The assessment is conducted through a test with 3 open-ended questions requiring short answers.

The open-ended questions, totaling 3, have the following scoring: +3 points if answered correctly, -3 points if answered incorrectly, -2 points if incomplete, and -1 point if absent. The time allocated for the written test is 35 minutes.

The maximum achievable score, assuming all answers are correct and complete, is therefore 30 with honors (Lode). The test is considered passed with a minimum score of 18/30.
