Izvleček: | This paper contributes to the economics of examination rules. We show how
rational students reallocate their learning e¤ort as a response to a charge for the second exam attempt, a cap on the maximum resit mark, an adjustment of the passing standard, a variation of the time span between two attempts, a minimum requirement to qualify for the second attempt, and a malus points account.
