Pathology MCQs

Those who want to get a job in Pakistan Forces as a Medical Doctor, they have to clear Intelligence tests as well as academic tests related to the medical fields. Shaheen Forces Academy always tried to provide right guidance and material which neither helps but also to clear all tests related to become a medical officer in Pakistan Forces like Army, Navy and PAF.

There are different branches of medical fields that required different types of tests as per specialization of the individuals. Pathology MCQs are one part of the tests area which help to prepare written medical tests of M-Cadet. Pathology MCQs are also helpful for AFNS and Short Service Regular Commission in Pak Army, Short Service Commission in Pak Navy and in PAF as a Medical Officer.

Following Pathology MCQs have been collected from the different past tests of M-Cadet or Medical Tests of Short Service Regular Commission. All Pathology MCQs are given with answers which is also called a MCQs Bank.
