On the first point, it might have been a combined grade so that the fail is based on doing badly in multiple components. Eg if you take a French exam here, it's

  • 20% aural
  • 55% written
  • 25% oral

We only hear about the oral component because of the interesting story, but decent chance the student was a bozo and bombed the other components too.
