The test questions will have 4 possible answers and only one valid. Erroneous responses penalize according to the formula A- (E / n-1). Being A: number of hits, E: number of errors, n: number of response options. The 100% of the total mark will constitute both sections with a value of 40% and 60% respectively, being necessary the qualification of 5 to pass the subject.
