I neatened up my text and used Andrew's terminology.
Thanks to everyone!

Be well, Diana, and happy translating!

On no, it takes much more than that to offend me, and I also know how difficult it is to write something that is succinct, unequivocal and yet understandable for NNS. By the way, that last is a good point - whatever I write, it must be easily understood by the people in examination centres situated in non-English speaking countries (such as Germany!).

but I find the formulation a bit confusing. 'The period of time in which you need only retake the failed part...' or something like that, as it will certainly be read by non-native speakers. I hope this doesn't offend you - I've had years of experience simplifying complex sentences for English students.

The reason I turned it round like this is that for the candidates it IS positive not to have to take both parts of the exam if they have already passed one.

I find confusing. Is that directly from the source text? Why not keep it in the postive? "The failed part of the exam must be taken within...."

07:16 Jan 15, 2014 

Beautifully clear.

If the candidate fails one of the two parts of the examination (the Written or the Oral examination), he or she can retake just the failed part within a set period of time. The period of time within which it is not necessary to retake the complete examination lasts until the last day (December 31) of the calendar year which follows on the year in which the first examination took place. The result of the part which the candidate passed in the first examination will be carried forward to the retaken examination. It then counts towards the final score of the retaken examination.

Adult education, which is classified as 'externe Nichtschülerprüfung', which, stranger than strange, applies to Free Schools - nicht anerkannte Alternativschulen. I used to teach at one. The higher point total will be"credited to the exam repeated/resat/retaken".
Still think that's the best way to express it. Take care!

I know, I haven't been as avid a follower of KudoZ as I was - perhaps I should get back into the habit!
These are European-wide exams aimed at adult learners of English (and other languages) as a "foreign" language. The principle here is the same as in your example - if the candidate has passed one of the parts first time round there is no need for him or her to retake that part because the result of the "passed" part will be "angerechnet" i.e. added to the new result of the part which has been retaken.

Long time, no 'see'. Which education level is concerned here? On the Realschule level it is thus: The student has 97% on his/her written exam, but has failed the oral. If the failed exam is repeated, and passed, within a certain amount of time - let's say three months - the average of both parts is the end grade. This applies ONLY to 'externe Nichtschülerprüfungen'.

Thanks! I did look at the term search and saw these entries. I was/am not sure if they would fit my context and my sentence...

There are many previous entries in the glossary which I believe answer your question. For example: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/law:_contracts/6...
