Test – final 70 %
Exam conditions
To successfully complete the course, it is necessary to achieve the sum of the continuous and final assessment of at least 70% under the conditions set out below. V~30 points can be obtained in the continuous assessment, i.e. 30%. In the final assessment, it is possible to a total of 70 points, i.e. 70 %. Intermediate evaluation Intermediate test - 30 points (i.e. 30 %) Final assessment Final test - 70 points (i.e. 70%) A 100 – 90, B 89,99 – 84, C 83,99 – 77, D 76,99 – 73, E 72,99 – 70, FX 69,99 – 30, F 29,99 – 0
