funny,here(a jungle hotel named iran) its multiplied by 2,you should get 10 for passing the cource the average should be above 12 lest under that you should pick under 14 units,the worse will happen when you have three of such semesters consequtively or 4 inconsequtively and you will be expelled,i have 3 inconsequtively :lol:

Agreed. As said we have 1 to 5. If you have one 5, you failed the final exams. You may fail them three times per Bundesland (e.g. 27 tries). If you still can't do it... well then only the spork can help you. Though it is not that critical in a normal school year: If you have for example one 5, and the rest of the marks are fairly well (everything above 3) you get a "clause". This means that you are allowed to go on to the next grade. If you don't receive a clause you need to take test in September, if you succeed your mark will become better. One special thing: If you have a clause, you may still make this test. If you succeed the clause will be "dropped" as not needed. This can be very usefull: The clause can be given only once per subject per school (e.g. once per five years of my former school). If you fail in the test, and don't have a clause you have to repeat the grade. :rolleyes:

Complicated, complicated :D

Welcome back, man! .. and congratulations on the degree - good grades. :)

Well, we have summer school which is optional for most, but mandatory for those with failing marks. The old grade doesn't get erased, but you can always improve your average by doing well in summer school.
