It's called a **conditional pass**. In other words the result is a pass, but there are *conditions* attached to it that must be fulfilled in order to get the pass.The main difference between a conditional pass and a fail is that if you resubmit after a conditional pass they only check that you have fulfilled the conditions. If you resubmit something after a fail the entire examination is done again. This terminology is most commonly used in [PhD][1] [exams][2] and [restaurant health inspections][3] and [other][4] [safety][5] [inspections][6], but it can be used in other circumstances as well.
