Why would you want to re-take MOD3 again
What grade do you want

You can probably sit it at your school if you ask to pay for the entry
Unit 3 is terminal meaning you can only take it once, whereas you can retake unit 1 and unit 2 as many times as you like, hope this helps.

thanks for the replys, my teacher said he shouldnt think i should resit as he thinks i can get the grade i need on the last one, is it too late to go back and resit unit 1 or 2?

Neither of those statements is true

If you need to resit either (or both) of those then you also have to re-sit Unit 3 as it is the terminal exam

Since that means you will be sitting >75% of the curriculum you may as well sit the linear

ok so there is no way i can take unit 3 in june at another school, and if i want to do modular examinations i will have to do them all again or just take linear. just to clarify. many thanks by the way

I do not think that you would be able to take a single unit at another centre

You could retake 1+3 or 2+3 or 1+2+3 or just 3 at your school if they let you and assuming that you have not used up your re-take chances on 1 or 2

If you were going to retake 2 or more units, linear would make more sense
