parcial non liberatorio part passed mid-term - non-exempting (hurdle exam)

Explanation:
Hurdle examination was used in my day in the UK and still is Down Under in Oz.

It may also depend on the UK institution aimed at. In professional / vocational exams, some accounting/law etc. Examining Bodies enter 'part outstanding passed to complete the qualification'.

Example sentence(s):

Hurdle requirement – an assessment requirement identified in the course profile that must be satisfied in order to receive a specific grade.
