TESTING
Type of testing	Dates of the tests	Content of testing	Pass mark	Method of tests rating
1st partial test	app. in the 8th week   of the winter period (the exact date will be specified two weeks before the test]	nouns and adjectives of the 1st and 2nd declensions (lesson 1-3]	70%	The partial tests are designed to help the student to asses his/her knowledge regularly. In the event of failure in the partial test, the student is not loosing his/her chance to sit the credit test, and this is the reason why the partial tests are not possible to resit. However,  each successfully written       partial test automatically enhances the student's chances to succeed in the credit test as the final pass mark is lowered by 5% each time. Taking the fact that the credit test is a very complex test anticipating extensive knowledge of the subject, we strongly recommend students to take advantage of lowering their pass mark of the credit test by successful completion   of  the partial tests.
2nd partial test	app. in the 11th week   of the winter period (the exact date will be specified two weeks before the test]	nouns  of the 3rd declension (lesson 4-5]	70%	
Credit test	in the last week of the winter period	complex testing of the curriculum (lesson 1-6]	60% if successful in both partial tests 65% if successful in one of the partial tests only 70% if not successful in  any  of the partial tests
