Procedures for Admission Test
Students should plan to arrive at the exam center at the appropriate time with their admission tickets. Exam center staff will check the students in and assign them their seats. Directions will be given and exam materials handed out. The actual testing time will begin approximately 30 to 45 minutes after their arrival at the center.
The following additional rules are in place to protect the security of the exam process. They are applicable during the entire exam session, from the time students are admitted to the exam center and until they leave (including breaks):
- Do not bring mechanical pencils or paper of any kind into the exam room.
- Do not use watch alarms or timekeeping devices that make noise. You may pace yourself with your own watch, but the supervisor is the official timekeeper. Exam center staff may ask you to remove and store your watch. You may not continue the exam beyond the established time limit.
- Mark all your answers on the separate answer sheet. You may use the exam book to work out your answers. However, answers recorded in the exam book will not be scored.
- Return your exam book and answer sheet to the exam supervisor at the end of the exam. These materials are the property of the University of Science and Technology.
- If you have health-related needs requiring you to bring equipment, beverages or snacks into the exam room or to take extra or extended breaks, you need to request accommodations in advance by contacting us at admission@zewailcity.edu.eg.
