2. a written exam focusing on the "esercitazioni" component

3. SAT (speaking ability test). A brief conversation in English. All information on this part can be found on line in the ELSP site

Only after passing the two written exams , students can sit the SAT. There are three written exams every academic year, one for each session (May, September and January). Written exams are valid for two years. Results are published in the bacheca for English in the department and on line.

Exams for those who have English as third language.

These students can dispense with the sat

Those students who at the beginning of the year have given the titolare a valid language certification should sit only the exam of the "lezioni frontali" component.
