The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.

If the student invokes the debt to pass, it's You Owe Me. If the teacher invokes it to pass the student, it's Makes Us Even.

Is there a trope where a character passes an exam even though they failed it, and this happens because of an unrelated action the character did in the past. "You saved my/father's life" is one that comes to mind. This is specifically not them trying to cheat it. Thanks.
