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 there are NO resits
of partial tests.
However, each successfully
written partial test automa-­‐tically
enhances student´s chances to
succeed in thewrriten part of the
exam as the final pass mark is
lowered by 5% each time.
Considering the fact that the exam
test is a very complex test
anticipating the extensive
knowledge of the subject, we
strongly recommend students
to take advantage of lowering
their pass mark of the exam
test by successful completion of
the partial tests.
