MENSA is organizing its test in Lahore on Saturday 23rd July at 364 E-1 LGS Johar Town.

There will be four test sessions (added if required) at the following times:
1. 9:00am to 9:30am
2. 10:00am to 10:30am
3. 10:45am to 11:15am
4. 11:30am to 12:00pm

You need to ONLY appear in one test session, whatever time suits you. Each test session will be of 30min duration which will have 5 min briefing about test format and 5 min for sample problems before getting you started with 20 min of actual test.

The registration fee is Rs. 500, for registration you can contact the following people:
Usman Zaheer 0321-4292295
Ahmad Baber 0321-8487466
Ahsan Masood 0344-4482677
Shahmyel Tariq 0321-4554556
Armaghan 0300-9493260  (LGS Branch)

Many interested applicants ask what the format is like and if they need to bring calculators, pens, rubbers etc so here are the answers:

1. The test is purely figure reasoning so you won’t be needing (or allowed) to bring a calculator.
2. You are only allowed to use lead pencil for the test which will also be provided by MENSA so you don’t need to bring a stationary box either.
3. Duration of test is 20 minutes.

Feel free to ask in case of any queries.

All the best to the applicants.

Regards,
MENSA Pakistan
