Extra information about the assessment
Students pass a study component by scoring a 6 or higher on the examination. To pass the examination, the final test must be graded with at least a 5.5. Note that there are no intermediate tests in academic year 2024/2025, and that the final grade is determined 100% from the final test, which will cover all course content.
