   The	
  partial	
  tests	
  are	
  designed	
  
to	
  help	
  students	
  to	
  asses	
  their	
  
knowledge	
   regularly.	
   In	
   the	
  
event	
  of	
  failure	
  in	
  the	
  partial	
  
test,	
  the	
  student	
  is	
  not	
  loosing	
  
her/his	
   chance	
   to	
   pass	
   the	
  
written	
  part	
  of	
  the	
  exam	
  test,	
  
and	
   this	
   is	
   the	
   reason,	
   why	
  
the	
   partial	
   tests	
   are	
   not	
  
possible	
  to	
  resit.	
  	
  
However,	
   each	
   successfully	
  
written	
   partial	
   test	
   automa-­‐
tically	
   enhances	
   student´s	
  
chances	
   to	
   succeed	
   in	
   the	
  
wrriten	
   part	
   of	
   the	
   exam	
   as	
  
the	
  final	
  pass

  is	
  lowered	
  
the	
  by	
  5%	
  each	
  time.	
  	
  
Taking	
  the	
  fact	
  that	
  the	
  exam	
  
test	
   is	
   a	
   very	
   complex	
   test	
  
anticipating	
   the	
   extensive	
  
knowledge	
  of	
  the	
  subject,	
  we	
  
strongly	
   recommend	
   stu-­‐
dents	
   to	
   take	
   advantage	
   of	
  
lowering	
  their	
  pass	
  mark	
  of	
  
the	
  exam	
  test	
  by	
  successful	
  
completion	
   of
