Bonjour Jennifer !
Yes, here we mean the same thing, as often passing an exam is equivalent to receiving the corresponding degree in English.
"In French, to say that you passed an exam (meaning succeeded in it), or that you received/got a degree, you can use the verb 'avoir' and the name of the exam or degree."
I hope that's helpful!
Bonne Année !

I got my ba vs i received my ba
In the lesson il,a eu so ba is translated as he got his ba but in the quiz as he received his ba. Are they the same. Received seems like an award ceremony but got more like passed?
This question relates to:
French lesson "Avoir un exam = To pass an exam"
