Additional information:

1) Students will have to take two vocabulary tests in Q1. They will have to translate given words from French into Dutch. Students will be exempted from this vocabulary for the written exam in January if they obtain a minimum of 10/20 in each test. If they obtain a mark of less than 10/20, they will have to retake the test in the written exam (if they do not retake them, they will obtain a mark of 0 for this part of the exam). These tests represent approximately 20% of the mark for the written exam.

2) Written exam in January.
The written exam will focus on the vocabulary (+-30%) and grammar (+-30%) covered in Q1 and will also include a reading comprehension exercise (+-20%). Students not exempted from the basic vocabulary (+-20%) will be able to retake the tests they failed in the written exam.
