A8 + A9: Practicals Exam

The practicals exam is a live-coding exam. It determines the exercise component of the course grade and is worth up to 65 points.

You must achieve at least 50% in the practicals exam (A8 or A9), corresponding to at least 32.5 out of 65 points, to pass the course. A1 and the lecture exam must also each be passed with at least 50%. The lecture exam must also be passed with at least 50%. These minimum requirements apply separately; a higher score in another component or bonus points cannot compensate for a score below 50%.

WS 2026/27: The mandatory A1 entry test is cancelled. A1 counts only as an optional bonus assignment worth up to 2 points.
