National Comparative Exams or NCE ("Národní srovnávací zkoušky; NSZ" in Czech) are certified exams used as a criterion in the acceptance processes of many Czech and Slovak universities and colleges.
These tests are administered seven times a year, at 30 locations in the Czech Republic and eight locations in Slovakia. NCE have been used by more than 80 faculties (university departments) and colleges. There are Faculties of Law, Architecture, Economy, Social sciences or Engineering among them. Each year, NCE are taken by over 28,000 university applicants. All of the tests are taken in the Czech, Slovak or English language.
Most applicants take the test of General Academic Prerequisites (GAP). This test is similar to the GRE (Graduate Record Examinations, see www.ets.org) test model, which has been used in tertiary education in the United States since 1966. (More about GAP)
