In order to take the oral, it is necessary to: pass the written (minimum mark 18/30) have a test score that hasn t expired, i.e. that is still valid (see Written Exam, Validity) Students can choose to retake the written before the taking the oral but must remember that handing in their paper annuls any previous grade given. Students must enrol for all s via the Punto Blu. Written There are two parts in the written, listening and reading, the score for each comprises the total grade in thirtieths. Bilingual and monolingual dictionaries can be used. Duration of : 120 minutes after the listening.

During the oral marks can be added to or subtracted from the written result in the following way: by +3 or -3, if the oral is passed within the 3 oral s subsequent to the written by +1 or -3, if the oral is passed after the first 3 subsequent oral s, but still by 12 months subsequent to the written (this option is possible only for students who take the written after 1 st June 2013).

Any additional points are allocated by the teacher at the end of the course depending on students attendance and active participation as determined in class and on line in each language s Library on the Bocconi e-learning platform. These additional points are valid for a limited period only: from June to the following December after the course has ended, including these months mentioned.
