Resitting (how does it work)

Hi all

So next week I am resitting product design and my questions is, will my better grade be the one used. So If I get a lower grade this year, will the better one which I got last year be the one used or whatever grade that I obtain now will be used?

Thanks in advance

Yeah i thought it was the new grade as well?
I believe the better grade is used.
It's possible that it isn't the same for every subject, but for all the subjects I've ever done your better grade is used!

I can't seem to find anything online about WJEC product design, but from what I can see most if not all exam boards will take your highest grade if you retake. I think you should just ask your teacher!

Say in the original exam you got a D and in the re-sit you get an A* the A* would count, if you got lower than a D then you would keep the D
"When you have finished taking all the units required by a subject specification, the best marks you got for each unit were 'cashed-in' (or 'aggregated') to give you an overall grade. Your old school will have requested that cash-in for you automatically. When you retake units and want to get a new and improved grade, you simply get the college you retake with to ask for a new cash-in. When that happens, the exam board will issue you with a new grade based on the best results you've got for all the units taken, irrespective of when you took them."

It depends for A level it's whichever grade is best :-)

GCSE on the other hand it's the new grade that counts?

It would be odd if it would be different to the way that they do in A level.

WJEC keeps your highest grade (trust me, I'm doing WJEC for every subject)
