What subjects does the Petaro entry test cover?
Mathematics, English, General Science, Urdu-Islamiat, and intelligence/reasoning — five subject areas tested at the Class 7/8 level. The table below breaks down what each expects.
| Subject | What it covers (Class 7/8 level) |

| Urdu + Islamiat | Comprehension and grammar; basic Islamiyat |
| Intelligence | Verbal series, analogies, odd-one-out, simple non-verbal patterns |
