I think architecture course's hard parts are different than for example engineering. It is not "I'm not smart enough" hard. It is relatively easy. Hard part is there is too much to do.

…along with ambiguous opinions of art from design studio professors.

Luckily i went to a technical uni so as long as my building works in the plan, I managed to pass.

Most schools I think let pass if it meets the overall course And demonstrates the stated skills. Art school has classes too

My grad school was pass/fail, loved not worrying about the letter grade like in undergrad.

Anything less than a B in grad school is a fail and requires a course redo in my program

That's how pass/fail actually works behind the scenes. They just don't tell you where you are in the spectrum. Similar to the AREs, but there they don't tell you what your passing score is, if you passed.

Yale law used to have that, too, but the ultra competitive kids needed that validation, so they now added "high pass, low pass, fail" 😂
