1- The full Test

The exam is organized in two fases, as they call. One with all the subjects, like History, Mathematics etc. And the second fase it recall the subjects and uses an adition of Music perception on the test. The test uses psichological aspects too, also the diagnosis of the psicologyst is a great part of the evaluation. All the questions has 5 options of answer, on the a,b,c,d,e system.

2-The external language text.

The english test uses 1 topic,one concept, as we example on the 2013 test, it uses historical comprehension as a base for the test.It always has an article and a cartoon, the two talk about the same subject The topics are based on cultural contemporary subjects, as historical events. It has, usually, five questions for the article, and one for the cartoon. The five questions are based on the understanding of the text, it rarelly ask you for grammatical questions. And the cartoon is based on the same idea, one question for the understanding of the cartoon.

The five questions about the article are all about comprehension of the text, it is not common to have grammatical question or vocabulary questions, it is always based on the comprehension of the full test and the ideas from it. The one question about the cartoon or image, it is about comprehensio too.

A way to master this questions is to keep informed about the current news and the historical references that molded our society.

Obs.: sometimes the test uses two articles, and when they use it, it uses 4 questions for each text!

3- Question

Water scarcity has been surfacing more and more as a serious

global issue in recent years. That scarcity has caused significant

business disruptions across all sectors and geographies, and with

all the associated technical, economic, political, environmental

and social implications. This reality is projected to worsen in the

future, as a result of climate change and demographics.

The UN Human Development Report 2006 stresses this

critical issue: “Better access to water and sanitation would act as

the catalyst for a giant advance in human development, creating

opportunities for gains in public health, education and economic

growth.” Experience from the climate change debate has shown

that translating awareness to specific action takes many years.

There is a major challenge in catalysing effective action on

a global level. Governments play an important role in helping to

mitigate and adapt to the challenge, but so does the private sector,

through individual company actions and through innovative

public-private partnerships.

Such partnerships can offer a useful solution. Since late 2005,

the Forum’s Water Initiative has focused on creating networks

in South Africa and India. The objective has been to catalyze

ideas for public-private water infrastructure projects and shape

them into well-developed, bankable project propositions, and

financing plans.
