Examination Methods

The final exam consists of a written test on grammar and writing, a listening test and a conversation in Chinese.
Each part of the test has a ten-points worth. Students must obtain at least 6/10 points in each part of the test in order to pass the exam. All the parts of the exam must be passed in the same date: whoever wants or needs to repeat the exam must repeat all of its parts (written test, listening and conversation). The final score will be expressed in points out of 30.
The details about the test will be published on the e-learning page.
HSK certificates will not be accepted as substitute for the exam, nor any of its part. Since attendance is mandatory, students who don't reach 60% of the attendance will not be admitted to the exam. Between 60% and 75% of the attendace students must prepare an additional material for the exam (see syllabus in the previous page). To justify non-attendance certificates proving a real and well-graounded reason (health, study or HSK certificates from level 2 to level 6) will be considered. These certificates should be submitted to the teacher before the exam.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
