What grade did the student earn on the second attempt in OCHEM?

• A. A
• B. B+
• C. C
• D. B

Answer: (B)

Understanding what a second attempt score says about performance helps you read these questions. When a student retakes an exam, the grade earned on that second try reflects how well they demonstrated the material on that attempt. A B on the second attempt indicates solid mastery of OCHEM concepts and problem-solving, though not at the top tier. It shows the student can handle most problems correctly and has some room for improvement, which is typical for a second attempt where the student can apply lessons from the first run. The other possible levels would imply either stronger mastery (a higher grade) or weaker mastery (lower grades). Since the result is in the B range, the second attempt is best described as a B.
