HEC HAT Practice Test 2 (2026): 50 New Questions With Answers

Audio from the Open Exam Hub video of the same name; the video shows the numbers and practice questions on screen.

HEC HAT practice test 2: a completely new set of 50 original questions for Pakistan's Higher Education Aptitude Test, none repeated from our first HAT practice test, every answer explained, no calculator. This one follows the HAT-I mix (30% verbal, 30% analytical, 40% quantitative): Verbal Reasoning (15 questions: analogies, synonyms and antonyms, sentence completion, a pronoun-case question, error spotting and a short reading passage), Analytical Reasoning (15: an ordering game and a grouping game with four questions each, plus main conclusion, weaken, assumption, a syllogism, a letter series, a family relation and a clock angle) and Quantitative Reasoning (20: successive percent changes, profit percent, unit conversion, LCM, fractions of a salary in rupees, work and time, exponents, inequalities, consecutive numbers, weighted averages, triangle area, polygon angles, cube surface area, circles, coordinate distance, median, survey percentages, handshakes, coin probability and meeting trains). As of October 2026, per HEC and the Education Testing Council (ETC): the HAT is 100 multiple-choice questions in 120 minutes on a paper OMR sheet, calculators are not allowed, ETC's qualifying score is 50 out of 100, results are valid for two years, and HEC's Graduate Education Policy asks for 60% for PhD admission. HEC's 2026 calendar lists the last HAT on Sunday 13 December (register by 22 November, result 31 December). From Fall 2027, HEC says MS/MPhil and PhD admission is to be based on GRE or HAT tests run through ETC. Our 35-of-50 target (70%) is our own planning goal, not an HEC number. Questions are original, written in the HAT style, not real exam questions. Independent practice, not affiliated with HEC or ETC.
