AUCA Admission Exams
The AUCA Admission Exams (AAE) consist of two separate examinations which are administered jointly. The two AUCA Admission Exams are a mathematics exam and essay exam. Both exams must be taken on the same test date, and only the exam results of one test date may be used to apply to AUCA (i.e. applicants may not use the mathematics exam score from one test date and the essay exam score from a second test date to meet the minimum application requirement). Total test time for both exams is 3.5 hours. The AUCA Admission Exams can be taken no more than two times per admission round.
The AUCA mathematics exam tests an applicant's knowledge of high school mathematics. The math exam is used as a primary exam for admission to Business Administration, Economics, Psychology, Software Engineering, and Sociology*.
The AUCA essay exam covers a variety of topics, and tests an applicants writing, critical thinking, argumentation, and reasoning skills. Essay questions are developed by the AUCA academic departments. The AUCA essay exam is used as a primary exam for admissions to American Studies, Anthropology, European Studies, International and Business Law, International and Comparative Politics, Journalism and Mass Communications, and Sociology*.
*Note: Sociology considers the better exam score of the math or essay exam during its admission decision.
