What to post in r/MDCAT_NUMS
What fits the room, and what gets removed.
Works well
- A clear explanation of one syllabus topic that students keep asking about, written as a plain answer with no links at all
- A walkthrough of how a specific entry test question type works, with worked examples in the post itself
- An honest breakdown of what admission to a medical college in Pakistan involves, based on the community's own purpose of college advice and counseling
- A review of a test or a prep experience that helps other aspirants, shared the way the description invites users to share results and reviews
- A study resource you share only because it directly helps with entry test preparation, mentioned inside a post that already answers a question
- Patient answers in comment threads where aspirants ask about the syllabus or the test, with no promotion attached
Avoid
- Posting a link to your YouTube channel, blog, or book when it has nothing to do with the entry test, because the rule “No advertisements” covers exactly that
- Dropping your social media handle, phone number, or personal photos in a post or comment, which breaks “No Personal Information”
- Writing a post about your startup journey or general productivity when it has no tie to entry tests or college advice, which trips “No Unrelated Content”
- Using slang or edgy wording to sound casual, since “Maintain Respectful Conduct” says indecent and slang wording is not permitted
- Framing a promo as a question and hoping the moderators do not notice, because the one-liner says they remove posts with unrelated promotions
- Treating the community like a general Pakistan student forum, when the rules say the forum exists only for entry test discussion, college advice and counseling

What r/MDCAT_NUMS Is For
This is a subreddit for medical college aspirants in Pakistan who are preparing for entry tests. People come here to discuss questions about the syllabus, talk about the entry tests themselves, ask about admission to medical colleges, share useful knowledge relevant to the entrance tests, and share results and reviews of tests that may help others. The rules keep the focus tight. The forum is for entry test discussion, college advice and counseling, and that is it. So the room is students and aspirants, not founders or marketers, and any post you make has to serve those students.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Four rules decide what survives here. “Maintain Respectful Conduct” says your language and content must stay within the boundaries of respect, and indecent and slang wording is not permitted. “No advertisements” says you should not post content that promotes YouTube channels, blogs, books, or similar things not related to the community's purpose, so promotion is conditional on relevance. “No Personal Information” bans posting phone numbers, social media accounts, pictures, and anything like that. “No Unrelated Content” says posts with unrelated content are not allowed, because the forum exists only for entry test discussion, college advice and counseling.
What To Post
A good post here answers a real question a student would ask. Think along the lines of explaining a syllabus topic, walking through how a type of entry test question works, or giving honest advice on admissions. If you have something to share, like a study resource or a tool, it has to be related to the community's purpose, meaning it should help with entry test preparation. Frame it as help first. Answer questions in the comments, share what you know, and let the resource be a small part of a genuinely useful post. Keep your language clean and respectful, and leave your contact details and social handles out of it.
What To Avoid
The fastest way to get removed is promoting something unrelated, like a YouTube channel, blog, or book that has nothing to do with entry test prep, because the rule “No advertisements” covers that directly. Personal information is out too, so no phone numbers, social media accounts, or pictures in your posts. Anything off topic gets removed under “No Unrelated Content”, so skip general startup talk or marketing chatter. Watch your language as well, because “Maintain Respectful Conduct” does not permit indecent or slang wording.
A note from Anthony
What stands out to me is how narrow the purpose is here. The rules say the forum exists for entry test discussion, college advice and counseling, and nothing else, so a founder has to be genuinely useful to students first. I also like that promotion is not flat out banned, it just has to relate to the community's purpose, which is a fair deal if you ask me. With no observed top posts to learn from, I would start by answering questions and only share a resource when it clearly helps with the test.

Can I promote my product here at all?
Only if it is related to the community's purpose. A prep resource tied to the entry test can fit. A general promo for your channel, blog, or book does not, and the rule “No advertisements” is written to catch that.
Are links allowed?
The rules do not say links are banned. They say promotions must relate to the community's purpose. A link that is really an ad for something unrelated is the risk.
Can I put my social media handle in a post so people can reach me?
No. The rule “No Personal Information” bans phone numbers, social media accounts, and pictures, so keep contact details out of your posts and comments.
I run a study app for many exams. Can I post about the app itself?
No. The rule “No Unrelated Content” says the forum is for entry test discussion, college advice and counseling only.
How casual can my tone be?
Keep your language respectful and skip slang or indecent words. That is the first rule here and the moderator one-liner confirms they remove disrespectful posts.
