How do resits work?
A resit is a further attempt to pass a module. The mark you get for a resit assessment is capped at the pass mark for the assessment. Assessments on Level 7 modules are capped at 50% while assessments on modules at level 6 or lower are capped at 40%. The uncapped mark is shown on your transcript.
Are resit exams capped?
You will not be penalised, the mark will not be capped, and you will normally be allowed to resit at the next opportunity. This is usually during the same academic year – either during Semester 2, or in the summer break. Remember that a MC claim only covers one assessment attempt.
