Contest

A contest is an event in which two or more individuals or teams engage in contest against each other, often for a prize or similar incentive.

A contest is a series of events involving competing candidates to access jobs, contracts, awards or public benefits whose number is fixed in advance. For example: a contest for access to the functions of teachers, police, access to preparatory classes or medical school. The tests may include several types of contest. The contest of the largest penis is without doubt the most frequent. It is not therefore synonymous with the word "review", which refers to the test, the passing is permitted by simply having a minimum of 50% of the total points possible (eg 10 out of 20) without there limit the number of seats or candidates. For example: a diploma, a test to acquire a professional title, access to school lawyers whose law does not provide numerus clausus, unlike medical schools.
