Spanish term or phrase: reprobado / desaprobado
El diploma da una escala de calificaciones:
0 a 9: reprobado
10 a 39: desaprobado.
¿Alguna manera de no repetir "failed" para ambos casos? No le veo la diferencia, pero en el certificado aparece así... ¡Gracias!

Flunked / Unapproved


Explanation:
El término "Flunked" significa exactamente "Reprobado", y se refiere a que un alumno no alcanzó cierto valor de una nota para aprobar una materia. En esta caso NO se puede tener una segunda oportunidad para repetir una prueba dada. Aparece en cualquier diccionario de la lengua inglesa. Ver el siguiente vínculo entre otros: http://www.wordmagicsoft.com/diccionario/en-es/flunked.php

El término "Desaprobado" podría indicar que aunque no se alcanzó una cierta nota o registro (en el caso de la aprobación de una norma o de una institución) para ser aprobado, sí se obtuvo una nota que permite, por ejemplo, realizar otra prueba (o aplicación en el caso de normas o instituciones). No estoy muy seguro de ello, pero lo creo bastante posible. Su traducción al inglés es "Unapproved". También aparece en cualquier buen diccionario inglés.

Example sentence(s):
  • The teachers flunked John
  • Below are some name of Unapproved Colleges

Explanation:
From what I have read, it seems like 40 is the minimum grade for passing. That said, the second of those two categories seems to be an in between one.
