This is not always true.
Some courses require that you pass the exam to pass the course, regardless of how much the exam is worth. I've taken courses where you must pass the lab component to pass the course, and it's a similar concept. In those courses, weightings and your mark before the exam are irrelevant if you fail the exam (or in my case, lab component).
However, this needs to be stated up front on the course outline. So the OP should really just look at their course outlines to figure out the answer to the question.
