Cadet College Petaro Entry Test Sample Paper 2027 — with Answer Key
A complete practice paper for the Petaro new-entry test: 50 exam-style MCQs across Petaro's published five-section pattern — Mathematics, English, General Science, Urdu-Islamiat and the Intelligence Test — with a full answer key where every answer teaches its method.
Read this first — what this paper is and is not
This is an original sample paper written from Petaro's published pattern — the five subject areas the college's own admission process quotes publicly, at the Class 7/8 level. Every question here was authored fresh for this site from middle-school syllabi. It is not a past paper, it is not transcribed from any document, and it is not endorsed by Petaro. Petaro is one of the few cadet colleges whose own New Entry portal hosts official model test papers — sit those too; this is the practice run beside them.
The full paper — questions, answer key and explanations — as one printable PDF:
No sign-up. No email. The file is yours.
The official side of this shelf
Petaro hosts its own official model test papers and syllabus outlines per subject and entry class on its New Entry portal (newentry.ccpetaro.edu.pk/). That is the source of truth for dates, forms and the official pattern. This paper adds what the official shelf does not carry: worked answer explanations for every question, and practice-scale volume beside the official papers.
What the paper covers
The structure follows Petaro's published five-section entry pattern — the same subject areas its admission process quotes. Ten questions per section, 50 in total, numbered continuously exactly as a real paper would be:
Mathematics
arithmetic, algebra, geometry — no calculator
English
grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, punctuation
General Science
physics, chemistry, biology — middle-school syllabus
Urdu-Islamiat
Urdu grammar and idioms alongside basic Islamiyat
Intelligence Test
series, analogies, odd-one-out, simple coding
An answer key that teaches, not just marks
Every answer in the key carries its method — the arithmetic shown, the grammar rule named, the reasoning chain walked. One example straight from the paper:
سوال: لفظ 'کہانی' کی خالص جمع ہے:
جواب: کہانیاں — کہانی مؤنث لفظ ہے، اور مؤنث الفاظ کی خالص جمع عموماً 'یاں' کے اضافے سے بنتی ہے۔ 'کہانیوں' اضافی جمع ہے (جیسے: کہانیوں میں)۔
How to use it like the real test
- Print the paper (or open the print view) and sit it in one go — 50 questions at a minute a question.
- No calculator — the maths section is built to be solved on paper, like the real one.
- Mark it with the answer key, then write down the topic of every question you missed. That list is your revision plan.
- Bring the missed topics into free practice on this site — every question in this paper also lives in the practice engine with more like it.
- Then sit Petaro's own official model papers from its New Entry portal — the pattern, plus the dates and forms you actually need.
Petaro entry test — the questions everyone asks
Is this an official Petaro paper?
No — and it is honest about it. Petaro is unusual: it is one of the few cadet colleges whose own New Entry portal hosts official model test papers, and this sample paper points you there in the same breath. What this page offers is the practice layer beside that official shelf: 50 original questions written fresh for this site from Petaro's published five-section entry pattern, with an answer key that teaches the method. It is not a past paper and not college-endorsed.
What is the pattern of the Petaro entry test?
Following Petaro's own published admission process, the new-entry test's subject areas are Mathematics, English, General Science, Urdu-Islamiat, and an Intelligence/reasoning section, at the Class 7/8 level. This sample paper mirrors that five-section structure exactly: 10 questions in each of the five sections, 50 in total.
Does the paper come with answers?
Yes — the PDF ends with a complete answer key, and every answer carries a short explanation that teaches the method, not just the letter. A wrong answer you understand is worth more than a right one you guessed.
Which class does Petaro admit at?
Petaro admits at Class 7 and Class 8 (and higher classes on seats). This paper is written at the Class-8 level on the college's published pattern; students aiming at Class 7 should also sit the site's Class-7 model paper, and both routes start from the college's own New Entry portal for the official papers and dates.
Aiming at Class 7, or want more papers?
Petaro inducts at Class 7 and Class 8 — the shelf carries a generic Class-7 model paper on the same families of topics, and the college's own Petaro page carries the syllabus, past-paper guidance and entry timeline.
