Steffen Walter Apr 27, 2004:
Exactly, Trudy, exam credits transferred from another institution or previously achieved exam results credited by RWTH Aachen, however you wish to put this.
Maria Ferstl Apr 27, 2004:
In Greece the Greek equivalent is used exactly for the case of students who have begun their studies at another university.
Maria Ferstl Apr 27, 2004:
The person concerned could also have studied physics (or some subject for which it was compulsory) before, so that he/she needn't take it again. That "transcript" sounds strange, but perhaps it is a word-by-word translation from another language.
Non-ProZ.com Apr 27, 2004:
Steffen You mean like "transfer credit?" That's a possibility I guess. It was translated as "transcript," which I don't understand.

pass? / credited

I'd guess the above here, which would fall between "nicht ausreichend" (fail) and "befriedigend" (satisfactory). Provided this is correct, he/she would have *just* passed the math and physics exams. (Big question mark, though, as "pass" would normally be "ausreichend".)

The second possibility would be that he/she took (and passed) the math and physics exams at another institution. These were then "anerkannt" (credited) by the RWTH Aachen.
Peer comment(s):
agree David Hollywood : I would go with ¨credited¨ as I think these exams have been taken at other institutions but I´m not 100% on this.

agree Maria Ferstl : Yes, with David. I have taken some of the exams necessary for my Austrian diploma in Greece, and it states exactly how many hours are "anerkannt".

agree Fantutti (X) : If we're n o t dealing with a transfer credit here, I'd go for 'pass'. But who knows?

Please note my slight skepticism re. "pass" as this would normally be "ausreichend" in German (not "anerkannt).
agree Narasimhan Raghavan : This seems to be equivalent to the French grade "reçu" and in that case, it indicates "just passed"

agree Ingrid Blank : agree with Narasimhan

agree Elvira Stoianov : we also have "anerkannt" in Romania, definitely refers to when you change from one institution to another, or e.g. when you change in univ from electr. eng. to mechanics, some subjects are similar (aneraknnt), so you take exams for those you didn't have
