4th STEP – ENTRANCE EXAM
The entrance exam is conducted remotely on a dedicated educational platform called KAMPUS – REKRUTACJA.
To take the exam, you must have a device equipped with a camera and screen sharing capability. A notebook/laptop computer is recommended. The camera and microphone must be active, and your internet connection must be stable. If your internet is unstable or your identity cannot be verified (e.g., due to poor lighting), you may be disqualified — even with a high score.
Structure of the exam:
- 50 questions of equal value
- Only one correct answer per question
- Once an answer is approved, it cannot be changed
- Questions appear one at a time — no going back
- Window-switching is monitored and may result in disqualification
- No calculator is needed
- You receive your score immediately upon completing the test
- You need at least 30/50 points to qualify
Exam content:
