A score is therefore assigned based on the work's level of clarity and legibility.The score ranges from 0 to 6, with a two-point interval (0, 2, 4 or 6).

In this case, the examiner gives it a score of "0" and refrains from going on with the evaluation.

If the multimedia work is a joke about mad scientists, the examiner will be able to give it a minimum positive score (2), because it could be said that the multimedia work contributes to the diffusion of scientific and technological culture, though in a very little way.

If the multimedia work consists of a software which simulates a guided sight-seeing tour of the Roman Coliseum, the given score can be higher because the multimedia work stimulates people to get close to the computer world; still, it could not be the maximum score because the work is more
