Question banks

Questions are the core of preparation. Choose one bank and finish it, rather than starting three. The NRE-1 Prep question bank on this site explains every option and lets you track weak areas.

Concise texts

  • Medicine: a short-format textbook or high-yield review you already know from your degree.
  • Surgery: a concise surgical revision book.
  • Gynaecology and paediatrics: concise revision texts.
  • Pharmacology: a short review focused on mechanisms and side effects.

Local practice

The NRE expects Pakistani practice. Our clinical guides and drug doses reflect what you'll do on Pakistani wards.
