==Summary==[[Category:Curator's Choice]]All incoming Engineering students are required to undergo an entrance exam for the Faculty of Engineering. This exam is administered to gain an accurate idea of where the entering class is in terms of understanding of basic Engineering concepts. This data is also provided to the educational accreditation board to help determine McGill's current educational standing along with its ranking compared to other schools in Quebec. All incoming Engineering students are expected to complete the exam, with no exceptions. Questions can be directed to the Principle Program Officer, and details of the exam's scheduling and location can be gathered from your Orientation Week Coordinators.
Before Frosh begins, all engineering students are required to undergo an entrance ==Frequently Asked Questions==; Do the results of this exam for affect my GPA / Do the Faculty of Engineeringresults get counted towards my GPA?<br>: No. This exam is done purely used as a "survey" to gain an accurate idea gather information on current knowledge base of where the entering incoming class is in terms of current knowledge and understanding of basic engineering concepts. This data is also provided to the educational accreditation board to help determine McGillwill not be counted towards a student's current educational standing along with its ranking compared to other schools in QuebecGPA.<br>
==Frequently Asked Questions==Q: Do ; What type of questions are asked on the results of this exam affect my GPA/Do the results get counted towards my GPA?<br>A: No. This exam is purely used Students will be tested on basic Engineering theories and concepts as well as a "survey" to gather information on current knowledge base of the incoming class some applied math and physics questions, which they will not be counted towards a student's GPAexpected to apply throughout their Engineering careers.<br>
Q: What type of questions are asked on ; How long is the exam?<br>A: Students will be tested on basic engineering theories and concepts as well as some applied math and physics questions which will be later useful The exam time is 1 (one) hour in their engineering careersduration.<br>
Q: ; What materials do I need for the exam/What can I bring to the exam?<br>A: You need to bring your own supplies such as a pen, pencil, eraser, ruler, and pencil sharpener. No calculators are allowed , as all math -related problems will be solvable by hand. Language to Language dictionaries are permitted , but must be brought by the student as they and will not be provided.<br>
Q: ; What is the exam environment like?<br>A: The exam is held in a large room (typically Leacock 132) where students sit down to write the exam.
