EXAM DESCRIPTION

Written and oral examination

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The written test consists of a series of open-ended questions with a score that varies in proportion to the difficulty of the question. Students can be admitted to the oral even with a grade equal to or greater than 16/30. The test includes knowledge of the topics covered during the lessons and in the books included in the bibliography.

The oral exam consists in the correction of the written test and in the comment and illustration of the answers provided by the student. The grade may vary (within a limit of three points more or less than the written evaluation) due to the answers given during the oral test.
