The exam is written and integrated, comprising in total 70 questions with single or multiple choice answers related to all teaching modules: 20 questions referred to both Pharmacology and Nursing, 15 for each of the other two disciplines. The exam is passed if 18 points will be reached in each of the four disciplines: it is possible to repeat a part of the exam (one-two disciplines) in presence of a negative evaluation. The repetition of the whole exam will be requested in absence of an effective recovery. In some cases, an oral integration will be possible.

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