Im going to do the exam this year.

This is what 'winchesteraddict' said about the structure
Quote
According to my friend who got accepted last year said the exam will be based on five parts:
1) Verbal Reasoning
2) Comprehension
3) Maths (Just Maths)
4) Science (bio, chem, phys)
5) Eng/Sci essay (The reason I say Eng/Sci is because it will be an english essay but it will be relating to Science :))

Last year the topic of the essay was; "Write an essay on your future as a scientist in a research area" We had to mention your Scientific interests and which Science would you like to specialize in and explain it.
