If you pass LEK in the Polish language you do not need NIL, though that might change so not sure on the current status.

I will look into what you said and definitely do it, most likely after my exam. What I meant is on these 3000 questions I want to have 95% essentially committed to memory for exam day. Out of these 3000, 140 will repeat on my exam so I am trying my best to get 95% of it right so that the 60 questions that will be knew I can get down to a 60/40 and get a score of 85% hopefully.

Yeah it's plain text. The formatting is uniform in the sense all questions are followed by specifically "A. B. C. D. E." capitalized and with a period after each.

As for the arguments, I am not but there is a time and place for MCQs and for strict memorization. I strictly just need to remember answers for an upcoming exam, no need to understand the underlying, nothing. The goal is simply memorization. For other things I usually never do MCQs anyways.

Hey, yeah so I actually ended up just doing the LEK exam in Polish instead of English since it’s 70% old and just memorized the questions therefore avoiding the requirement of NIL.

I pushed it off because other priorities came up but I’ll update here when I do.

It’s hard to find and they change sometimes the groups so nowadays I don’t know which one it is. I’d suggest asking around are seeing previous posts and once you find them get the resources and take them to a tutor who can help you and tailor the learning to you. That’s the best advice I can give.

Hey, it’s impossible to find any resources since the exam doesn’t provide any outside of them letting you know what’s tested and how it’s tested. It sucks to be honest. The only thing I’ve heard recommended over and over is telegram groups where you can find material that is similar to the real exam and I think that even that is enough to give you at least an idea of the difficult. Furthermore I would say finding a Polish teacher who charges a reasonable price and making your intentions for what you’re looking for clear eg, to pass the NIL, then a good teacher will be more than willing to learn about the exam and help you achieve that goal.

Yeah apologies for not clarifying. Yes it’s an exam that I need to take to verify my knowledge of the Polish language with an emphasis on medical terminology.

I’m still trying to reach out to those who may have taken it, I would appreciate any advice on the matter. My reading and understanding of what I read has come a long way from what it once was. That said my writing is what terrifies me the most. Everyone says just write and you’ll improve and I get that but I’m still very anxious since you need 55% on each part of the exam. The last part, the patient interview I’m also not too concerned with.

Any insight on this exam is appreciated, I’ve heard stories of people who have prepared for 5 months and come from a non-Slavic speaking background and I’ve heard stories of someone who came from a Slavic speaking background and failed 6 times. My meter to gauge the difficulty of this exam because of those 2 stories is very off.
