How it's scored

Total points
60: up to 30 points for each subject (Правилник, Art. 18)
Admission score
100 points: the exam's 60 plus up to 40 from your secondary-school grades (the sum of each school year's average grade, multiplied by two). On a tie, the higher exam score ranks first (Rulebook for studies in English, Art. 20)
Acceptance mark (Medicine)
21 of 60 (35% of the paper)
Acceptance mark (Dental Medicine and Nursing)
14 of 60: on the same examination for Dental Medicine; Nursing in English sets Human Anatomy and Human Physiology instead
Per-subject minimum

Answer options
4, one correct (three wrong options on every question)
Correct answer
Not yet publishedNot published as a per-question figure. IvyTest infers +1 from the 30-points-per-30-questions structure; the Rulebook states only the 0-30 per-subject range
Incorrect answer
Not yet publishedNot published. No penalty rule appears on the entrance-exam page or in the scoring articles of either Rulebook (Art. 18 and 19 of the entrance-exam Rulebook, Art. 19 and 20 of the Rulebook for studies in English); IvyTest infers 0 from that silence, which is an inference, not a rule
Unanswered question
Not yet publishedNot published. IvyTest infers 0
Ranking
Passing the mark is necessary but not sufficient: among candidates who pass, places are filled in rank order of total admission score up to the quota published for that enrolment period.

Question bank
Each test is put together from a question bank at least 10 times larger than the number of questions on the exam (Rulebook for studies in English, Art. 17)
Reserve questions
Not yet publishedNeither the entrance-exam page nor either Rulebook mentions reserve or replacement questions; left open rather than assumed to be zero
OFA (additional learning requirement)
