Graduate

They managed to pass all the examinations with mediocre grades, and each received a failing grade in deportment. Nonetheless, they were graduated and given school-Ieaving certificates entitling them to apply for admission to a university. The two were particularly galled by the low grades they received in French since they considered theircommand of the language to be superior to that of the two instructors who had examined them. Scamps that they were, they harassed the instructors.

What is the difference between they were graduated and they graduated ? Any nuance? And does it mean that because of they bad behaviour (scamps) the teachers lowered their mark in French. Thanks
