Why These Five Sections Reward Structured Practice

Because General Knowledge, Islamiat and Urdu are almost entirely factual recall, they're the fastest sections to lock in with repetition — while English and Mathematics reward timed practice under pressure more than reading. Weighting your prep across all five, rather than over-indexing on General Knowledge because it's the largest, is what separates a strong MPT score from an average one.
