Scoring bands — a mirror, not an exam: Scoring: 20/20 = Master of Mantiq; 17–19 = Ready for Falsafa; 14–16 = Review weak sessions; below 14 = Revisit Sessions 7–11. This course is not an exam — it is a mirror.

Fresh diagram to be drawn: None; this topic becomes an interactive quiz in the app (20 questions, hints after first attempt, scoring bands as above).

Note: Q9's hint lists three Muttasila types (Luzumiyya, Ittifaqiyya, Muwafaqa) that differ from the Haqqiyya/Ittifaqiyya split in Topic 6.1 — this inconsistency in the slides must be resolved before publication.
