Merit no 1 girl of Nishtar

Assalam u Alaikum!

Here’s Zainab Shahzad, a girl just like you, with dreams in her eyes, witnessing the miracles of Rabb Ta’ala, and who scored 174/180 in MDCAT.

So my MDCAT journey starts on 3rd June. I was enrolled in an online academy because we had to change stations, so with 3 stations came 3 different stories in 3 months!

2nd June ko last paper dene k bad I was like k ab to rest hi rest or maze hi maze.
Sakoon se MDCAT ki tiyari karon gi q k hai to online academy, apne hisab se chl skti.

Who knows k mentr meri zindagi ka aik sakoon demand kre ga. So day 1 I was like apni ammi ka ghar mai hath bhi btana hai, siblings k bhi different kam krne hain to mai aise hi karon gi, and at the end of the day 1, I was so exhausted that I completed all those tasks but the Mentr work was left.

Because sakoon kahan tha aik physical academy se brh kr Mentr ko time dena tha.

Aik week aise hi guzra. Phir mujhe realize hoa k Mentr is not just an academy, it’s a lifestyle of an MDCAT aspirant.
To jo 1 week ka kam tha I completed that on 3 days of Eid vacation, like my Eid was just with books.

So at station 1, my family used to sleep late and wake up late.
But at that point, I was sleeping even later than them and waking up early before everyone.

Wahan pora din prhne mai guzarta but in the weekly tests I would score low. My average score was 25/35, but jo guidance mentors or doubt solvers dete gaye, wo follow kr rhi thi, which helped me in revision.

Khair, because there was so much pressure on me, changing the station and managing so many other responsibilities, I reached a point where my health collapsed. So that meant another week without study.

So we reached the 2nd station village!
Wahan k internet problems or wahan k guests se bhi deal krna tha. Some days were so dark that I remember messaging my friend,

“I’m feeling like giving up,”

and her reply was,

“Koi musalman kaam ko darmiyan mai to nhi chorta, agr tum musalman ho to phir sabit qadam raho.”

Low scores, backlogs, and family responsibilities were all eating me up, but I still continued.

Setting Mission 2, waking up at 2am and studying till 2pm, and then handling family responsibilities, made sleep a luxury.

Phir start hoa mission 180, and it was the 3rd station and the most difficult one.
First my average score was 140, then 150, and the highest score ever in my FLP was 162. Iss phase mai I was under so much pressure, itna k everything was turning into darkness.

Once, I got a 3 hour fever in F.Sc, and in MDCAT I can’t even count how many times my health collapsed.
There was even a week when my efficiency was just one chapter in the whole week, and my study hours were the same as on productive days.
I got fever in the last week, but I asked Allah to give me strength to study. At that time, I cried a lot, I was never meant to give up, and why would I give up?

At least I tried to satisfy myself. I was doing whatever I could; even when getting 150s, *I was trying my best.*

My family supported me here, they lifted all responsibilities from me, and I will also mention my Umme to whom I had made a commitment that I would study 12 hours a day. Still, the results were not improving, I got 86% in NUMS with a 90.5% aggregate.

I, being a topper, seeing my marks in the 80s, made me cry.

I faced two extreme situations at this point. My aggregate was good, and because of family background, I could easily take admission in any NUMS college.

My khala started crying out of pride at that moment, and on the other hand, my relatives were looking down on me, saying she can’t clear MDCAT because her NUMS marks are so low.

No one was expecting that I would pass MDCAT in the first attempt.

At that point mai ne dua ki, or iss niyat se ki k Zakriya alahi salam k Rab se mang rhi hon to Zakriya alahi salam ki trh mango gi or mang kr unhi ki trh hairaan hon gi.

And whenever I made mistakes, mai ne kha, mistakes kron gi to Suleiman alahi salam ki trh mistakes ki maafi mango gi, k aisi kamiyabi mile jo bht azeem ho.

Akhri FLP solve kiya, 154 marks, still ye belief le kr gai thi k hall se niklon gi to white coat le kr hi niklon gi.

Paper wale din jldi uthi or tahajud mai dua kr k nikli.

Then I attempted the paper, my last FLP, and after filling the last bubble, I wanted to cry so badly because this was the only sheet we bore so much pain for.

So now, I always say it wasn’t me, it was Allah Ta’ala.
It just depends k Allah se ap kis shidat se mangte ho or ap kitno ki duaon mai ho.

Your part is to do whatever you can; aage Rabb k liye kuch bhi na mumkin nhi hai.

My journey was full of tears and sacrifices like all other aspirants, but when it ends, you just smile and say Alhamdulillah.

Finally becoming the family’s first doctor.

You are not being able to study in the way you are supposed to?

Here’s the solution.

Figure out the reason for your distraction.

It can be some person with whom you spend days and nights chatting, it can be social media where you keep on scrolling for nothing, it can be your relatives/friends who keep on discouraging you for no reason, it can be anything on this earth.

Just figure that out on an urgent basis and negate it.

Being unable to negate?

Here’s an example for you to follow.

During my MDCAT preparation, there were days when I used to spend literally 10-12 hours or even 14 hours on Facebook. I monitored this time by installing some time-monitoring apps.

And that was the moment for me.

How was I supposed to prepare for MDCAT while spending 12 hours on social media?

And then, kicked by this thought and with strong willpower, I abandoned not only Facebook but the whole of social media, even WhatsApp.

Some initial days were tough because it needs some time for your dopamine to come to normal levels, but afterwards, you find your peace, you find your life, you no more need that toxic thing again, and you finally get the control of your own life.

So, ready to negate that toxic thing in your case?

All it needs is a single decision.

There’s a lot of potential in you. No doubt.

And even more potential to waste.

If she once struggled to study for even 10 minutes and is now making the most of every day, it proves one thing:

Change is possible.

You have the same 24 hours.

You have the same opportunity.

And you’ll never regret trying your best.

Tomorrow, Mission 180 begins.
To everyone joining us - welcome.
Let’s get to work.

If you REALLY want to get into medical college, you will get in this year.

All success starts with self belief.

If you truly believe with your heart that you will get into medical college this year, you will automatically take the actions required to do so.

But if there is 0.1% doubt, your actions will not be as powerful as they should have been.

Now after you believe it fully, you need to put systems in place. Systems of study.

You should have a constant routine, waking up at the same time everyday and going to bed at the same time. You have to remove all distractions, either online or physical ones. You only have to be with your books for these 34 days.

After you have done these first 2 steps, you would start seeing gradual improvement in yourself, and this improvement will build your self-confidence.

Exam hall ma jb aap bethein to is confidence k sath bethna ha k agr koi mcq nhi aa rha to mind ma thought process ye honi chahiye k agr ye MCQ mujhy nhi aata, to ye poray Pakistan ma kisi ko nhi aata, kiu k mene mehnat ki hoi ha, or mujy meri mehnat py yakeen ha

Try to build that confidence, and ye confidence abi sy daily hard work krny sy aaye ga, and jis din aap ma ye confidence aa gya, I can guarantee that your seat is confirmed!

And lastly, you need to do a lot of Dua from Allah, putting your full trust in him. Because,
ہم بندے ہیں ناں، ہم جب اُس سے مانگتے ہیں تو اپنی حیثیت کے مطابق مانگتے ہیں، لیکن وہ تو رب ہے ناں، وہ جب نوازتا ہے تو اپنی شان کے مطابق نوازتا ہے

What’s the first step to becoming an MDCAT topper?

What’s the first step to becoming a world champion in any sport?

The first step is always self-belief.

Believing you’re capable of getting there.

If you don’t believe you can make it, you’ve already taken yourself out of the race.

Aur abhi bhi aap ke paas aik mahina hai.

Win one day.

Repeat it tomorrow.

Then the next day.

If one productive day can move your preparation forward,

Imagine what the next thirty-three can do.

Heard Ustad Nouman Ali Khan saying,

“Mistakes are your strengths.”

Let’s see that in the context of MDCAT.

Tests have a purpose.

To put you under pressure and reveal how much you’ve actually absorbed from what you’ve learned.

Lekin problem yahan aati hai jab aap apne marks ko apni worth ke saath attach kar lete ho.

Jabke your weak areas were supposed to be exposed so you could strengthen them.

Aaj jitne bhi tests aap ne solve kiye hain, have a mindset like Areeba.

Agar application-based MCQs wrong huay hain, it simply means your concepts aren’t strong enough to apply in real-life scenarios yet.

Now you know what you need to focus on.
And in MDCAT, you won’t mark the similar MCQ wrong.

Imagine walking into MDCAT knowing you’ve revised exactly what mattered - nothing less, nothing unnecessary.

At 6 PM on 10th July, Dr. Asad Mehmood will conduct the Revision Hack Masterclass.

The mentor behind the Final Week Revision Plan that has helped countless MDCAT aspirants make the most of their final days before the exam.

This isn’t another generic revision session.

MDCAT 2026 is different.
The timeline is different.
The pressure is different.
So your revision strategy has to be different too.

In this masterclass, you’ll leave with:
• A clear revision strategy for the next 33 days
• The right balance between revision and practice
• How many FLPs you actually need to solve
• What to do the night before MDCAT to perform at your best

You’ll be joining as a Fresher or Repeater?

In the middle of work, we almost missed that Mentr turned 4 today 🩵

میں اکیلا ہی چلا تھا جانبِ منزل مگر
لوگ ساتھ آتے گئے اور کارواں بنتا گیا

Thank you for making Mentr what it is today.

Thank you for believing that education can be reimagined, and for helping us rebuild it.

Here’s to everything we’ve built together, and everything that’s still ahead.
