This could have been a Substack article, but it's not. Still, it's worth reading to the end. 👇�
We're steadily approaching the application deadline: 10 more days. Can you believe it? Where did the last two months go?
Once that deadline passes, the next thing on your radar will be the test. So let's get ahead of it now and talk about what to expect.�
Who gets to take it?�
Everyone who's diligently filled in their application, meaning all tasks are done, every question is answered with real answers (no Lorem ipsum shenanigans 👀), and it's submitted on time.�
We are planning to send you the link to the test on the 2nd of October and you will have till 7th of October to take the test. Please note that there is a possibility that the dates might change, in any case you will have 5 days to take the test. Everything you need to know will be in the instructions that come with the link. Read them carefully and follow them to the letter.
�But let's cover the basics ⬇️
It's a Logical Reasoning test, so forget cramming. It's designed to check how you use logic and the information given to solve problems, not memorized facts.🧠
It has 2 sections: Quantitative Reasoning and Verbal Reasoning, 20 questions in each section, and you will have 40 minutes to answer the questions and submit your answers. ✅
⏳ The test is timed. You'll have 40 minutes to answer the questions and hit Submit before time runs out. If you don't manage to submit in time, we simply don't receive your answers. So keep an eye on the clock and don't leave submitting until the very last second.�
🌐 The test is available in several languages, and you choose which one. Don't pick English just to impress us — it won't, that's not how this works. Pick whichever language you're most comfortable taking the test in.
�Device:�
💻 We strongly advise to take the test on laptop or a computer. Make sure it's charged or plugged in before you start, a dead battery is not the distraction you want. Your device needs a working camera, since you'll be asked to share your full screen and allow the camera to take pictures throughout the test. Stopping the screen share or camera mid-test results in disqualification.

Sounds scary? 😨 Don't worry. You'll have access to a mockup test. 📝 Take it as many times as you like to get familiar with the test environment, double-check you understand the instructions, and get a feel for the kinds of questions you'll see. Just make sure you take the mock test on the same device you'll use for the real one. �
Now back to those unfinished applications and essays. 10 days left! ✍️�
And if you've just found out about UWC and want to apply? Good news, you still have enough time to finish and submit. 🌍
