Test results

The ranking lists for each subject course will be drafted on the basis of the total score achieved and each candidate will be included in the list/s related to the subject/s previously chosen. Once the ranking lists are published, the position of each candidate will be one of the following:

• Admitted – Candidates whose score places them in the ranking for the category of their choice can enrol by confirming their online pre-registration and regularizing in within the deadlines stated in section  Registration and enrolment
• Not admitted – Candidates who have a total score that DOES NOT place them in the ranking for the category of their choice must wait for clearing.
