Seminifinal examination

Written examination, Dec 7:

The exam is composed of two parts: (1) drawing 10 formulas, each is worth one point (see Requirements in Medical Chemistry for the list of obligatory structures) and (2) solving 20 multiple choice questions (one point each).

Grading:

  • 0 – 10 points: fail (1)
  • 11 – 15 points: pass (2)
  • 16 – 20 points: satisfactory (3)
  • 21 – 25 points: good (4)
  • 26 – 30 points: excellent (5)

Failed exams cannot be retaken.
