suitability and aptitude test


Explanation:
"Geeignetheitsprüfung" is used in the sense of "Eignungsprüfung", IMO


Commenting on plans to introduce a ***suitability and aptitude test*** for medicine, the IMO said that the existing points-based entry system was safe from interference and any form of canvassing.
