DESCRIPTION OF EXAM

The curriculum is Deuteronomy 5-9, Genesis 1, and Psalm 24. The exam will be like this: you draw a lot with a number between 1 and 10, and this number will correspond to one of 10 small texts (5-7 lines or so) that I have picked out from the above-mentioned texts. You will then have 30 minutes of preparation, after which you will be called in for the examination which will last 10-15 minutes. After our short deliberation (a few minutes) you will receive the grade. the grades are given according to the Danish 7-point grading scale, http://en.iu.dk/education-in-denmark/detailed-information/grading-systems

You are allowed to use a dictionary, a grammar, and the Hebrew bible for the 30 minute preparation. There can't be any notes, such as translations, in the Bible text.

In addition, in Denmark there is always an external examiner involved in exams to make sure that everything is done by the book.
