How to prepare the ECAT syllabus
ECAT is a speed test — 100 questions in 100 minutes means about a minute per MCQ. Mathematics and Physics carry the most weight (30 each) and reward fast, accurate calculation, so numerical drilling matters most. Because there is no negative marking, you should attempt every question, even the ones you are unsure of.
Calibre's ECAT prep gives you subject-tuned simulators, a Numerical Speed Drill, past papers 2010–2025 and timed mocks that mirror the real UET pace — so exam day feels familiar.
