The Unified Council conducts the National Level Science Talent Search Examination (NSTSE). The NSTSE, which is a screening test, is an exam that aids students in improving their general learning abilities, and the examination’s questions are based on a comprehensive understanding of the concepts. The exam results allow each student to determine whether they have fully grasped the concepts, and if necessary, make changes to their learning style.
