Theoretical question: students have to choose one question from the given topics.

Failed exam:
In case of one part of the exam is failed then the whole exam is unsuccessful, the student will receive a grade 1 evaluation, which is registered in the black book and the NEPTUN system as well. If the student reached at least grade 2 at the computer test, it is not necessary to rewrite it, only if the student wants to reach a better grade. In case of failing one question at the oral exam, then the whole oral exam part is failed.
Sign up for the Internal Medicine Diagnostic exam is possible at the NEPTUN system (minimum 8 students, maximum 25 students per day including Hungarian and foreign students together).
