Assessment methods and criteria
The written exam has four questions with six points each. A total of 24 points. All questions are calculations.
Six points in a task require complete calculation with the right values and the right answer.
Points are given for correct thinking, carelessness gives deductions.
The home exercises can give a maximum of six points extra.
Assessment criteria, fail (0)
Less than 8 points from the written exam.
Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)
Grade 1: 8 - 11,5 points.
Grade 2: 12 - 15,5 points.
Assessment criteria, good (3-4)
Grade 3: 16 - 19,5 points.
Grade 4: 20 - 23,5 points.
Assessment criteria, excellent (5)
24 points and more.
