Evaluation Methodology
Students who have opted for continuous assessment will be subject to two written tests. In the written test, a grade lower than 8 will result in immediate admission to the exam.
A grade between 8 and 12 will allow the student to take an oral exam, which will be conducted before a jury.
If the student obtains a grade higher than 12 in the continuous assessment tests, they will be exempt from taking the final exam.
Students admitted to the exam will take a written exam and will be approved if they obtain a grade of 12, thus being exempt from the oral exam.
During the appeal period, students will be approved if they obtain a grade of 10.
