The University of Debrecen does not publish past papers of its entrance exam. It publishes one sample test and one topic list for each of Biology, Chemistry and Physics, as free PDFs, without answers. This page explains what is in them, and where to find full practice in the same format with every answer explained.

In short

  • No past papers and no answer keys: Debrecen's 'Exam topics and sample tests' page offers topic lists and sample tests only.
  • For the medical programmes there is one sample test per subject. You need Biology and the one you choose of Chemistry or Physics.
  • Each sample has 20 five-option questions in two parts, each part followed by written tasks: 30 labelled points in all.
  • IvyTest's free sample test follows that format in all three subjects, with every answer explained. It is not an official Debrecen paper.

What Debrecen publishes

Debrecen's 'Exam topics and sample tests' page lists, for 'Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy and BMC Programs', two downloads per subject: the exam topics and a sample test. The same page lists other files 'for Non-Medical BSc Programs'; those are for other degrees and are not the medical exam.

No past exam papers are offered, and none of the samples comes with answers. Debrecen does not publish the questions of real sittings.

SubjectTopic listSample test
Biology (compulsory)16 numbered topics; textbook: Sadava et al., Life: The Science of Biology, 8th edition7 pages, 20 questions and written tasks
Chemistry (or Physics)General, inorganic and organic chemistry; textbook: McMurry and Fay, Chemistry, 6th edition7 pages, 20 questions and written tasks
Physics (or Chemistry)Six headings, mechanics to modern physics; textbook: Serway, Faughn and Vuille, College Physics, 9th edition8 pages, 20 questions and written tasks

The Physics sample's file properties give it the title 'Entrance exam TEST 2019. PHYSICS'. Debrecen's page calls it a sample test and says nothing about where it came from.

Inside an official sample test

All three samples share one layout. The point labels below are printed on each of them.

PartWhat it holds
Part IQuestions 1 to 10: one correct answer out of five (A to E), marked on a score sheet
Section I.A, 5 pointsA short written task: naming labelled structures, naming compounds, or a short explanation
Section I.B, 5 pointsA calculation, or reading a value off a graph
Part IIQuestions 11 to 20, the same five-option format
Section II.A, 10 pointsShorter tasks: calculations, describing a process, writing equations, true-or-false items, stating a law
Section II.B, 10 pointsLonger tasks: a problem in several steps, a graph to interpret, or structures to draw and name

No time limit and no mark per multiple-choice question are printed on the samples. The entrance-exam page gives 45 minutes per written test; the FAQ gives 50.

Practice in the same format, with answers

A sample without answers tells you what the paper looks like, not whether you got it right. To use it well, you need the answers, and more papers like it.

IvyTest's free Debrecen sample test follows the official layout in all three subjects: 20 five-option questions and four written tasks worth 30 points per subject, written new on the topics of Debrecen's lists. Every question has its answer explained, and every task has a model answer. It is IvyTest's paper, not Debrecen's.

How to use a sample test well

IvyTest's suggestions.

  1. 01

    Sit it as on the day

    Biology, then your second subject, 45 minutes each, on paper. Do the written tasks too, not only the questions.

  2. 02

    Mark it honestly

    Count the questions you got right. Mark the written tasks against model answers, point by point, and be strict about definitions.

  3. 03

    Find the cause of each mistake

    A topic you did not know, a question you misread, a calculation you set up wrong, or time running out. Each needs a different fix.

  4. 04

    Go back to the topic list

    Match every gap to a line of Debrecen's topic list and study it from the named textbook before the next paper.
