Important Topics for GPAT Preparation

Can you list me the important topics for preparation of Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT), I mean provide me the syllabus of Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT)?

Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT) conducted by All India Council for Technical Education is an all India examination.

AICTE decided to organize and conduct Graduate Pharmacy Aptitude Test (GPAT) examination to facilitate admission of Pharmacy graduates in M. Pharma and also to award fellowships/ scholarships to Pharmacy graduates.
