Requirements to the exam -

The exam is awarded on the basis of answers in a sixty-minute written test, where an exegesis of one pericope (maximum 8 points) and four additional questions (maximum two points each) will be required. The condition for the procedure is at least 60% success rate of answers.

The range of questions and texts is given by the syllabus here and in more detail by the teacher's book "First Study of the Old Testament" (In czech only První studium Starého zákona).

Of course, independent orientation in the topic is also assumed, not just memorization.
