Popis: This paper contributes to the economics of examination rules. We show how rational students reallocate their learning effort as a response to a charge for the second attempt (resit), a resit mark cap, a variation of the time span between two attempts, and a malus points account. The effort maximizing rule is the malus account, a resit charge delivers the highest overall passing probability.
