Curious- what happens if you fail a med school exam?

For example the end of year ones?

You get a chance to resit them at some universities, at others you have to resit the entire year.

And at some, in certain exams, if you fail the resit you will be asked to leave and cannot repeat the year

UCAT is an entrance exam for med, you cannot fail that. You can score badly though, which would make it harder to get into med.

Many do not operate this policy, but for those that do, it is OSCE exams (or equivalent) that you need to pass
