Not saying they will be, I do biomed and I have Jan exams, but, some of my friends at Royal Holloway who do Computer Science don't have Jan exams. Depends on the uni + course. =)

Oh right cool, so for Econ or Maths are the modules distributed throughout the year?
Usually it's at the end of the semester but occasionally it's end of year, like at my uni the biomeds only had summer exams for the first year but have January exams thereafter.
So the marks out of 100 are capped at 40, is there even any point in retaking? Isn't 40/100 a third anyway?
If you have gotten less than 40 overall on your module you have to resit it.
Hypothetical situation: Exam is worth 80% Coursework is worth 20% You get 100% on your coursework, but only get 30% in your exam. Your overall score is 44, but if you resit your exam and get the 40%, your overall score will now be 52 which is now a 2:2.

Yes, 40% is a third.
Thanks for the information you clarified it a lot
I have no intention of doing this - but was thinking wouldn't it be better for someone to retake the year instead of taking a 40 for an exam?
