yourself with the Terminology

Similar to other subjects, the questions that appear in the PMA Intelligence Test have their own set of terminologies which students must familiarize themselves with in order to get a better grasp on the subject. Terms such as analogy, odd one out, inference etc. are concepts which students must learn in order to improve their command over Intelligence questions. This intelligence course, as well as our comprehensive Initial Test preparation course are great sources to familiarize themselves with such questions and their terms.

As students go through our course and the extensive questions offered therein, they’ll become familiarized with such concepts. This will not only help them to differentiate between questions belonging to one topic or another, but it will also help them navigate better through the course as a whole.

2. Inculcate some essential values

Students are advised to inculcate some basic analytical values before and while tackling questions of the PMA Intelligence Test. Values such as interpreting i.e. seeking patterns, or inferring i.e. forming conclusions based on available evidence or reasoning, or, most importantly, critical thinking i.e. the ability to question things and not take them at face value, are all absolutely essential. Inculcating these and similar values in your thinking habits is vital to achieving success in the PMA Intelligence Test.

3. Keep your mind sharp

The questions in the PMA Intelligence Test at their core are a test of the mind. In order to ace this section, your mind has to be at its sharpest. In order to keep the mind sharp, try to play games, such as crossword puzzles or chess, which test the mental faculties of individuals. In addition, a healthy mind and healthy body go hand in hand. Therefore, exercise regularly and be mindful of your sleeping patterns in order to keep your mind in peak condition.

4. Improve your attention span

Although this is related to the previous point, but its importance merits that it be discussed separately. All questions in the PMA Intelligence Test require that you be able to maintain your focus and attention for long periods of time. This is necessary to follow the arguments presented in questions, or to make inferences and deductions/inductions etc. In order to improve your attention span, you must practice as much as you can. The wide variety of questions offered in this course will enable the candidate to constantly be on their toes and improve their focus and attention.

PMA Initial Test: A Brief Overview

The PMA Initial Test is the first stage that candidates need to successfully clear in order to get admission in the Pakistan Military Academy. The PMA Initial Test consists entirely of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and is divided into two sections; the Intelligence Test and the Academic Test. Let’s discuss these two sections so that you may have a good idea of what to expect in the PMA Initial Test.

Intelligence Test

The first section is the Intelligence Test. It has two types of questions,

• Verbal Intelligence: As the name suggests, this consists of questions which test a person’s ability to think on concepts framed in words. For example, a topic covered in this is called analogy. In it, you’ll see questions like “Bird:Sky as Fish:__”.
• Non Verbal Intelligence: These types of questions test a person’s ability to reason using concepts that do not involve language. For example, you might be given a series of shapes that follow a certain logic, and you’ll be asked to figure out the next image.

These sections are extensively covered in this course, as well as our compehensive Initial Test preparation course.

It is vital that students prepare well for the Intelligence Test portion of the PMA Initial Test, because if they do not pass it, they are not allowed to move forward towards the Academic Test.

Academic Test

The Academic Test portion of the PMA Initial Test consists of 40 questions related to five subjects, namely, English, Mathematics, Pakistan Studies, Islamiat, and General Knowledge.

The questions are fairly simple, and are based on concepts that students from F.Sc./equivalent level are familiar with. Our PMA Academic Test preparation course are ideal sources to prepare for the Academic Test.

Now that you have an idea of what to expect at the PMA Initial Test, enroll at our course and start your journey straight away!
