Gotta Pass the Class	comment	A common plot taking place in a school setting will have a student being told that they are failing one or most of their classes, and if they don't get their grades up, then they'll have to go to summer school or maybe even be forced to repeat the grade. The student may be afraid of not passing and will start buckling down and do the work, or they may be lazy and not care if they fail. The focus character for these types of stories are usually the kind who suck at academics in general, have the attention span of a fruit fly, have some sort of learning disability, or are a delinquent. They may end up having trouble studying at first due to distractions, not understanding the material, or just not giving a crap, but in the end, they'll end up pulling it together and pass, sometimes with flying colors. Usually, the character has to study for a big test that will determine whether they pass or fail, but some plots have the character needing to do well on a project, do some sort of extra credit, or complete a bunch of assignments that they never turned in. Sometimes a student needs to get their grade up because they can't play for the sports team anymore if they don't, they're part of a club and must maintain good grades in order to be able to participate, or they won't be allowed to go on a school trip. Out-of-school punishments such as being grounded by their parents are also a threat they may have to face if they fail. Expect the character to be a Ridiculous Procrastinator. In many works, especially in Asia, this cues the parents to hire a Private Tutor for their child. Can overlap with Sextra Credit if the student sleeps with the teacher to improve their grade. For lazy or time-pressured pupils, there is always the unsavory way of shortcutting your way to success via School Grade Hacking. This is sadly Truth in Television — a lot of people have this as a motive.

Gotta Pass the Class / int_261c8d3f	comment	In The Simpsons episode "Bart Gets an 'F'", Bart is in danger of failing fourth grade and must study for a big test. As much as he tries to study and apply himself, he still fails with just one point below passing. Thankfully, Mrs. Krabappel ends up giving him an extra point when he rattles off an obscure fact, thus showing that he really did try hard to study.

When Ms. Walsh doesnâ€™t teach them, Johanna even goes so far as to draw up a lesson plan for her to use - and it actually is a good one. However, since the whole class is part of a secret experiment, it is implied that they would have gotten credit just for showing up.

Jacob does most of the work, but quickly loses his patience and sanity when the bullies destroy every project he comes up with, eventually deciding on doing a potato clock. However, the bullies take it a step further and make a giant one out of a grandfather clock and hundreds of potatoes which ends up causing power surges and electromagnetic fields all over the city until its destroyed and turned into a giant volcano. Despite all of this, the science professor gives all of them an A+ on their project.

Mouse offers to tutor her, but Girl proves to be so hopelessly and completely inept at science (she couldn't even get the names of animals found in a children's science book right) that she decides to steal one of Mouse's inventions to pass off as hers. Mouse finds out and sabotages the next invention Girl takes, only for it to malfunction and almost destroy everything in sight if not for the construction of a giant baking soda volcano to send it into space. Girl's science teacher is so impressed that she gives her a passing grade, although Mouse declares that she's never allowed in his lab again, which Girl agrees is probably for the best.

Sitting between Snips and Snails means she needs them to pass exams (when they've been flunking every year) so she'll have ponies she can copy from. This eventually leads to her tutoring both of them, while telling their parents that she has to teach their sons or be punished, under Cheerilee's orders — simply because they don't believe she would ever help anypony. Cheerilee reacts to learning about this by allowing Diamond to proceed with tutoring, because the lie says she can be punished if they fail — and Diamond forgot to specify what the punishment was.

To keep his father from learning his grades are slipping he goes to a play on his own time to write an essay about it for extra credit. In this case he wasn't really in danger of failing, but he's worried his father will use his less than perfect grades as an excuse to ship him back to boarding school, even though he'd rather just test out entirely.

Johnny eventually decides to do wood shop to get his grades up, but refuses to build a simple wood bench because Teacherman is teaching the class and Johnny doesn't like being told what to do. It takes an out of control hi-tech wood bench built by Literal-Minded construction drones and inspiring words from Teacherman for Johnny to swallow his pride and finally build the bench himself, earning an A.

The day before the test, Buster imagines just how awful it would be to get held back and studies as hard as he can. The next day, he passes with a B+.

All of them refuse to study, Thad especially because Shiloh is forced to tutor them as he has a high GPA, but Alex finds a way around it by hanging out with the professor's elderly mother and secretly performing sexual activities for her in exchange for an A-. The other guys do the same, until they're caught and forced to take the test anyway. That is until they come up with a plan to blackmail the professor into giving them all Cs by threatening to post a live video of the guys having sex with his mother all over campus, to which he breaks down and obliges to.

Extra Credit" episode of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, Ned finds out he has a C plus in health, social studies, math, and English. Having promised his mother he wouldn't bring home a grade lower than a B, he begs for some extra credit, and all four teachers agree... provided he turns in a project by the end of the week. Through some Loophole Abuse, he winds up being able to use the same project for all of the classes, which initially pisses his teachers off. However, he and his classmate Claire successfully argue that there Ain't No Rule in the school handbook saying he can't use the same project for multiple subjects, and the teachers admit the scheme was actually pretty clever—and the project is genuinely good, so they agree to bump up his grades in their classes to a B minus. His promise comes up again in the third-to-last segment, "Tests," where he seeks help from the geeks in order to pass three major tests (which are implied by circumstances to actually be the 8th. grade final exams) in order to pass all classes with a B.

Cue a Hard-Work Montage of the students studying. Although some people eventually failed the practical examnote The teams of Kirishima and Sato, as well as Ashido and Kaminari, failed to complete the objective in the time limit. Sero was quickly rendered unconscious, and did poorly enough that he failed despite his partner Mineta passing. Aizawa tells Uraraka and Aoyama that they barely passed, Aizawa clarifies that everyone gets to attend the training camp, but the ones who flunked have to attend additional classes during the camp. To gain more experience at an internship, the students of Class 1-A and 1-B are required to pass a special exam to earn their provisional hero licenses, which is usually reserved for second and third-year students. By the end, all of the U.A. students pass except for Bakugo and Todoroki- the former for his Jerkass attitude and the latter for getting into a dispute with another student and nearly hitting a third party with his flames, who are subsequently forced to go to remedial classes for a makeup in the winter and subsequently fall Out of Focus as a result.

Instead, Rally Girls complete his assignments so he can meet the University Interscholastic League (UIL) requirement that student-athletes must be passing all academic courses to be eligible to participate in extracurricular activities. While Tim doesn't see any point in trying since he believes he has a dead end future, Tammy is determined that he learn basic writing skills and demands he pass his English class on his own with at least a 70 (lowest possible passing grade in the state of Texas) or she'll report his behavior to UIL making him ineligible for the state playoffs. Passing requires him to read the book Of Mice and Men and write a report on it. Tammy assigns Landry to help him. After some back and forth bickering, Landry goes as far as reading the book to Tim audiobook-style and writing down Tim's verbal musings. In the end, Tim does get a C on the paper, allowing him to remain eligible to play.

While the Student Six are having a Shared Dream that begins as a nightmare for each of them, Ocellus claims that she somehow missed a class for the entire year and the final is today, and if she does not pass she can't graduate.

Gotta Pass the Class / int_d26874b6	comment	In the eighth Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, Vice Principal Roy tells Greg's mom that he hasn't been doing his assignments (Fregley threw all of his books to some wild kids in the woods), and if his grades don't improve, then he'll have to go to summer school. Thankfully, Greg manages to complete his assignments and get his grades back up.

Gotta Pass the Class / int_d4efb984	comment	In an early episode of The Golden Girls, Blanche goes back to college to complete her degree. She does well in most of her classes, but really struggles in history. Unfortunately, when she goes to her professor to ask for help, he responds by offering to pass her if she sleeps with him. Blanche refuses to do so, and is initially devastated because she thinks she'll fail for sure, but then thinks about it and gets so angry that she studies incessantly for days to make damn sure she aces the final on her own.

He does so... but Oskar ends up eating it anyway, which gives Kick less than six minutes to finish it all again. He defies the odds and does just that.

In seasons 1 and 2, poor grades bench him from playing lacrosse or attending the student dance. Later in the series, he really focuses to bring up his grades to a more acceptable level in hopes of going to college, but he's never a particularly stellar student.

His teacher demands he submit a positive review to pass the course and be re-instated to the team, but he refuses as he believes that the book is an In-Universe Shoot the Shaggy Dog story.

The Nakanos passing their classes is not just for their own sake, but for Uesugi's as well, since he'll get fired if he doesn't produce results.
