Zkouška má písemnou a ústní část. Písemná část sestává ze dvou úloh a úspěšné složení písemné části je nutnou podmínkou k pokračování ústní částí zkoušky. Požadavky ke zkoušce odpovídají odpřednášené části sylabu doplněné o části zadané k samostatnému nastudování. Při opakování zkoušky se opakuje písemná i ústní část.
