PMA LC Eligibility & Syllabus

<h2>PMA Initial Interview – Tips for Success</h2>
Many candidates are curious about the PMA initial interview that takes place for selection in the PMA Long Course. Following are some key tips that should be kept in mind in order to successfully clear the PMA initial interview:
<h2>1. You should have adequate knowledge about Current Affairs and geopolitical matters as well as Pakistan Studies </h2>
The PMA initial interview shall have questions related to current affairs and geopolitical matters regarding Pakistan and the region. You should read newspapers etc. to keep yourself up to date on such matters and have adequate knowledge about it.
One important thing to keep in mind is that when you do not know the answer to a question, it is suggested to admit that you do not know. This gives a better impression than answering incorrectly.
Before a candidate can reach the interview stage, they have to pass the initial test. And the very first section of the initial test is the Intelligence Test. If you want to master all the necessary concepts required to succeed at the Intelligence Test, <a href="https://tabiracademy.com/course/PMAIntelligence/">Tabir Academy’s PMA Intelligence Test</a> preparation course is your go-to source!
<h2>2. Confidence &amp; impressive body language is key at PMA Initial Interview</h2>
One of the key things that the interviewing officers look for in a candidate is their confidence and appearance. If a candidate is self-confident, has a positive outlook, his/her facial expressions and body language do not display nervousness, then they are sure to impress the interviewer.
In order to improve confidence, you may practice speaking in front of a mirror, or get someone to help you practice speaking with them. As far as body language is concerned, make sure that you shake hands with a firm handshake as it shows confidence. When you sit, make sure to sit upright and do not carry out any movements that display nervousness, such as shaking your legs.
<h2>3. Want to make an impression at the PMA Initial Interview? Make sure your appearance is neat</h2>
Anyone who is even slightly familiar with the Pakistan Army knows how much importance is given to a neat physical appearance by the institution, as it reflects a disciplined personality. So, when going for the PMA initial interview, you should make sure of some things.
<ul>
<li>First, your dressing should be appropriate. Although wearing a decent suit is ideal, but if you don’t have a suit any appropriate dressing, such as a dress pant and shirt would suffice. The key thing is not what you’re wearing, but how neat it is. It should be ironed and clean.</li>
<li>Secondly, your hair and facial hair should be neat and tidy. Get a haircut and trim your facial hair in order to achieve a tidy appearance.</li>
<li>Thirdly, your nails should be trimmed as well.</li>
</ul>
<h2>4. Be relaxed but not casual</h2>
Do not fake your behavior in front of the interviewer. Don’t try to be over formal, as it gives a negative impression. Be yourself, but do not be casual. Behave in a relaxed and formal way. This will make sure that you leave a positive impression on the interviewer during your PMA initial interview.
You have an adequate idea on how to succeed at the PMA Initial Interview. However, in order to get there, you have to pass the PMA Initial Test. So what are you waiting for? Enroll at our course, prepare for the Academic portion, and get started on your journey right away!

PMA Initial Interview - Tips for Success

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,
<ul>
<li>
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:__”.
</li>
<li>
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.
</li>
</ul>
Both these sections are extensively covered in our <a href="https://tabiracademy.com/course/PMAIntelligence/">PMA Intelligence Test preparation course.</a>
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 comprehensive <a href="https://tabiracademy.com/course/PMAInitialTest/">PMA Initial Test preparation course</a> and this 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!
