Guys if i fail my third year at uni, does that mean that if i redo it i will be refered for all my subjects?

[StyLeZ]

I don't even understand your question.

[misssmiley12]

why? was i not clear?

If you retake any modules in your final year, you'll be capped to a D- (40 % ) any respectable Uni would do this to stop people claiming 'extreme personal circumstances' coz they didn't put enough effort into their final year - and to protect those people that do. Unless of course you truly do, and then you'll have to see your Course Leader ASAP and let it be known, and don't even take the exams in the first place. A no sit is easier to deal with than a sit and excuse........

My tip is, don't leave it to fate, make absolutely sure you pass - with the score you want. Personally I don't believe anyone who says - it was because of this and because of that - all lies.

depends, I failed one of my subjects in my third year, only by a couple marks but they let it through (basically didn't really care about that subject but my other ones were quite high)

if you fail it overall then yeah you will have to do it all again, unless you have the opportunity for re-sits, which you normally do but only on the failed the subjects, it doesn't affect the ones you passed

What are you predickted? And what are you studying? And PM me your physical dimensions.....

[misssmiley12]

Well 2.1 but im not happy with it. id like a first personally. so i thought maybe if i failed i could redo and get a first!!

[Evil_Genious]

Nah don't work like that, this isn't Pakistan and your daddy isn't a DCP Constable.

[misssmiley12]

No my mum wants a first from me. most likely if my bro gets a first and i dont ill be remembered the bad one.

lol at gettin 2.1 and being the bad one, you have the same job opportunities if you get a 2.1, in fact the difference is mainly what you show on your cv and the job interview i.e. experience and ability to answer their questions. you could very well get a 2.1 and get a better job.


but you should be aiming for a 1st of course, just don't be too disappointed with a 2.1.


if you fail you can only get a maximum mark of a pass which is like 40 marks (40% ) I think, a first is 70 marks (70% ) and over average.


may differ at universities but not from my knowledge.

LOL - Only an asian can say this.

You know, I think if you retake a module or sumet you lose your "Honours"? So I perhaps you could retake something with the caveat of losing your Honours. So you get a 1st Class... Depends, but I really think the whole point is to stop people from exploiting loopholes. Coz everyone starts diggin out death certificates, doctors notes and sob stories to get a chance at retaking. But that is kinda a kick in the balls to people that are actually puttin in the work. If you do get a First - and I wish you the best, you'll be happy that your uni stops that shit. Unis that allow wanton retakes are normally rated low in industry - coz they let dickeds through.

To get a First you have to literally have no social life and has to start in your second year. You pretty much already have to have a 1st at the end of your second year. That means all the module scores which are carried over have an average of 70 % or more.

Then in your final year you get another average of 70 % or more in the subjects that count toward your classification. Once you get that, you're home and dry. I made so sure that I got a First I pretty much changed my whole lifestyle..... At my Uni you needed something like AAAB AAAAAABB to get a 1st Class. Not easy and takes planing which started in 2nd year.

[misssmiley12]

LOL its just a typical bengali thing. Me and my bro are always compared!! but its okay i will try my hardest! thanks though!

[Evil_Genious]

What are you studying?
