Exam and assessment structure

The exam for this new course, offered in 2026–2027, takes place on 4 May 2027 and lasts 2 hours 40 minutes. In the fully digital exam, 60 multiple-choice questions are worth 60%; the remaining 40% comes from four free-response questions, one of them on the student’s Business Canvas project. Students interpret financial data, compare options and justify their decisions. The business idea project prepared during the year also forms the basis for the project question on exam day.
