Confirm exam requirements, fees, and policies with the official exam sponsor.
Mathematics
Algebra and manipulation of expressions, first and second degree equations and inequalities, systems, functions and composition, exponents, logarithms, absolute values, plane and analytic geometry, probability, combinatorics and set theory
Reading Comprehension
Understand explicit and implicit information, inference, purpose and meaning in passages in the selected test language (Italian or English).
Numerical Reasoning
Solving applied problems primarily through reasoning, interpreting charts and tables, percentages, ratios and proportion, averages, profit and loss, and separating relevant from superfluous data with simple calculations
Critical Thinking
Two published standard-test task families: identify true or false statements from supplied data, and assess whether an assertion follows from a short passage, conflicts with it or cannot be determined. Practise evidence, logical implication and counterexamples without treating coding, series or blood relations as separately published exam domains.
