The term lock box has several meanings.

Locked subject and exam preparation

A blocked compartment is used to make specialist literature for a course (books, magazines, scripts) available to all students for exam preparation. Lending is not possible, as a rule only copying or viewing is possible in the reading room of a library .

Locked subject as an examination subject

The term blocked subject is used in exams that consist of several parts (subjects). The subject designated as a restricted subject must - regardless of the result of the other subjects - be assessed as "passed" (ie with at least sufficient performance) so that the overall examination is passed.

The contents of the lock box are considered particularly important for the respective exam.

The following example of the (in Germany) recognized training profession florist (ordinance of February 28, 1997, amended on July 2, 2002) illustrates the effect of a locked compartment:

In order to pass the theoretical examination, at least an average of 50 percent (or points) is required in three subjects - technology, merchandise management, economics and social affairs. Regardless of this, however, at least 50 percent (or points) must be achieved in the subject technology alone in order to successfully pass the theoretical examination. The subject technology is therefore a restricted subject here.
