General Academic Prerequisites

GAP tests general skills and aptitudes needed for successful completion of university studies. Contains 54 multiple-choice questions - you will have 80 minutes to solve them. Items are divided into two sections: Verbal Reasoning and Analytical Reasoning.

The Test of General Academic Prerequisites does not examine the applicant’s level of knowledge, but rather the ability and skill that determine whether a person can successfully study at university. The GAP test determines the most various operational, combinational, comprehension and other abilities which directly shape the learning process:

Verbal Reasoning

work with text
precise comprehension, vocabulary
relationships within a text
ability to differentiate meanings

Analytical Reasoning

work with information
logical consideration (precise comprehension, work with several conditions, conveyance of given conditions to new relationships)
work with quantities (variables, operations...)

Sample of GAP items

NCE tests are comparative - it is not necessary to answer all the questions to achieve a good result. About half of the correctly solved tasks should mean average result. From the school year 2022/2023 onwards, all questions are followed by only four options.
