Education / Pedagogy / Academic Transcript | | Spanish term or phrase: supletorio | I am translating an academic transcript from a university in Ecuador. The student's grades are based upon three exams. If they are in danger of not passing the course, it seems that they are given the option of an additional exam to raise their average for the course. The column with the score for this extra exam is "Supletorio."
Any thoughts on how to render this term? |

| Grading comment While all of the answers were helpful, I felt that "retake" best fit the context I was working in. Thank you!
