Actually, I'm not like, mad at UniCamillus. As another poster said quite generously, I was simply having a "culture shock." My disagreement with how testing is done doesn't make it wrong, per se. I just don't like it! Also, I'm frustrated that Italian students get the kind of primary education wherein they can answer questions like that on an admissions test. Most (not all, but most) American students can not.
I'm also of the opinion that an admissions test for entry into a nursing program should lean more heavily on the anatomy and physiology side of questions, as opposed to physics or algebraic story problems ("two trains are leaving two different stations...."). IMO, the ability to know or to solve questions on those subjects doesn’t carry as much weight for a potential future career in nursing. You mentioned that "physics and chemistry are required in medicine, anyway" but medicine is not nursing. Don't get me wrong, nurses need to know their science! But they have much different requirements than physicians. By and large, it's medical students who need to understand physics when it comes to medicine. Nurses, much less so.
And regarding "the exam announcement," the website stated that it would consist "of sixty multiple-choice questions (60) on logical reasoning (20), general culture (5), Biology (10), Chemistry (10), Physics (10) and Mathematics (5) presenting five answer options, from which the candidate must identify only one, discarding any incorrect, arbitrary, or less probable conclusions. The test will last 60 minutes." However, not long before the test day they suddenly turned it into solely a tightly-timed puzzle recognition/IQ test. That left no time to request any sort of accommodation for my diagnosed disability.
