Yes. The full question bank, study notes, progress dashboard and the WhatsApp group are all completely free. There is no trial period, no credit card required, and no expiry. Optional one-on-one mentoring with the founder is available on request — message on WhatsApp.

Cadet College Prep covers CCH Hasanabdal, PAF College Sargodha, Military College Jhelum (MCJ), Cadet College Kohat, Cadet College Petaro, Cadet College Razmak, Military College Murree, and more. Each college's material is tailored to its specific syllabus.

Cadet College Prep was founded by Muhammad Haziq Khan Miankhail, a CCH Hasanabdal alumni from Quetta, Balochistan. He built Cadet College Prep to make quality cadet college preparation accessible to students across Pakistan.

The CCH entry test has 4 sections: Section A — Mathematics (50 marks), Section B — English + Islamiat (40+10 marks), Section C — General Science 25 MCQs (50 marks), Section D — Urdu (50 marks). Total: 200 marks in 3 hours.

PAF College Sargodha tests Mathematics, English, General Knowledge, and Analytical Reasoning. The analytical reasoning section is unique to PAF and requires pattern recognition and logical thinking practice.

Military College Jhelum tests Mathematics, English, General Science, and Aptitude. The test evaluates both academic knowledge and problem-solving ability.

Most cadet colleges accept students after Class 7 or Class 8 (for O-Level / Class 9 entry). The typical age range is 12-14 years. Always check the official announcement for the specific college and year.

We recommend 3-6 months of consistent preparation. Students who practice 1-2 hours daily on Cadet College Prep typically see significant improvement within 6-8 weeks.

Get the college's admission notice when registration opens (typically December–January), complete its application form on the college's own portal or published form, attach the required documents, pay the registration fee, and appear for the test, interview and medical as called. Our how-to-apply guide walks the whole process and links every college's official application page — each one verified live before listing, so you never apply through an agent or a fake portal.

The main gates are Class 7 and Class 8, with several colleges also admitting into Class 9, Class 11 (first year) and O-Level in some years. Which classes are actually open changes by college and year — the college's own admission notice lists them, and our colleges directory links each college's pattern and free prep.

Many colleges accept a Hope Certificate — a document from your current school confirming your expected results — in place of final marks when you apply before this year's exams conclude. Acceptance varies by college and year, so confirm on your target college's own admission notice before relying on one.

Several cadet colleges reserve seats by province or region, including for Balochistan and other less-populated provinces — for many families that is the real route in. Each college's notice lists its own seat split, so check your target college's notice rather than relying on second-hand numbers.

Keep the common set ready before the window opens: B-Form or birth certificate, recent passport photos, the last two years' school reports, and a parent's CNIC copy. Individual colleges may ask for more — their notice is the checklist that counts. Our registration-deadlines page lists the season's typical windows college by college.

Shortlisted candidates move to the later selection stages — the interview and a medical examination, with some colleges adding their own intelligence or psychological assessment. Final offers follow the combined merit. Our free interview-prep page walks through the questions boards actually ask and how to answer them.

Each college announces its own merit or selection list on its own schedule after the test and interview stages — there is no common date across colleges. The college's own notice and admission office are the only reliable sources; treat unofficial WhatsApp lists as rumours.

The colleges do not publish a fixed pass mark — selection is on open merit against the seats each college offers, so there is no score that guarantees a seat. Prepare for the highest mock score you can produce: in a seats-versus-candidates field, every mark matters.

It varies widely by college and by whether a seat carries financial support — and we deliberately do not publish fee numbers we cannot verify from a college itself. Our fees & scholarships guide explains how to get a college's real fee schedule and what to ask about assistance; treat any second-hand fee figure as a rumour until the college confirms it.

Boards recycle a predictable set — introducing yourself and your family, school life, general knowledge about Pakistan, why you want to join, and a scenario or two. Our free interview-prep page lists the recurring questions with a framework for each answer, what the board is listening for, and the trap that sinks most candidates.

Cadet College Prep's question bank is designed to match the exact format and difficulty of real entry tests. While we don't publish official past papers (they are copyrighted by the colleges), our MCQs are modeled after the actual test patterns.

Yes. Cadet College Prep works on any smartphone or computer with an internet connection. The platform is fully responsive and works great on mobile browsers.

Cadet College Prep tracks every question you answer, calculates your accuracy per subject and topic, shows your daily streak, and provides weekly progress reports. The analytics dashboard shows trends, weak areas, and recommended next steps.

There is no official book — colleges publish test patterns, not textbooks, and most guide books simply repackage the same published pattern you can drill free on this site, with instant feedback and progress tracking a printed book cannot give. If you still want one, check it matches your target college's published pattern before paying.

Cadet colleges are run by private trusts or provincial governments and focus on academic preparation with military-style discipline. Military colleges are directly operated by the armed forces and provide full military training. Both have competitive entry tests.

Both are excellent. CCH Hasanabdal is one of the most prestigious cadet colleges with a strong academic focus. MCJ Jhelum is a military college with more rigorous military training. Your choice depends on your career goals and preferences.

Yes. Cadet college graduates can appear in ISSB (Inter-Services Selection Board) and join the Pakistan Armed Forces. Many cadet college alumni become officers in the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

Published descriptions across the colleges share one shape: early mornings, physical training, academics through the morning, scheduled games and supervised evening study — with discipline the defining feature of the life. Exact routines, sports, holidays and training differ by college, and their own prospectuses describe theirs; we do not dress up a generic day as fact. The full shape, movement by movement, is at our life-at-a-cadet-college guide.
