Character Breakdown

Meaning and Usage

The word 及格 (jí gé) means "to pass an exam or test." It is commonly used in educational contexts to indicate that someone has met the minimum standard required to pass.

Common Contexts

You will often hear 及格 when discussing exam results, course requirements, or any situation where a threshold score or standard must be met.

Collocations and Patterns

These collocations emphasize the minimum standard or threshold needed.

Usage Notes

及格 focuses on meeting the minimum requirement, not on achieving a high score. It contrasts with words like 优秀 (excellent) or (high score). When you say "只要及格可以," it implies that passing is sufficient, without needing to excel.

Common Confusion

Don't confuse 及格 with 通过 (tōngguò), which also means "to pass" but can be used more broadly (e.g., passing a law, passing through a place). 及格 is specifically about exams or tests.

Use 及格 when talking about academic or skill assessments where a standard must be met.

Example Sentences

He finally passed the exam this time.

As long as you pass, it's fine; you don't need to get a very high score.

The passing score for this course is 60 points.
