Spanish term or phrase: Corte
Hello,
I'm translating a Colombian high school transcript and the term "Corte" appeared as "1er Corte, 2ndo Corte, 3er Corte, 4to Corte."
It's next to "Ausencias" in a table.

Gracias de antemano!

English translation:Cut-off score
Explanation:
The term "cut-off score" refers to the lowest possible score on an exam, standardized test, high-stakes test, or other form of assessment that a student must earn to either “pass” or be considered “proficient.”

As per Taña's references and the others.
I don't understand why none of our colleagues posting the references is willing to post a solution. Thanks largely to their input, I'm quite convinced that it refers to a cut-off score, grade (USA) or mark (UK).

agree  Helena Chavarria: I didn't post because Taña was first and I wasn't 100% convinced whether or not it was the right term. I've seen cut-off grade/mark/point/score.

Asker: Very helpful thanks, I wasn't sure if referred to a unit of time like a semester or period, but in this case it's more like a project that isn't graded.

"The cut-off mark is the mark of the last student who gained admission to a degree with limited places.
It is important to point out that this information is not known until the process of pre-registration and registration is finished. Thus, the published cut-off marks are always for guidance only, as they refer to the previous year.

There are different cut-off marks depending on the group from which the access to the degrees with limited places is applied for."
