The Admission Simulation — A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 2. Fill in your applicant profile

Enter your details exactly as you would in the real account: your basis for admission (complete general secondary education), your NMT subjects and scores. If you have not worked out your score yet, do it alongside in the calculator.

Step 3. Flag your quota entitlement (if you have one)

If you are entitled to quota 1 or quota 2, tick it. The simulation will show how your separate track works (sub-competition A or B). Not sure about your quota? Read the breakdown of the quotas first.

Step 4. Pick your competitive offers

Find offers by specialty and university and add them to your list. Remember the limit: up to 10 applications in total, of which up to 5 for state-funded places (Section III, item 8).

Step 5. Order your priorities — this is the important part

1 is the highest priority. The rules you need to feel for yourself on the trainer:

• enrollment goes to the offer with the highest priority (the lowest number) where your score is enough for an available state-funded place;
• being enrolled on any priority automatically closes every lower one (priority 3 rules out 4 and 5);
• there is always one state-funded recommendation; turning it down also loses you grant support on a fee-paying place.

Advice from Abitly: set your priorities honestly — “the way you actually want them”, not “so I get in somewhere”. This is our editorial recommendation, not a rule — but an honest order is what produces the best outcome.

Step 6. Run the scenario and draw conclusions

See where you were “enrolled”, try a different order of priorities, compare the outcome. The goal is to find the arrangement that lets you press “Submit” in the real account with a clear head.

FAQ

Is the simulation the official account?
No. It is an Abitly trainer. Real applications are submitted only in EDBO (vstup.edbo.gov.ua). The simulation prepares you for it.

Does the simulation affect my real admission?
No. It is a safe environment — there are no consequences for a real application.

How many times can I go through it?
As many as you like. Try different priority strategies and compare.

What should I do after the simulation?
Work out your final score and keep an eye on the deadlines. After that comes the real submission in EDBO on the set dates.
