They make the grade (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exams

'they make the grade' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for exams that I've seen before include "Knowledge tests" , "Cut up writing" , "Tests, in short" , "Student assessments" , "Tests for students" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
