Two exams are planned along the year:
January
- Written and oral exam (3h) based on grammar and vocabulary, reading comprehension, listening, writing and speaking. Each skill is worth 20% of the mark. This exam will count for the 50% of the final score.
June
- Written and oral exam (3h) based on the eLAO test (15%), reading comprehension (15%), listening (15%), writing (15%), speaking pt. 1 (presentation, 20%), speaking pt. 2 (question on the different regional economies, 20%). This exam will count for the other 50% of the final score.
N.B.: The eLAO test is scheduled in June outside the written exam. The results will be weighted as follows:
A1 = 1/20
A1.25 = 2/20
A1.50 = 3/20
A1.75 = 3/20
A2 = 4/20
A2.25 = 5/20
A2.50 = 6/20
A2.75 = 7/20
B1 = 8/20
B1.25 = 9/20
B1.50 = 10/20
B1.75 = 11/20
B2 = 12/20
B2.25 = 13/20
B2.50 = 14/20
B2.75 = 15/20
C1 = 16/20
C1.25 = 17/20
C1.50 = 18/20
C1.75 = 19/20
C2 = 20/20
August (second session)
- Written and oral exam (3 hours) based on the following skills: grammar and vocabulary (15%), reading comprehension (15%), listening comprehension (15%), written expression (15%), speaking pt. 1 (presentation, 20%), speaking pt. 2 (question on the different regional economies, 20%). The exam will be based on the whole programme (1st + 2nd semester) and marks from the two previous sessions will not be taken into account.
IMPORTANT! An unjustified absence from the compulsory presentation will automatically result in a 2nd term attendance mark and the entire exam being taken in the second session. Please therefore ensure you attend on the chosen date.
If speaking 1 is passed in Q2 but the examination as a whole is not passed, the presentation mark will remain unchanged in the second session.
N.B.: Decimals will be rounded by default between 0 and 5, by excess between 6 and 9.
Example: average of 12.5 > 12 // average of 12.6 > 13
