Papers and sections
The Common University Entrance Test, conducted by the National Testing Agency, has consisted of language, domain-specific subjects and a General Test. Candidates choose papers according to the programmes and universities they are applying to.
Format and marking
The test is computer-based and objective. Marking has included negative marking for incorrect answers. Question counts, choices and timings have been revised across years, so check the latest information bulletin.
Implications for mocks
- Choose mock tests that match the papers you registered for
- Practise on screen to match the format
- Check the specific requirements of your target universities
