Structure of the exam:

The exam consists of a written part and an oral part. The written part contains four problems. For each problem you get up to 20 points, making the total 80 points for the written part. Oral exam is a theoretical question for up to 20 points. This part is not obligatory, it allows you to add points to those you had got for the written exam.

60-69 D (satisfactory)
70-79 C (good)
80-89 B (very good)
90-100 A (excellent)
