Multiple exam sessions will be organized to ensure a smooth selection process. Each test will be different, as the questions will be drawn from an archive and reproduced in random order.

The following assessments will determine the final score:

• 1 point for each correct answer;
• 0 points for each answer not given;
• 4 for each incorrect or multi-choice answer.

Candidates with a minimum score of 60/100 will pass the selection process.

The winners will be selected among the most deserving of the provincial rankings, while the eligible non-winners may be re-elected in the following 24 months in case of needs in the chosen province or neighbouring provinces.
