- sufficient or barely sufficient knowledge on the programme, limited reasoning ability, some difficulties in using socio-criminological language → 18-21/30;

- fairly good knowledge of the programme, adequate critical reasoning ability, sound use of socio-criminological language → 22-25/30;

- comprehensive knowledge of the programme, notable reasoning ability, good command of socio-criminological language → 26-29/30;

- extensive knowledge of the programme, very good reasoning ability, and ability to fully master socio-criminological language → 30-30L/30.
