-> First, students want to pass the highest level exam possible because
-> success on the more difficult exams gives them greater educational
-> and vocational options. Second, only the highest score a student
-> receives in a subject will be recorded. For example, a student who is
-> proficient at the General level in a subject will probably take the
-> Credit level exam as well. If the student fails the Credit level exam
-> and gets a 7, but receives a 3 on the General level exam, only the 3
-> will be recorded. Thus the system encourages students to reach as
-> high as possible without risk of penalty.
I like that. Nice to offer students the option of taking both, and good
to see them encouraged to achieve to their potential.
