Contents of the admission tests MedAT-H and MedAT-Z
The admission test for human medicine (MedAT-H) is a multipart, written process and segmented as follows:
- Basic knowledge test medical studies (BMS): review of prior academic knowledge in the sectors biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics
- Text comprehension: review of reading competency and comprehension of texts
- Cognitive abilities and skills: this test consists of five task groups (numerical sequences, memory and retention, assembling figures, word fluency as well as recognising implications) and comprises cognitive basic abilities and skills
- Social decision-making
MedAT-Z is largely identical to MedAT-H. The test components of text comprehension as well as recognising implications are replaced by the review of manual skills.
