The exam consists of multiple choice questions and must be completed within 30 minutes. Students will need to achieve at least 20 points from a possible 33 to pass the exam. Students can have two attempts at the exam. A student will have to resit the whole course if they do not achieve the required marks on the second attempt. (We do not charge for resits.)
