<p>Okay, so a high school is on a seven-point grading scale (so 72 and below is failing and 73 and higher is passing). If a student got a 70 for one semester and 75 for the other semester for an average of 72.5, do you think the school would round up and pass them, or would the student fail? The school seems to round for everything else, so I assume the student would pass, but I'm not sure.</p>
<p>First semester fail, second semester pass.</p>
<p>I know that, but would the student have to retake the subject again next year? (I mean, if you had to take a guess, obviously no one would know for sure because I’m assuming some schools would handle the situation differently than others.)</p>
<p>A semester of it, yes.</p>
<p>Oh, I get what you’re saying now. Sorry about that 
I’ve never heard of a school doing that before. I thought it was kind of an all-or-nothing thing - you either pass the whole year or fail the whole year.</p>
<p>I know my school would round up. Ask about extra credit.</p>
<p>All of the schools in my area do the semester repeat system. Because it’s pointless to remediate something you’ve already passed.</p>
