Before the Medical Pathophysiology exam, students who want to take the practical exam are required to electronically confirm their participation by filling out the online questionnaire on THIS LINK by Friday, 12.09.2025, at noon the latest.

About the practical exam and the final test:

The practical exam is oral, compulsory, and eliminatory. The student draws two questions (general and special, systems pathophysiology) and is questioned by the examiner in English.

The final test consists of 60 multiple-choice and/or answer-matching questions, meaning the student can be given 4 or 5 possible answers for each question, and only one of those answers is the correct one, or the student needs to match the parts of the answer correctly. The final test can also include case studies (vignettes).

More information on the exam, practical exam questions and the grading policy can be found on the website: https://studiesinenglish.med.bg.ac.rs/courses/third-year/medical-pathophysiology/

 

Important basic rules of academic behaviour:

Use of any kind of electronic devices (phones, smart watches/arm bands, eyewear, ear buds, electronic pens, etc.) is strictly forbidden once you enter the space where the exam is held, and all students are strongly encouraged not to bring them to the exam. You will be asked to shut down and/or hand in all of your electronic devices in case you do bring them, and you can only take them back once you are finished with the exam. If any electronic device is found with a student during the exam, regardless of whether he/she is using it or not, the student will be removed from the exam and disciplinary action will be taken against him/her.

Once you are given the questions for the practical exam and/or the final test, you need to be silent and stop talking with other students throughout the exam duration. Disregarding this rule will be considered a violation of the course of the exam, and you will be removed from it.

 

Exam rules:

Please bring your student index with a photograph and the white exam application (“bela prijava”) to the exam.

Students who fail to bring and show the necessary identification document and exam application will not be allowed to take the exam. Both the practical exam and the final test are organized in English, and the students are required to communicate using only this language.

Preliminary results of the exam will be available within 24 hours, and the students will have a chance for test review within 72 hours after the end of the final test. The information regarding the test review will be provided in a timely manner. The final results of the exam and recording the grade in the student index will be done shortly after the test review.

 

Practical exam and final test points:

The grade that the student gets on the practical exam (if he/she passes the exam) is multiplied by 2, and that forms the number of points the student gets towards the final number of points and the final grade.

To pass the final test, the student needs to answer more than 30 questions correctly (i.e., 50%+1) and, based on the number of questions he/she answered correctly, is awarded a certain number of points.
