In option A , text and three of the questions will focus on one of the first six authors of the program (Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine, St. Thomas, Descartes and Hume), while that in option B , text and three of the other issues discussed on the program's authors (Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine, St. Thomas, Descartes, Hume, Rousseau, Kant, Marx, Nietzsche and Ortega ), but in a different philosophical age to the author of option A. Therefore, if one prepares very well from Plato to Hume, knows for certain that he will ask one of the authors who have prepared.
will four issues, which will be modeled after the questions have been raised in reviews of assessments, with a small difference in the fourth question, which is specified below. Therefore, the advice they gave to the review of the 2nd assessment in relation to the questions first, second and third are still valid (in this blog, as of February 2, 2011 ). It should be emphasized that to correctly answer the second question must be very careful on two things:
· Link good ideas to avoid exposing the contents of isolated or disconnected.
· Use language appropriately and accurately, especially when it comes to philosophical terms.
The fourth question was asked the explanation of a philosophical problem (for example, the problem of knowledge) in a philosophical author or not belonging to the author's time which is being proposed in first question. So, if the text of Plato, this question will indicate that you have to explain the philosophical problem proposed in a philosophical author or not belonging to ancient times, which means that you can choose any author from Augustine to Ortega y Gasset. It is therefore very important to know what time each author belongs.
The answers to questions 1 st, 3 rd and 4 th may obtain a maximum score of 2 points each, while the answer to question 2 ª may be up to 4 points.
2. Consideration for those who have suspended two or more reports.

The first question was asked , as those carried out in the three evaluations, "exposing the fundamental ideas of the proposed text and the relationship between them." So, the advice they gave to the review of the 2nd assessment in relation to the first question are still valid (in this blog, as of February 2, 2011 ).
The remaining four issues may be of the following type:
a) Post a philosophical problem (for example, will the problem of knowledge) in a author of the program.
