Laboratory assessments are different from regular exams; besides testing theoretical knowledge, they also require hands-on experiments. The first round will test theory, during which a portion of the participants will be eliminated, and the second round is a computer-based exam. There are a total of ten experiments, with increasing difficulty, and scores are based on completion within the given time and the accuracy of the experiment results.
The finalists are admitted based on scores.
Experiments are divided into five levels, A to E, with two experiments at each level. As the difficulty increases, the scores for the experiments also increase exponentially.
Since very few people can complete all ten experiments within the allotted time, some choose to skip the Level A—basic and simple experiments—and start directly from Level B. Others even go against the norm by starting from Level E experiments, doing the difficult ones first and moving to the simpler ones.
