Hi

My students always keep asking me the following question: How do you say "exentar un examen" in English?" and I don �t know the answer. Does anybody know? |

Pass out the exam? Free from the exam? Exempt the exam? I don �t know. |

The Oxford Spanish Dictionary says that "exentar" is a Mexican word meaning "to exempt," as in "some medical conditions exempt you from military service" or "a high grade may exempt you from the exam." �Hope this helps! |

You might mean �an exam exemption �. This means the student is �exempt � from doing the exam - they would be credited with passing their study without having to sit their exam.
Just an idea. If I find out more I �ll let you know... |
