Questions Distribution:
Total Questions: 60
- Reading skills and knowledge acquired during studies- 4 questions
- Logical reasoning and problem solving- 5 questions
- Biology- 23 questions
- Chemistry- 15 questions
- Physics- 5 questions
- Mathematics- 8 questions
Each correct answer awards 1.5 marks, while each incorrect answer deducts 0.4 marks from the obtained marks.
Description:
1. Reading Skills and Knowledge Acquired in Studies:
– Candidates must demonstrate the ability to understand and analyse written texts of various types. This includes logical-mathematical reasoning and knowledge of general culture, with a focus on historical, geographical, social, and institutional aspects. Questions will test the ability to place historical-cultural phenomena in space and time and understand English texts of different natures.
2. Logical Reasoning and Problems:
– The test will assess candidates’ ability to complete reasoning logically and coherently based on given premises. Questions may involve abstract problems that require different forms of logical reasoning. Topics covered may include the structure of the atom, bioenergetics, and various biological concepts such as cell cycle, genetics, and weak interactions.
3. Biology:
– Topics covered in biology may include cell reproduction, chemical bonds, Mendelian genetics, and weak interactions. Candidates should be familiar with cellular structures, genetics, bioenergetics, and biotechnology concepts.
4. Chemistry:
– The chemistry section may cover topics related to living organisms, organic molecules, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, and oxidation-reduction processes. Candidates should be knowledgeable about elements, compounds, chemical kinetics, and catalysis.
5. Mathematics:
– Mathematics topics may include functions, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and numerical sets. Candidates should be comfortable with algebraic expressions, equations, inequalities, and geometric concepts.
6. Physics:
– The physics section may cover thermodynamics, mechanics, hydrostatics, and thermodynamics. Candidates should understand concepts related to heat, energy, work, and physical quantities measurement.
In conclusion, the IMAT 2024 syllabus covers a wide range of topics in mathematics, chemistry, physics, and biology, testing candidates’ knowledge and skills in these areas.
