Zkouška je ústní. Každý student dostane tři otázky, z nichž jedna je početního charakteru, aby student prokázal zvládnutí použitý naučeného formalismu. Požadavky ke zkoušce se kryjí se sylabem a dostupným skriptem s omezením na skutečně probranou látku v kursu. K získání zkoušky je třeba zvládnout početní otázku a alespoň jednu metodickou otázku.
