How Outside the current syllabus is examined

Outside the current syllabus sits in the official PMDC Physics curriculum, the document that defines what can and cannot appear in the 2026 paper. Everything on this page is tagged against that curriculum rather than against a chapter list invented for a website, which is why a chapter here matches the chapter your textbook and your teacher use.

Physics carries 36 of the 180 questions in the real paper - 20% of your MDCAT score, and the MDCAT is half your merit aggregate. PMDC does not publish how those 36questions are split across chapters, so no honest page can tell you “expect four from Outside the current syllabus”. What the archive can tell you is what actually appeared: 2 Outside the current syllabus questions out of the 37 Physics questions digitised so far.

That is a thin sample, and it is worth saying so plainly rather than dressing it up: with this few questions, the count tells you very little about how heavily Outside the current syllabus is examined. It grows as the remaining papers are digitised.

Frequently asked questions

How many Outside the current syllabus MCQs are on this page?
2, drawn from one past paper - the 2020 paper. Every one is transcribed from the real paper rather than written to look like a past paper question, and each carries the correct answer with a written explanation. 0 of them are readable in full without an account.
Is Outside the current syllabus still in the MDCAT 2026 syllabus?
No. PMDC removed these topics in the 2025 curriculum revision and has confirmed 2026 is unchanged from 2025, so they cannot be examined. They are kept here for the record and excluded from our highest-yield rankings, because recommending a deleted topic wastes the revision time this site exists to save.
How many Outside the current syllabus questions come up in the MDCAT?
PMDC does not publish a per-chapter breakdown, so nobody can tell you a reliable number - be careful with pages that do. What can be counted is the paper as a whole: Physics is 36 of the 180 questions, and 5% of the Physics questions in our archive so far have come from Outside the current syllabus.
Do these Outside the current syllabus MCQs come with explanations?
Yes, and they are written from scratch rather than copied. An answer letter tells you nothing about why the other three options are wrong, which is the part that transfers to the next question. The first 0 questions of every paper are free to read in full; the rest need a pass.
