EINDPS Concours d'Admission

It is the selection test for admission to the nursing and paramedical programmes of EINDPS. A good result demonstrates that you can handle scientific content, understand written French and reason clearly, which is what the school needs before starting clinical training.

Expect a written examination combining multiple-choice questions with short-answer items across the eight subject areas. Because sections differ in style, practise switching between rapid ticking and structured written responses rather than revising only one format.

These details change with each session and are published by the school. Check the official EINDPS announcement or contact the admissions office for the current duration, number of items and scoring rules before you build a revision timetable.

It is selective, and the main obstacle is breadth rather than trick questions. Most candidates are comfortable with biology but lose marks in mathematics under time pressure and in French expression. Balanced preparation across all sections matters more than deep specialisation in one.

Retake rules are set by the school and may depend on the number of attempts or the session. Ask the admissions office directly about eligibility for a second attempt and whether any waiting period applies before you plan your next application.

Start with biology and mathematics, which need the longest accumulation, then build French expression through weekly writing. Add public health, ethics and English in shorter cycles, and finish with timed full-paper practice so the sections feel familiar together.

Running out of time on mathematics, writing vague French answers without structure, and neglecting ethics and public health because they seem minor. Another frequent error is ignoring health current affairs, which supply concrete examples in general-knowledge and ethics questions.

Learn a simple framework: identify the situation, list the problems, set priorities, propose actions and evaluate them. For ethics, know the core principles and practise applying them to short scenarios rather than reciting definitions without context.

Only the official EINDPS communication channels publish the current calendar, application fee and document checklist. Treat third-party summaries as indicative and verify every administrative detail with the school before submitting your file.
