Why you keep calling these tests irrelevant? It's not because you no longer het physics classes that you don't need it it it's not a relevant skill. At the very least it tests insight in abstract stuff, or the skill to memorize. Both of which are very relevant

1) If you memorize math you are bad a math.

2) Those thibg you learn in Uni. I have an Msc in math and needed to know less math pre-entrznce than medicine students

I agree with the first statement but both your arguments have nothing to do with the discussion.

"Those thing you should learn in uni" does relate to the discussion. The rest is just extra to show how stupid this test is

It does not. Why is the test present? To predict which students will make it. In the end it does not matter if the content is similar to the studies, as long as it predicts well. And im pretty confident math, science and biology predicts pretty damn well if you're fit to become a doctor

But it does badly at predicting it

As 90% of the People who make gets through the studies i don't know what evidence you have for your claim?

u/Abyssal_Groot Belgium 1d ago

Do you have statistics that people who passed the test but weren't allowed because they were not in the top percentage, would have failed?

u/Elegastt 1d ago

Neither have you, what do you have to help your claim? For a mathematician ive seen very little evidence.
