Each student will be able to choose a topic among two drawn by lot and will have half an hour to prepare his presentation. This preparation should be done without the aid of books or notes. As a result, if he/she wishes, he/she can prepare a personal and brief script of the chosen topic, which can then be used in the presentation.

The candidate will present the subject before the corresponding examining board for a period of 30 minutes, although the examining board may interrupt the presentation after 20 minutes if it considers the presentation to be sufficient. The candidate will also submit to the questions that the members of the examining board deem appropriate to ask in order to complete their judgment.

The examining board will grade, but will not draw up the report, which will be done at a later date. Specifically: once the tests have been completed in the various panels, the Presidents - or, if they cannot attend, another member of each panel - will meet to comment on the tests as a whole; a single report will then be drawn up (in which only the final grade will appear), which will be signed by three of the examining professors.
