• The form of an exam - examination is in the form of a written knowledge test, an oral interview.
• Written test or application on computer. Each question in the test will only have one answer which will be considered to be the most correct.
• The content of the test will reflect the current standard of secondary school curriculum requirements for the Czech Republic and will be based on the published topics (not solely on the recommended literature).
• The content of the written test will cover topics from three sciences: biology and physics in the range of secondary school education and based on recommended literature.
• Each written test will contain 30 questions on each of the three sciences listed above. Each correct answer will be awarded one point.
