Calculation formula of final grade

 

1st examination: 40% = 8 values. 2ª examination: 40% = 8 values. Pratical case of Radiology: 10% = 2 values. Pratical case of Neuroradiology: 10% = 2 values.

or

Final examination: 80% = 16 values. Pratical case of Radiology: 10% = 2 values. Pratical case of Neuroradiology: 10% = 2 values.
