We have prepared a complete guide with the main practices that can help you at this time.

Discover educational institutions

Firstly, to prepare for the entrance exam you need to know the educational institutions where you want to take the selection process.

Therefore, check if these are really in line with what you are looking for and if the curriculum of the desired course appeals to you.

This way, you can only study for exams at institutions that really interest you.

Investigate the format of the entrance exam

Next, it's time to find out the test format of the institutions you want to study. For example: what are the most recurring themes? How many alternatives do the questions have?

It is possible to do this research by checking old editions of the tests or searching for reports on the internet about previous selection processes.

Finally, we also recommend that you read the notice to prepare for the entrance exam. This document and the Candidate Handbook may have important tips.

Create a study schedule

After understanding how a college's exam is organized, a candidate can create a personalized study schedule to be approved at this institution.

Therefore, dedicate part of your study time to the most recurring topics in the test.

At the same time, don't forget to prioritize questions in the specific area of the desired course and dedicate time to reviewing content.

Learn to organize your time

Organizing your time is crucial when preparing for the entrance exam. Therefore, our tip is to create a routine and set aside a certain time every day for studying.

Having your own place to study and not be disturbed can also help you stay focused and not get distracted at this time.

If possible, also use techniques to avoid fatigue. For example: the pomodoro method, which consists of alternating periods of study and rest.

Stay up to date

Preparing for the entrance exam also requires the candidate to follow the news and recent events in the country and the world.

Remember that many tests may require essays and, at this point, knowledge of current affairs can help you have more repertoire and references.

Therefore, remember to include moments to read the news or watch the newspaper in your preparation schedule for the entrance exam.

Do simulations

Taking simulations and previous tests is one of the best ways to prepare for the entrance exam. 

This practice allows you to test the level of your knowledge and discover which area of study needs more attention.

However, our tip is that you don’t just do simulations on the eve of the test! Dividing these tests throughout your schedule can help you check your development.

Take pre-university courses

If you want close supervision from a professional, the pre-university course can be a great way to prepare for the entrance exam.

Through these classes, teachers can help you create a schedule for your goal and study the most important topics for the tests.

Finally, don't forget that there are free and even online course options. Therefore, it is possible to study in the best way for your reality.

Register on the correct date

There's no point in preparing for the entrance exam and missing the registration date for this test, right?

Therefore, pay attention to the period for sending documents and by what date payment of the registration fee must be made.

This information can be found in the notice! Therefore, check the document carefully and look for all the most relevant data.

Prepare for exam day

Therefore, prioritize light foods and comfortable clothes on this day. It is important to be ready to face a long period of time answering the questions.

But, did you know that the in-person entrance exam is not the only way this test can be taken? There are also several colleges that offer EAD entrance exams.
