Today I got an application and information packet on Charles University and Viera over at Papanek Foundation informed me that I can sit for a proctored exam in the USA and she'll mail the exam to me when I'm ready.

So, I'm thinking I'll bite the bullet and at least see if I can get accepted and decide from there.

I took Biology and Chemistry (Honors for both) in high school but have not taken a solid Physics course in HS or college, I intend on changing that this year by taking BCP but in case this doesn't work out with changing my schedule around (as we've already registered for classes this year, so changing around might be a little hard) can anyone reccomend a study guide for BCP (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) that will refresh me and get me a little more prepared for this exam?

I scored an A- and B+ in Chemistry and Biology respectively. I did take a somewhat algebra based physics course one summer that was offered by a local University, I got a B in it --- so I am somewhat familiar with physics concepts, but I don't feel comfortable to take an exam with it.

So, if anyone could reccomend some study guides or anything that will assist, it'd be greatly appreciated.

My opinion is the best way to prepare for the entrance test is to look at the sample questions. I think if you speak to Viera she should provide some sort of syllabus so you know what areas to refreshen.

I have recently taken the entrance exam at Charles University 1st Faculty and have written an ebook about the exam and my findings while there. It is a valuable source of information. You can find it at my website journalmd.com

Your high school books will be sufficient since the entrance exam difficulty is made for high school graduates.
I can recommend 'chemistry and life', campbell biology and any physics book
