Assessment:

The candidate must achieve a minimum score of 60% in all of the 5 skills areas in order to pass the exam.

The Filter Examination can be re-taken twice in one examination period.

Only those tasks of the 5 sets must be re-done in which the student has obtained an "F" (below 60%). For instance, if you pass the listening, reading and speaking parts but fail the grammar and writing parts, only the latter two has to be re-taken on the next occasion. 

If the student receives an "Fail" (1) in any sub-task for the third time, the whole examination must be re-taken the next year.   

Examination marks are awarded on a five-point scale, with the following ranges:

below 60%: fail (1)

above 60% satisfactory (2),

above 70% average (3),

above 80% good (4)

above 90% excellent (5)
