There are 8 official date, 4 in the January-February winter session, and 4 in the summer session, June-July. A date is also scheduled in April, during the period of didactic silence. In the case of negative result, students can register for the first date made at least 30 days apart. Overcoming general and inorganic chemistry is a mandatory requirement to be able to take the analytical chemistry test. The test can be supported at the student's choice in written or oral form. It also provides for the resolution of exercises as well as open questions of theory. The written test lasts 2 hours and the oral exam has a variable time.
In the examination the knowledge and skills in the quantitative analytical chemical field are verified. The ability to understand the use of equilibria in solution and of analytical techniques for quantitative purposes is evaluated; the ability to apply multivariate optimization and data processing procedures both during the development of the method and during the validation phase is also assessed.
