              What is your impression of the entrance exams?

              I was not worried. I relied on my knowledge. I did not like to spend much time on lessons. It’s just that my memory and intuition helped me in the entrance exams. On the day of the entrance exam, the temperature in the room was high. The exam was held on the lower floor so the windows of the room were closed to eliminate ambient noise. This was the cause of the high temperature. I graduated from the Russian sector and, therefore, the final exams was held in Russian language. The open questions in Russian were very difficult. As to the other subjects, I did not answer only one question on physics.

 

               Why did you choose this speciality?
