Practice tests
Try real tests from past years
CERMAT publishes all assignments of the unified entrance exam for four-year programmes together with answer keys. The best preparation is to write a whole test against the clock and then mark it.
Maths

Practice tests →How to practise
- Write the whole test against the clock as if it were real – CERMAT lists the current time limits for each test.
- Write your answers on the answer sheet so you get used to it.
- Start with the tasks you can do. Come back to the hard ones.
- After marking, note what gave you trouble and we'll go through it in the course.
Exam day
What to bring and how it goes
- A pen that writes black or blue. Not an erasable pen – when the sheet is scanned, the answers would be erased by heat.
- Drawing tools for maths. You need nothing else.
- A snack and a drink. The school also has a buffet and drink vending machines.
- Your phone completely switched off in your bag.
- During the break you can rest in the relaxation zones, play ping-pong or table football. The "STUDENT" Wi-Fi has no password.
If something goes wrong
Fall ill? Your parents must excuse you to the headmaster within three days. Otherwise you are not entitled to a replacement date.
Didn't get in? Don't be discouraged. Your parents can submit an appeal. Not all admitted applicants confirm their place, and freed-up places are filled in order of ranking.
How to get to us: about a 10-minute walk from both the bus and the train station. Parents can park below the hospital; near the school there are only a few two-hour spaces.
