What grade will a trainee receive for TCOLE purposes if they fail an exam and later pass the retest?

For Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) purposes, the grading system for trainees who initially fail an exam but subsequently pass a retest typically allows the trainee to earn a grade of 70%. This standard is in place to reflect an adequate understanding of the material after the opportunity for remediation through the retest. Achieving a passing score on the retest demonstrates the trainee's ability to retain and apply the necessary knowledge, thus justifying the awarding of the 70% grade. This ensures that all trainees have a fair chance at demonstrating competency, while also maintaining a minimum standard for certification. Other grade options do not align with established TCOLE grading policies for retesting scenarios.
