Examination situations, especially oral examinations, often put students under pressure. Students can also have the feeling that examiners are being somewhat arbitrary when examiners formulate their questions with their subjective and individual view of the examination topic.

These problems can be solved in two ways. Firstly, the examiners are provided with question catalogues in advance. A catalogue of questions is assigned to a subject area. The examiners can select questions from this catalogue before and/or during the examination.

Secondly, students are allowed to choose from five subject areas before the start of the examination. This gives them the opportunity to personally weigh up and choose according to their own strengths.

Consequences

It is estimated that both measures contribute to a better atmosphere in the audit.
There is less suspicion of arbitrariness, and the content and organisation of examinations will become more transparent.
