Exams: Pass/fail?
• Passing a subject ?
o Min. 10/20 (= credit )
o Only the courses < 10/20 2nd exam chance
o Remark: register digitally for the exams of June and
August/September!
• 2 chances to pass the course
o Eg fail course in January
• 2nd chance in August/September
o Eg fail course in June
• 2nd chance in August/September
Courses < 10/20 2nd exam chance
Retake a course for which you obtained less than 10 out of 20: Best
result : you keep the best mark! (only within the same academic year)
Eg Macro– and International Economics
• June: 9/20
• August/September: 6/20
=> You keep the 9/20
Exam result : course out of 2 parts
(Mathematics) • At least 8,00/20 on both parts (A & B)
Final grade = average of part A & part B
• E.g.: part A: 8,20/20 – part B: 11,10/20 average: 9,65/20 =
(from .5 rounded up =) 10/20 credit
• Less than 8,00/20 on one or two of the parts
Final grade = the lowest grade
e.g. Part A : 6,3/20 and Part B : 11,7/20 =>
End result = 6,3/20 (lower than .5 rounded down = ) 6/20
2nd exam chance only (!) for the unsuccessful part
Last (NOT the best) result counts for parts !
Again one of the two parts less than 8/20? Both parts again next
year
8,00/20 on both parts? Final grade = average grade
