60% The progress tests are
designed to help students
to assess their knowledge
regularly. If you fail in a
progress test, you do not
lose your chance to pass
the credit test, and this is
the reason, why there are
NO resits of progress
tests. However, each
successfully written
progress test automatically
enhances student´s
chances to succeed in the
written part of the exam as
the final pass mark is
lowered by 5% each time.
Considering the fact that
the exam is a very complex
test anticipating the
extensive knowledge of
the subject, students are
strongly recommended
to take progress tests
and possibly lower the
pass limit for the exam
test.
