So they have already been accepted... Not a truly random sample. “Nobody studies for it” is surely an overstatement. Do not underestimate the fear of tests.

- username90 6y agoNobody studies for it since nobody knows they will take the test. It is marked as a blank spot on their calendar and people gets surprised when a test gets handed out. Then they quickly forget they ever took a test since so much happens in the first days of new students.
- Gwypaas 6y agoThe only acceptance criteria is grades, or a local SAT/ACT like test but without essays or other harder to grade parts. It's language, logic and math. See more here [0]. You don't get in because you're good at sports, it's not even a consideration. I've taken a similar test at another university in Sweden and truly nobody studies for it, in the introduction week it was simply done at one point as part of the introduction curriculum, without even being mentioned beforehand. So, it's a fairly consistent sample of people aiming for a STEM education.
