For each of the five criteria are awarded up to a maximum of 10 points, the sum of which gives the final grade. The exam consists of three open questions that can also contain simple exercises related to the descriptive part of the assigned question.
Since the maximum mark attributed to each question is 10/30 to reach the sufficiency it is necessary to have answered at least two questions. There are no intermediate tests or tests reserved for attending students.
