About the PU MET Assessment Test
The PU MET Assessment Test is a free, medium-level practice test of 30 questions in 30 minutes, with +1 for a correct answer and −0.25 for a wrong answer. All 30 questions are multiple-choice with four options each, set at a typical real-paper level. The test is in English and is spread across six sections of 5 questions each.
Test pattern and marking

On Aptitude360 each section has its own timer (a pacing aid; the section times add up to 30 minutes); the real PU MET has no sectional time limit, so these section times are only a suggested pace.
Topics covered
- General Knowledge: History, Polity, Geography, Biology and Sports.
- Economics and Business Environment Awareness: Economy.
- Data Interpretation and Problem Solving: Data Interpretation and Arithmetic Word Problems.
- Numerical Ability: Percentage, Profit, Loss & Discount, Simple & Compound Interest, Time & Work and Average.
- Verbal Ability and Reasoning: Analogy, Series, Coding-Decoding, Syllogism and Blood Relations.
- English Comprehension: Reading Comprehension, Synonyms & Antonyms and Error Spotting.
Every question shows its question type in square brackets at the top, for example [Data Interpretation], [Reading Comprehension], [Economy] and [Arithmetic Word Problems], so you can see which part of the real exam pattern each question follows.
Key formulas to revise
- Profit percentage: \( \dfrac{\text{Profit}}{\text{CP}} \times 100 \)
- Simple interest: \( \dfrac{P \times R \times T}{100} \)
- Compound amount (compounded annually): \( P\left(1 + \dfrac{R}{100}\right)^{T} \)
- Two workers together (a and b days alone): \( \dfrac{ab}{a + b} \) days
- Average: \( \dfrac{\text{Sum of values}}{\text{Number of values}} \)
