According to Polish educational law, re-sit exams (egzaminy poprawkowe) are available to students from the 4th grade of primary school through secondary school (high school/technikum).

: If a student fails the re-sit in August, the Teachers' Council (Rada Pedagogiczna) has the power to promote them to the next grade anyway. This "conditional promotion" is only possible once per educational stage (e.g., once in high school) and only if the subject is continued in the following year.

: Any student who received a final grade of "niedostateczny" (failing) in one or two mandatory subjects.

Re-sit exams are high-stakes assessments conducted under strict procedural guidelines. procedura przeprowadzania egzaminów poprawkowych
