Wait, so you didn't have to get them all right?
And this is admission to Graduate School, so the equivalent of a M.Sc. or Phd in the US, right? (i.e. Is the term graduate school the same or is this entrance to college?)
- thearn4 10y agoIt seems reasonable to me. Certainly, even if you don't get all of the questions correctly, this exam tells you more about the proficiency of a candidate than a standard graduate school exam like the GRE (in the US) does. Especially if a student can explain some reasoning for incomplete problems.
- startupdiscuss 10y agoI was relieved to hear it. I just thought that maybe they could fill out their class with perfect scores.
- ninjin 10y ago> Wait, so you didn't have to get them all right? I am not sure when this would even be desirable. If a student fails a question regarding a definition (simple, memorisation) and succeeds in proving the complexity of a novel algorithm (complex, innovation). Why would I emphasise the former? Besides, there are your grades and the presentation/interview as well -- at least for the PhD. > And this is admission to Graduate School, so the equivalent of a M.Sc. or Phd in the US, right? (i.e. Is the term graduate school the same or is this entrance to college?) Yes, that is correct. If I remember correctly, they use the same exam for the MSc and PhD.
