Breef brings back what you study for Chemistry, Physics and Biology before you forget it, with quiz questions written from your notes, and gives everything that would fade by the exam a last review.
How to use it
- For each exam, Chemistry and introductory biochemistry, Physics and Biology, enter how many answers you got right and how many wrong; the rest of the 31 count as left blank.
- Read each exam’s score (right answers minus a tenth of a point for each wrong one) and whether it reaches the pass mark of 18.
- See the mark that goes on your record, rounded to the nearest whole mark once passed, and 30 e lode for all 31 right.
- See your section of the national ranking and its points: 300, 200 or 100, by how many exams you passed, plus the scores of those exams.
How the filter semester is scored
Under Ministerial Decree 941/2026, each exam gives 1 point for a right answer, 0 for a blank and −0.1 for a wrong one, so the three are worth at most 93 points together. An exam is passed with 18; if you sit both dates, the better passing score counts.
The national ranking has three sections: students who passed all three exams come first, ranked by 300 points plus their three scores, then those who passed two (200 plus), then one (100 plus). The rules are set each year: this calculator follows the 2026/27 decree.
Questions
How is a filter semester exam scored?
One point for each right answer, zero for each one left blank and minus 0.1 for each wrong one, under Ministerial Decree 941/2026. With 31 questions, the highest score is 31, which is 30 e lode.
What score passes an exam?
18 out of 30. The mark on your record is the score rounded to the nearest whole number, and only once it’s passed; the ranking uses the score itself, to the tenth.
Is it worth guessing?
On points, yes: with five options and −0.1 for a wrong answer, a blind guess is worth about +0.12 on average, and more if you can rule out an option.
How does the ranking work?
Students who passed all three exams come first, with 300 points plus their three scores; then those who passed two, with 200 plus the two scores; then one, with 100 plus that score. Ties go first to disability, then to the younger student.
