AFNS Test Pattern 2026 Quick Overview
First we will tell you AFNS Test Pattern exact as Real test. This is given below in table.
| Section | Time | Questions |
| Verbal Intelligence Test | 30 Minutes | 64 Questions |
| Non Verbal Intelligence test | 30 Minutes | 64 questions |
| Academic Test | 25 Minute | 50 Questions |
AFNS Test syllabus Subject Wise MCQs Percentage
AFNS Verbal and non verbal intelligence tests are seperate tests. Although AFNS Academic test includes FSc Part 1&2 different subjects such as Biology, Physics, Chemistry, General Knowledge etc. Table Below describes Subjects wise MCQs weightage.
| Section | Topics | Approx. Weightage |
|---|---|---|
| Verbal Intelligence | Analogies, Series, Coding, Odd-One-Out | ~25% |
| Non-Verbal Intelligence | Patterns, Rotation, Matrices, Figures | ~15% |
| Biology | FSc Pre-Medical topics | ~25% |
| Chemistry | FSc Pre-Medical topics | ~15% |
| Physics | FSc Pre-Medical topics | ~10% |
| English | Grammar, Vocabulary, Comprehension | ~10% |
Format: Computer-Based Test (CBT). No negative marking. All MCQs. Time-bound per section (typically 5–8 minutes per intelligence test block).
AFNS Biology Syllabus (Highest Weightage Prioritize it)
Biology carries the most marks. Focus on human physiology above all else — this is where most AFNS questions come from, confirmed across multiple test experiences.
Most Repeated Biology Topics in AFNS
- Cell Biology: Cell structure, organelles (mitochondria, ribosome, nucleus), cell division (mitosis vs meiosis), cell membrane transport
- Human Physiology: Digestive system (enzymes, absorption), Circulatory system (blood types, heart structure, cardiac cycle), Respiratory system (breathing mechanism, gas exchange), Nervous system (neurons, reflex arc, brain parts), Excretory system (kidney structure, urine formation), Reproductive system (basic anatomy)
- Nutrition: Vitamins and their deficiency diseases, macronutrients and micronutrients, BMI, balanced diet
- Genetics: Mendelian laws, dominant/recessive traits, blood group genetics (ABO system), chromosomes and DNA basics
- Ecology: Food chain, food web, ecosystem types, biodiversity
- Microorganisms: Bacteria vs viruses, disease-causing organisms, antibiotics (basic concept)
- Enzymes: Function, factors affecting enzyme activity, lock-and-key model

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the AFNS syllabus 2026?
The AFNS syllabus 2026 includes Verbal Intelligence, Non-Verbal Intelligence, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and English. Biology has the highest weightage (~25%) followed by Verbal Intelligence (~25%). All questions are MCQ-based on a Computer-Based Test.
Is there negative marking in the AFNS test?
No. There is no negative marking in the AFNS initial test. Attempt every question.
Which subject has the most questions in AFNS?
Biology consistently has the most academic questions in the AFNS test, followed by Chemistry. Together they make up roughly 40% of the academic portion.
Is the AFNS test from FSc syllabus or separate?
The academic portion is based entirely on FSc Pre-Medical syllabus (Punjab/Federal Board level). If you have studied FSc Pre-Medical, you are already prepared for the academic portion — focus extra time on intelligence tests.
