The major subjects of exam are English, General Science and Mathematics. Although there are further sub groups in each subject but the student must concentrate yourself on core fields.
Other categories may include ability assessment in terms of linguistic, quantitative and qualitative analysis. Interestingly, there are few students who have passed the exam without preparing too much for it.
