The mathematics entrance exam lasts 45 minutes.
Aids
- The use of a simple scientific calculator (WTR) is permitted. Pocket calculators with graphics capability (GTR), pocket calculators with typical functions of a computer algebra system (CAS), pocket calculators with data transmission capability and programmable pocket calculators are not permitted. A calculator that is frequently used at the Studienkolleg is the Casio fx-87DE plus. Of course, any other calculator that meets the above requirements can also be used for the entrance exam.
- The use of a set square (triangle) is recommended.
- Formula collections may not be used.
