What is examination failure?

Examination failure refers to the situation where a student or candidate does not achieve a passing grade or score on an examination. This means they didn't meet the minimum standard set by the examiner or institution. The specific definition of "failure" varies depending on the context:

* Specific grade/score: A failing grade might be anything below a certain percentage (e.g., below 50%, 60%, or another threshold).

* Not meeting criteria: Failure might also be defined by not completing required sections of the exam or not demonstrating sufficient understanding of the subject matter, regardless of the numerical score.

* Consequences: Failure can have various consequences, such as repeating the course or exam, delaying graduation, losing a job opportunity (in professional licensing exams), or simply a sense of disappointment and setback.

In short, examination failure is the inability to successfully demonstrate competency as measured by a formal assessment.
