The test format, number of questions and tasks, other test characteristics are announced at least 1 week before the test. The test consists of 2 types of questions: “yes/no questions” and calculation tasks, each is graded on 10-15 points. Results of the tests are graded on a 10-point scale. The final result is rounded to 2 decimal places. 15-20 theoretical questions (Yes/No) and 2-3 calculating tasks will be given to be solved. In the case of testing via Smart LMS, a test version is created for each student by randomly selecting the required number of questions and tasks from the question bank. Test questions may have equal or different values (weights). In case of different weights, the specific value is indicated in the wording of the question. The specific evaluating procedure is described in the test description and can be read by students at the beginning of the test. The time limit is indicated in the test description and depends on the number of questions and tasks.
