Hebrew term or phrase: סיכויים
"לתלמיד סיכויים טובים לעמוד בבחינות" and
"מומלץ לתלמידים שיש להם סיכוי לעמוד בדרישות"
In both cases "Chances" are not appropriate (too chancy and unprofesional). Would you recommend "The student(s) has/have prospects to accomplish the necessary requirments / the tests" or use the term probablity.
This is for an terminology sheet for evaluations levels.
