Past Perfect/ Past Simple
Exams and qualifications
take/do/sit an exam resit an exam (take it again because you did badly first time) pass (get the minimum grade or more) / do well in (get a high grade) an exam fail (you do not get the minimum grade) / do badly in (you fail, or don't do as well as expected / as well as you wanted) an exam
Before an exam it's a good idea to revise for it. If you skip classes/lectures, you'll probably do badly in the exam, [informal; miss deliberately]
Some schools give pupils tests regularly to check their progress. The school-leaving exams are held in May/June. In England, these are called GCSEs (age 16) and A-levels (age 18). In some schools, colleges and universities, instead of tests and exams there is continuous assessment with marks, e. g. 65%, or grades, e. g. A, B+, for essays and projects during the term. If you pass your university exams, you graduate ['gr?djueit] (get a degree), then you're a graduate ['gr?dju?t] and you may want to go on to a post-graduate course.
Talking about education
In colleges and universities, there are usually lectures (large classes listening to the teacher and taking notes), seminars (10-20 students actively taking part in discussion etc.) and tutorials (one student or a small group, working closely with a teacher).
A professor is a senior university academic who is a well-known specialist in his/her subject. University and college teachers are usually called lecturers or tutors.
