Progress tests are designed to help students check their knowledge regularly. In case of failure,
student is not losing his/her chance to pass the credit test, therefore, there are no resits of
progress tests.

However, each successfully written progress test automa-tically enhances student´s chances to pass
the credit test, since the final pass limit is lowered by 5% each time.

Because passing the credit test requires a comprehensive knowledge of all phenomena covered in
classes, students are strongly recommended to take progress tests and possibly lower the pass limit
for the credit test.




Progress test 2

app. in the 9th week of the autumn term (the exact date will be specified at least one week

before the test)

nouns of the 3rd declension

curriculum

automatically fails and is going to be subject to the consequences according to study regulations.

2.    The first exam date is obligatory, and it usually takes place in the beginning of January.

3.    Each student has the right to resit the exam twice; students choose and register for the
resit exam dates in IS. Resits are possible only during the exam period (January 2 – February 12,
2019).
