'''Common Aptitude Proficiency Exam (CAPE) -''' Developed as the common entrance examination used by the public university systems of the Kiravic-speaking states, the CAPE is now administered nationwide and considered by both public and private universities outside its original geographic scope. | '''Common Aptitude Proficiency Exam (CAPE) -''' Developed as the common entrance examination used by the public university systems of the Kiravic-speaking states, the CAPE is now administered nationwide and considered by both public and private universities outside its original geographic scope. The CAPE is written in Kiravic Coscivian only, and tests [[Kiravic_Coscivian#Written_Registers|Literary Kiravic]], Mathematics, Analogical Reasoning, and [three other things I forgot]. | ||
'''Collegiate Literacy Assessment (CLA) -''' Tests students’ proficiency in [[High Coscivian]] vocabulary and grammar, as well as their ability to understand and engage with sample academic texts. The CLA comprises two sections taken in separate sittings. These two sections are officially known as the First Paper and Second Paper, but more commonly referred to as the “Classical”/”Traditional” and “Modern” Papers. The First Paper is based mainly on cultural classics and other premodern works written in more conservative registers of High Coscivian, and tests students on grammar, etymological/morphological analysis, “philological” vocabulary, and relevant elements of history and Coscivian philosophy. The Second Paper is based mostly on academic texts from the Sunderance or later written in the Modern or (less commonly) Reformed registers of High Coscivian, and tests students on textual analysis, information literacy, modern scientific-technical-systematic vocabulary, and elements of style. The two sections are scored separately, as different universities and departments weigh the importance of the two sections differently, with many technical and business programmes only considering the Second Paper. | '''Collegiate Literacy Assessment (CLA) -''' Tests students’ proficiency in [[High Coscivian]] vocabulary and grammar, as well as their ability to understand and engage with sample academic texts.

'''Academic Readiness Standardised Examination (ARSE) -''' Developed in the Kiravian Remnant during the Sunderance, the ARSE is the common entrance examination used by the public university systems of [[Æonara]], [[Sarolasta]], the [[Melian Isles]], and the [[Kiravian federalism#Thematic_federalism|Overseas Regions]], though it is now widely administered on the Mainland as an alternative and competitor to the CAPE and considered by many universities as a substitute or supplement to the CAPE or comparable regional exams. | '''Academic Readiness Standardised Examination (ARSE) -''' Developed in the Kiravian Remnant during the Sunderance, the ARSE is the common entrance examination used by the public university systems of [[Æonara]], [[Sarolasta]], the [[Melian Isles]], and the [[Kiravian federalism#Thematic_federalism|Overseas Regions]], though it is now widely administered on the Mainland as an alternative and competitor to the CAPE and considered by many universities as a substitute or supplement to the CAPE or comparable regional exams.

'''Quantitative Thinking & Information Proficiency (QTIP) -''' Tests mathematical aptitude at a higher level and greater length than the CAPE, ARSE, or regional exams, has been expanded over the last 10 years to cover topics from computer science and formal grammar/programming. Required by a growing number of polytechnics and STEM departments. | '''Quantitative Thinking & Information Proficiency (QTIP) -''' Tests mathematical aptitude at a higher level and greater length than the CAPE, ARSE, or regional exams, has been expanded over the last 10 years to cover topics from computer science and formal grammar/programming.
