Exam content and description
Objectives
The exam is scored out of a maximum of 30 points, which will go into the calculation of your grade point
average, and evaluates your ability to:
• understand fairly long and complex listening passages, making notes and reworking the information
heard
• write structured texts of various types
• oral interaction: presentation and discussion
• demonstrate your knowledge of the language, by correctly using a range of vocabulary and
grammatical structures
Rules
The exam consists of a written paper and an oral exam. Both need to be passed for the grade to count
towards the final average. In order to take the oral exam, it is necessary to:
• pass the written exam (minimum mark 18/30)
• have a test score that hasn’t expired, i.e. that is still valid (see Written Exam, Validity)
Students can choose to retake the written exam before taking the oral exam but must remember that
handing in their paper annuls any previous grade given.
The Oral exam is compulsory and the score is added to the written grade.

We would like to remind students that, in order to take the exam, they must register for the exam
session in question at the Punto Blu.
Organisation

The oral exam can only be taken once you have passed the written exam. Students
will be assessed in terms of their practical ability to communicate. During the oral
exam marks can be added to or subtracted from the written exam result in the
following way:

•
by +3 or -3, if the oral exam is passed within the 3 oral exams subsequent to

exams, but still by 12 months subsequent to the written exam
