Altair academies don’t do grades. At the end of the year, each class gives out a pass/fail final exam to make sure that the material covered was properly understood and retained. In order to give cadets one last chance to identify and rectify their problem areas, a practice exam is given a few weeks before the real one takes place. Cadets unable to pass their exams are dropped from the program they’re in.

This is understandably a stressful time for those who consider themselves academically weak.
