Admission Exam — Geography I (2025) — UEM

Prepare for the Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM) Admission Exam with this complete Geography I mock test, built from the actual exam administered by the Department of University Admission (DAU) in 2025. This resource brings together 40 multiple-choice questions (each with 5 alternatives, A to E) exactly in the format, structure and difficulty level of the official exam, including the same optical reading instructions used in the real exam — the ideal tool for testing your Geography knowledge, especially of Mozambique, before exam day.

Duration and format faithful to the real exam

The test lasts 90 minutes, just like the official UEM/DAU exam. It is recommended to simulate real exam conditions: time yourself, answer without consulting books, atlases or notes, and only check the answer key at the end. This practice is essential to realistically assess your preparation level and your ability to manage time under pressure, just as you will in the actual admission exam.

Topics covered in the Geography I mock test

This mock test comprehensively covers the main themes of General Geography and the Geography of Mozambique, namely:

• History and foundations of Geography as a science, including Greek systematization, periploi, the theory of Earth's sphericity and the debate between geocentrism and heliocentrism;
• Relief and geological formations, including Mount Binga, the Chimanimani range, inselbergs and the main rock types (igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary);
• Geographic and cosmic location of Mozambique, including hemispheres, parallels, meridians, territorial area, time zone and provinces;
• Climate and atmosphere, covering solstices, equinoxes, atmospheric composition, ocean currents (Benguela, Agulhas and Mozambique Channel) and types of erosion;
• Hydrography, covering the main river basins of Mozambique, the Zambezi River, the Nile River and the tectonic lakes of East Africa;
• Demography and population, with indicators such as birth rate, fertility rate, 2017 census, age pyramids, economically active population and urban/rural distribution;
• Economic geography and transport, including economic sectors, livestock, monoculture and logistics corridors such as the Beira Corridor.

Commented answer key: the true diferential of this mock test

More than just presenting the correct answer, this mock test offers, for each of the 40 questions, a clear and well-founded explanation: why the correct alternative is right, and why each of the other alternatives is wrong, with precise geographic and statistical data. Whenever necessary, answers were verified against additional official sources (such as the National Statistics Institute and the General Population and Housing Census), with full transparency regarding any ambiguities in the original document — guaranteeing rigorous, reliable study material with no fabricated information.
