NUST NET practice: verbal and analytical reasoning (60 MCQs) NUST Entry Test (NET) and similar admission tests (NAT, LCAT NUST NET practice: verbal and analytical reasoning (60 MCQs) This practice set has 60 original multiple-choice questions on verbal and reasoning skills for university admission tests. It covers analogies (12), synonyms (10), sentence completion (10), logical reasoning (14) and analytical reasoning puzzles (14) . The verbal questions (analogies, synonyms and sentence completion) match the English part of the NUST Entry Test (NET) . Check the current NUST admission guide to see whether your NET stream also has an intelligence or reasoning part, and what each part is worth. If it does not have one, use the reasoning questions to practise for tests that do, such as the NTS NAT and the HEC Law Admission Test (LAT), and for general aptitude. The questions in each section get harder as you go. An answer key and a short worked solution for every question come after the questions. How the paper is marked and how to pace yourself • NET is a computer-based test made up of multiple-choice questions. Each question has four options and one correct answer, and every correct answer earns the same mark. • Negative marking: NUST NET has not deducted marks for wrong answers in recent years. Still, check the current admission guide before your test, because other tests (and future NET sessions) may do things diﬀerently. If a wrong answer costs nothing, answer every question. • Timing: aim for about 30 seconds on each analogy, synonym or sentence-completion question and 60–90 seconds on each reasoning question. Allow about 45–60 minutes for this whole set. • Puzzles: draw the arrangement once (a row, a circle or two team columns) and then answer every question on that puzzle from the same sketch. If the clues allow more than one arrangement, draw each one side by side. A "must be true" answer has to hold in every arrangement, but a "could be true" answer only needs to hold in one. • Syllogisms and conclusions: a conclusion follows only if it must be true whenever the statements are true. Don't use everyday knowledge, even if a conclusion sounds sensible. Section 1: Analogies (Questions 1–12) Choose the option that completes the second pair so that it has the same relationship as the ﬁrst pair. 1.
