Fail a test twice? Do you mean, fail any two tests, and then bye-

can't remember the last time they did that at my school.)

As Rene said if you fail the repeat test that's the end of it.

You didn't have repeats offered? So people had to drop out after failing
just one? We had to pass all the tests, no exception, else no degree.


Let's see... at UC Davis for my engineering courses (I was in chemical
engineering, so that's all I know), we'd get two (or sometimes just
one - Thermodynamics!) midterm, then a final exam. Midterms typically
25-30% or so each, final maybe 35-40% each, and the difference might
be homework ~10%. You could fail a midterm and still pass the class,
if you did ok on the other midterm and final. They don't do re-tests.

If you fail the class, you take the class again next year (typically
upper division engineering classes are only offered once a year). Or
you could drop out on your own, your choice. You have to maintain a
2.0 GPA overall in your engineering courses, otherwise they throw you
out of the engineering program.
