The endpoint of this OPO, is calculated as the sum of the different evaluation parts, based on :

  • 8 points from the exam 
  • Remark : if not all evaluations are fulfilled, the endpoint = NA

Exceptions on the calculation of the endpoint, if :

  • the total permanent evaluation is extremely insufficient (< 3.5/10) :
  • there is no 1st exam chance
  • the endpoint of this OPO = the point from the permanent evaluation
  • the examen of the 1st examination chance = insufficient (< 5/10) :
  • the endpoint of this OPO = the point from the exam of the 1st chance

Information about retaking exams

Same principle for the exam, as for the 1st chance exam.

The score of the permanent evaluation is fully transferred to the 2nd examination chance, except :

  • with an extremely insufficient point (< 3.5/10) of the permanent evaluation 
  • the score should be reworked by the student, conform the modalities discussed in an individual appointment between docent and student, before participation to the 2nd examination chance 

The endpoint calculation of the 2nd examination chance is the sum of all the scores of the different evaluations, except if the exam of the 2nd chance is lower than extremely insufficient  (< 3.5/10). The endpoint of this OPO is than the point of the 2nd exam.
