It has been a tiring and an exhausting
year at the university or the college. Waking
up early in the morning and going to bed late at night after all the exhausting
day. but its all over now. And now you can focus on all that summer sun and fun! Is that what you
think. You go to the university and you get your results back. You turn your
head. The results don't come back as you expected. You are required to have a
resit in the exam in the next august. Don’t worry. Here is a simple guide that
will
help you get through you resit exam.
You wont be given the same exam as you got originally. But it is known that the format of the exam is always the same. The distributing of the long and short questions remains the same in the resit exam. The resit exam is granted the status of first attempt if you had missed the first exam entirely based on sickness or medical illness. If this is not the case, the resit marks are usually capped. With capped it means that even if you score more than 80% in the resit exam, the marks that have been recorded for the module will eventually be much lower.

that count the reasons based on which
you could not sit in the original exam. These include as certain mishaps in
the family or deaths or illness in the family.

resit exams, the students must step upbeat. It can be hard and less motivating
to study in the summer holidays when all
else are having fun. But this is important and this is the main priority. Once

trying again is the main idea that leads to more success. When you appear in the

coming next. The student needs to make decisions on how the time can be used in
a n effective manner. The students need to know that the resit exams are
different than the normal exams. In the case of the capped exams, it is seen

resit is to be sure that you can earn almost 60 to 70% marks in the module.
The reliable and a more timely
revision plan is needed for the resit. Simply reviving
the textbooks and the revision material
is not enough. It is important that the notes and the past paper material
that has been gathered is revised timely.
