The Ukrainian Center for Educational Quality Assessment has published the characteristics of the Unified Entrance Exam, or UEE, which will be taken by all applicants to this year’s master’s degree programs and some postgraduate programs. This test will include a General Knowledge Test (GKT) and a foreign language test (English, German, French or Spanish at the applicant’s choice). The number of tasks of each test, the forms of test tasks, the time allotted for their completion, and the scoring scheme have been determined.

The Test of General Knowledge will be made in accordance with the Program of the General Knowledge Test in 2022, and the Foreign Language Test – in accordance with the Program of the Unified Foreign Language Entrance Exam in 2019.

The TGK block will include two components: verbal-communicative and logical-analytical. There will be 27 tasks in total:

• 4 – to fill in the gaps in the microtexts (subtasks 1-10) (you will need to complete the sentences in the microtext with phrases/words by choosing them from the given options);
• 23 – multiple-choice questions.

The test will take 75 minutes to complete.

The tasks of the TGK will be evaluated in accordance with the scoring scheme. That is, 1 test point will be awarded for each correct answer to a multiple-choice question and 1 test point for each correctly filled-in gap in the microtext. Thus, you can get from 0 to 33 test points for completing all the tasks of the TKNK.

• The foreign language block (English, German, French or Spanish at the applicant’s choice) will consist of two parts: reading and language use.

The test will contain 30 tasks:

• 6 – matching tasks (you will have to match statements/situations to advertisements/texts, questions to answers or answers to questions)
• 5 – multiple-choice questions;
• 19 – to fill in the gaps in the text (you need to complete the sentences in the text with phrases/words from the given options).

You have 45 minutes to complete the test tasks.

According to the scoring scheme, 1 test point will be awarded for each correct answer to the multiple-choice questions, 1 test point for each correctly identified “logical pair” in the matching tasks, and 1 test point for each correctly filled-in gap in the text.

Thus, you can get from 0 to 30 points for completing the tasks of the foreign language unit.

We remind you that registration for the UEE will begin on May 07 and will last until May 29. If you have any questions, please contact us!
