Requirements to the exam -

Credit: To receive credit, student must achieve at least 40% (20 points out of 50) in three tests during the semester. Test replacement or improvement are given during the exam period and the student may replace one, two, or all three sections. Three terms are announced and a student may attend a maximum of two. A student who has received credit may register for the examination.

Credit earned is accepted, but only once and only if the student retakes the course the following semester. If he/she takes the course more than once, he/she must regain the credit according to the above rules.

Examination. To pass the oral examination, the student must successfully answer two questions from the list of questions and achieve at least 40% (20 points out of 50) on each question. The final mark is calculated from the pass mark of the control tests and the oral part of the examination. Detailed scoring and a list of exam questions are provided in the e-learning.
