To pass a course it is always necessary to have at least 5 points. From my personal experience it seems to be quite easy to pass a course - especially because of the practical part, but it is nearly impossible to get a 9 or even a 10. I've never see a grade better than a 9 on the grade lists at the UC3M. </p> <p> Because the Spanish system doesn't know any winter vacations there is no time for repeating any exams between the first and second term - so all exams are re-written in Septembre. </p> <div> <em>Author: Arno Scherhorn</em></div> </div> </div>  <div id="navBar"> <div id="sectionLinks"> <h3> University Life</h3> <ul> <li><a href="living.html">Living</a></li> <li><a href="courses.html">Courses</a></li> <li><a href="learning.html">Learning</a></li> <li><a href="exams.html">Exams</a></li> <li>Grades</li> <li><a href="sport.html">Sport</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="relatedLinks"> <h3> Related Links</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.uc3m.es/" target="_blank">Universidad Carlos III</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.upm.es/" target="_blank">Universidad Politécnica de Madrid</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.tum.de/" target="_blank">TU München</a></li> </ul> </div> </div>  <div id="siteInfo"> (C) 2008, Stefan Edbauer, Arno Scherhorn, <a href="http://www.juergentreml.de/">Jürgen Treml</a> </div> <br /> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
