The examination in both parts, as well as the resulting assessment takes place according to the generally accepted 10 point system ((by analogy with Chapter I 4 of the Study Regulations).
The resulting grade mark is calculated according to a specific formula (see below). For the resulting assessment to be successful in this comprehensive test, both sections must be successfully passed.
The resulting VP rating (Rv) is calculated as follows:
The percentage of each part of the VP is multiplied by the rating obtained in this part (a, b) and the result obtained
sum of numbers divided by 100:
Rv = (a x 70) + (b x 30) / 100
Where a and b are the evaluation of the practical and theoretical part,
70 and 30 are the percentages of each part.
If the resulting score is a number with decimals, it is rounded to the nearest whole number.
