The final exam includes a written test consisting of two parts, one relating to the readership (dictation + grammar test) the other to the course of the teacher (on the same day). Those who pass the written test are admitted to the oral test, which also includes two parts (on the same day): a. conversation with the mother-tongue reader on topics covered during the year; b. questioning with the teacher on the grammar topics covered during the year + reading and understanding at first sight of an adequate text + translation of one of the passages addressed in class + questions by lot on the main stages of the history of Russia, on geography and political order of the Russian Federation.

Only attending students will be able to support exemptions.
