Rules for the upcoming exam on February 2

27 janeiro 2026, 10:29 Joao Manuel de Freitas Xavier

Dear all, 

This announcement is relevant only for those students who want to take the 2nd exam, next Monday, February 2, at 18h00.

Here are the rules for the exam. Please read them carefully. 

a) you must bring an identification card with your name and photo (if you have an IST card, bring it);

b) the room for the exam is Salão Nobre (if you didn't register last week, you are still allowed to do the exam: just go to Salão Nobre as the other students);

c) the duration of the exam is 1h30m;

d) this is a fully closed-book quiz (in Portuguese: "exame sem qualquer consulta"); 

e) you can bring to the exam only scratch sheets of paper (in Portuguese: "folhas de rascunho"), but which should be completely blank at the beginning (nothing should be written on them before you start the exam);

f) no electronic calculators (of any kind) are allowed;

g) there are 4 multiple-choice questions and 3 open-response questions;

h) you mark your answers to the multiple-choice questions in a box at the top of page 1.  There is no negative score for marking an incorrect choice (an incorrect choice in a problem means zero points as the score on that problem); 

i) you write your answers to the open-response questions directly in the pages where the open-response questions are printed (that is, in the pages of the exam that we provide). We will not accept answers written outside these exam pages;

j) the exam is about the contents of all modules (module 1 to 4).

Best wishes,
