The written exam consists of three sections. Each section includes either a question regarding the analysis of a particular topic or a question in which students are asked to identify, comprehend, and analyze/compare one or more passages from one/two literary texts.

One question will focus on a passage/excerpt not discussed in class.

Students are expected to identify and discuss the passages, focusing on the topic highlighted in the instructions.

The duration of the exam is 60 minutes.

The grading system ranges from 18/30 to 30/30 cum laude. In order to pass the exam, students must complete at least two sections. To earn the highest score (30/30 cum laude), students must complete all sections of the written exam and demonstrate, in addition to good writing skills, a thorough knowledge of the texts in the reading list, a capacity for textual analysis and for placing the excerpted passages in their proper context.
