Your entrance exam test will consist of questions from four subjects - Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Mathematics. The Biology and Chemistry questions are required to be completed by all candidates. Then you are required to choose between Physics and Mathematics subjects.

At the beginning of the exam, you will be presented with a 4-minute Test Snapshot of the Physics and Mathematics questions. These are exactly the same questions as in the actual test! You will be able to review all the questions and decide whether you want to take the Physics or Mathematics test. After 4 minutes, the Test Snapshot will end and you will be redirected to the Actual Test.

After the Biology and Chemistry parts of the Actual Test, you will have to indicate whether you decided to take the Physics or Mathematics subject. After this selection, you will still have the option to answer questions from both Physics or Mathematics. However, only responses to questions from the selected subject (and Chemistry + Biology) will count in your entrance exam score. You may change your indication any time until the end of the Actual Test.

Note that the 4-minute Test Snapshot of the Physics and Mathematics questions is not evaluated. Use it only to review the questions.
