questo è quello che ho trovato sul sito dell'uni a bucarest.è scritto tutto in inglese, e viene spiegato un pò tutto quello che c'è da sapere, le tasse, come si svolge il test, come ci si può immatricolare. le tasse non sono mica basse, a mio avviso, per chi viene a studiare da fuori!poi, da quello che ricordo io, il test prevedeva 2 materie, non una, come ha detto una ragazza precedentemente. io ricordo che si doveva dare biologia assolutamente, e poi si poteva scegliere tra chimica e fisica(e molti sceglievano chimica xkè fisica era impossibile da fare,davano moltissimi problemi parecchio difficili).non so poi se sia cambiato qualcosa, è probabile che il test sia più facile adesso. guardando un pò di statistiche degli anni passati, ho notati che gli studenti rumeni negli ultimi anni non hanno più scelto medicina come percorso universitario, bensì economia ed informatica.quindi presumo che il test l'abbiano fatto più ragionevole, nella speranza di attirare più studenti. credo però che sia ancora difficilotto, compessivamente, perchè molto incentrato su problemi e meno su teoria. però meglio così, e più giusto direi, focalizzarsi su un test interamente scientifico, che su cultura generale ,come succede qui in italia. detto questo, mi sento in dovere di sottolineare una cosa: io ho passato il test a medicina in italia, pur essendo straniera, e non lo passate voi che siete madrelingua e tutto?ragazzi,studiate tanto e preparatevi per il test; studianto tanto e bene il test lo si passa anche qui voglio dire!!
