This accounts for the time required to collect the morning exam.
Morning admission typically begins around 7:15 A.M.
Failure to appear before the doors are closed (around 7:40 A.M.) will result in the student being turned away from the testing site.
It typically takes 20 minutes for the proctors to pass out the materials and go over the exam procedures, so that the morning session begins at 8:00 A.M.
Similar procedures are followed in the afternoon session, with admission starting around 1:15 P.M. and ending around 1:30 P.M.; the test itself begins at 1:45 P.M.
The morning session is a 120-question general exam for which all
examinees must sit, while the afternoon session consists of 60
questions and is more discipline-oriented.
For this second half,
examinees choose one of the following seven tests:
chemical engineering,
civil engineering,
environmental engineering,
electrical engineering,
mechanical engineering,
industrial engineering, or
other disciplines (similar in content to the morning exam, but
far more detailed).
Prior to April 2010, the other disciplines
test was called the general test, but it was renamed to better
reflect who should take it.[2]
As of the October 2010 exam, the choice of afternoon exam is
required to be made when registering.[3]
The topics covered by the general exam are covered in the courses taken by engineering undergraduates, and include
- Mathematics
- Chemistry
- Computers
- Statics
- Dynamics
- Strength of materials
- Material science
- Electrical circuits
- Thermodynamics
- Fluid mechanics
- Engineering economics
- Engineering Management
- Ethics
- Environmental Engineering
- Biology (Afternoon only; general discipline)
