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
