My College policy was that if you paid to resit (which for the OCR exam board is £10.75 per module), that if you improved your grade you got your money back - they send you a form I think and you fill it in and give the College proof of your grade improvement (statement of results) and proof that you paid for the resit (attach your copy of the resit application form) and they process the application, and if it's successful they write you a cheque and you go and collect it after a certain date. (About 3 weeks later!!)

I'm not sure if that's the same for the 2nd/3rd/4th resit etc (or however many you do) as I'm still yet to find this out. This was just the way it worked at my particular College though; other schools and Colleges may have a different system.

Hope this helps! :smile:

Haha, my school paid for many many resits. They wanted to raise the pathetic average grades.

I did two resits in january for film studies and went from a D to an A and a D to a C (close to a B!) and I had to pay to do them :redface:

I wonder if they will pay me back :rolleyes:

I had to pay for mine... but it was subsidised by teh college... it cost me £11

If youre on income support or benefits, you can usually get your money back... and like someone above said, your college/school may have a policy of refunding it if the grades are higher... if they dont have any policies on that though, you probably wont get it back because they dont want to pay for people's mistakes.

It depends on the school or college, so you'll have to ask someone, maybe the exams officer. My school paid for resits :smile:

The cost of resits starts at around £10-15 and gets higher as you get closer to the exam (e.g. the first June deadline is around the start of March, after this it goes up and by the end of May it's over £30 per module!) It's completely up to the school whether you pay or they do after the first time you take a module.

I did wonder why the cost of resits varied at different colleges and schools. My school charges £11.50 per resit regardless of the subject or exam boards and says that price is not subsidised by them.
