for loop problem

Hi lads new here and right in with my first question!

Im doing an program that according to my introduction

"This java application is used to take in two classes, how many students are in the class and the grades they acheived from that class. It then evaluates the grades by if the person passed, failed and the average grade.
The program will tell you the amount of pass and fails per class. The higher/equalled average grade from each class will be displayed at the end of the program."

A while loop must be used for the first class and a for loop for the second. The while is fine but the for loop wont do what i want. When i enter the number of students e.g 5 it will only ask for 3 grades?. heres what i have so far

/**
* @(#)project2.java
* Enter grades for 2 classes. Use a while loop for one class and a for loop for the other class.
* The user should be asked before entering each class, how many students are in the class and
* the loop will execute that many times to take in the grades.
* Count the number of fails and passes in the class. Tell the user the highest and lowest and average grade from each class.
* Check for non- digits being entered when taking the number of students in the classes.
* Tell the user the name of the class got the better average or if both classes got the same average.
* While loops and for loops are to be used in the project.

heres it in DOS

Any ideas?
