Study average 1.00 means 100 points, study average 4.00 means 0 points. The number of points will be assigned by the linear function,

Results of school leaving exams are evaluated only for the information,

The quality of the achieved results of different types of schools is taken into the account by multiplying the achieved point gain by a coefficient of 1.00 for the grammar school graduates, a coefficient of 0.9 for the vocational school graduates and a coefficient of 0.8 for the graduates of the school without school leaving exams.
