Habib University math syllabus, in full

Habib's math syllabus is split across two or three separately scored sections depending on the school you're applying to. Practising them as one blob is the reason most applicants plateau, each has its own topic list, question style, and pacing, and you should drill them separately.

Arithmetic (both schools)

Operations with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals.
Percentages: percent of, percent change, reverse percentages.
Ratios and proportions in word problems.
Order of operations with signed numbers.
Basic estimation and rounding under time pressure.

Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra & Statistics (both schools)

Linear equations and inequalities in one and two variables.
Systems of linear equations, algebraic and graphical.
Exponents, radicals, and scientific notation.
Basic geometry: perimeter, area, volume, coordinate geometry.
Descriptive statistics: mean, median, mode, range, reading data displays.

Advanced Algebra & Functions (DSSE only)

Quadratic equations, factoring, completing the square.
Polynomial and rational expressions.
Exponential and logarithmic equations.
Function notation, composition, and transformation.
Right-triangle trigonometry and the unit circle.
Systems of equations, including non-linear.

What's not on the math syllabus

You won't see calculus, matrix algebra, inverse trigonometric functions, or advanced statistics (probability distributions, hypothesis testing). If you're revising a topic that feels harder than anything on your school curriculum, it's the wrong topic.
