Important to remember:
If a student has a mean grade of 5 or over 5 but has a mark lower than 4.5 in the 2nd oral exam (the one held in late May), they will have to re-sit only the ORAL EXAM in late June.
If the mean grade is lower than 5 because of the grammar block, they will have to re-sit only that part.
If the mean grade is lower than 5 because the student has had a poor performance in both blocks, they will have to re-sit both the grammar and the oral block.
If the mean grade is 4.8 or 4.9: The teacher will look at the mark from attendance and participation and will decide whether the student will have to re-sit exams in accordance with the students’ engagement in the course. If the mean grade is lower than 4.8, students will have to go to re-sits.
At re-sits (both written and oral), students will have to take a comprehensive exam of all the year. The marks accumulated throughout the course will count for nothing at re-sits. The maximum grade that can be obtained at re-sits is a 6.
