Re-examination and make-up examination are not exactly the same. Make-up exam generally refers to failing an exam and then taking it again at another appointed time. However, the scope of retaking the exam is wider, including not only retaking the exam, but also other reasons that make the original exam invalid and require an appointment to retake the exam.

For example, it is stipulated that a course can only be retaken once, and the notice says that it is retaken, which means that the original exam is unqualified, and finally it is given a chance to retake. If you still fail, there is no chance. If you are told to retake the exam, it is possible that after this exam, if you fail, you will have another chance to retake the exam.

Compared with college exams, students will have another chance to retake the subjects that failed in the final exam at the beginning of next semester. If the make-up exam fails, they must take it again. If you fail to retake the exam after retaking it, you may not get the diploma.

In the 265438+20th century, colleges and universities relaxed the requirements for make-up exams, stipulating that graduation certificates and degree certificates will still be issued as long as the failed courses are less than a certain number of credits and the failed courses are completed before graduation.

You have to complete every course to get a diploma, and your GPA is 1.5 to get a degree certificate. There are also many universities that do not give degree certificates to students who make-up exams for more than a certain number of credits.
