What is the failure rate in the statistics exam?

01/31/2024 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

The failure rate in statistics exams or assessments can vary significantly and is influenced by various factors. These factors include the difficulty of the exam, the preparation of the students, the quality of teaching, the study materials, and other individual factors.

In the free attempt or in the first attempt, the failure rate at German universities and colleges is regularly over 50%, often even in the range of 80-90%. The average grade is often in the range of 3.0 to 3.5.

It's important to note that failure rates are not uniform and can differ from one university to another, as well as from one semester to the next. In some cases, the failure rate may be low, especially if the exam is perceived as fair and well-prepared. In other cases, particularly with challenging exams or inadequate preparation, the failure rate may be higher.

To obtain accurate information about the failure rate in a specific statistics exam, it is best to consult the respective university. Some universities publish failure rates or exam statistics on their official websites or may provide this information upon request. Additionally, reaching out to instructors or the examination office can be helpful.
