Suggestions
KP stands for Knowledge Profile.
If during your academic life you have been a good learner, it is then possible
that you need only a review.
But if, on the other hand, you consider that your academic preparation
was rather poor or not so satisfactory (due to internal or external causes), we
recommend you take time to study the subjects suggested below and devote
effort to relearn as this will benefit you, not only for KP, but also to start your
university life better prepared.
In preparation for your KP exam
- Check the subjects listed below.
- Plan the number of hours you will need to spend reviewing or studying each
subject.
- Work according to your plan using the guide below.
Before starting your KP exam
- Make sure you have a good computer equipment and a good internet
connection and clean your cookies and temporary files.
- If you wear glasses, keep them handy.
- Make sure you are in an appropriate place to take an exam: good light,
silence, and no distracting elements.
- Turn off your cell phone and, preferably, do not carry it with you, it is a
great distractor.
- Have a calculator at hand, as well as paper and pencil.
As you begin your KP exam
Give yourself time to analyze the initial screen and identify its elements:
general instructions, subjects to be addressed and time to answer
