Exam Structure and Assessment

The exam consists of 30 multiple choice questions. For each of the questions, 5 points are given for a correct answer, -1 point is given for an incorrect answer, and 0 points are given for not answering the question. For each question, there is only one correct answer. Technically, the exam system allows selecting more than one option, but in that case 0 points are given.

The total number of points needed to obtain a specific grade or to pass the exam is determined after the exam in collaboration with an external censor. See the grade history
