The UNSA Medicine Entrance Exam study guide has 6 sections and about 1,692 words.
01Biology: From Molecules to Ecosystems
Cell theory and the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are foundational. Know the organelles and their functions, especially the mitochondrion (aerobic respiration), chloroplast (photosynthesis), ribosome (protein synthesis), and the nucleus.
302 words, about 2 min02Chemistry: Structure, Reactions, and Calculations
Atomic structure underpins everything: protons define the element, neutrons affect mass, and electrons govern bonding. Know the periodic trends, including atomic radius (decreases across a period), electronegativity (increases across a period), and ionization energy.
291 words, about 1 min03Physics: Mechanics, Energy, and Waves
Kinematics describes motion with displacement, velocity, and acceleration. Know the equations for constant acceleration, including v = v0 + at and d = v0 t + half a t squared.
309 words, about 2 min04Mathematics: Algebra, Functions, and Reasoning
Algebraic fluency is essential: manipulating expressions, solving linear and quadratic equations, factoring, and working with inequalities. Functions require understanding domain, range, composition, and inverses, plus the graphs of linear, quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
269 words, about 1 min05Language and Literature: Reading, Grammar, and Analysis
This section tests reading comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, and literary analysis. For comprehension, identify the main idea, supporting details, the author's purpose, and tone, and distinguish fact from opinion.
260 words, about 1 min06Social Sciences: History, Geography, and Civics
