No matter how well you do in your re-take, you will be given 40% for that exam.
Meaning you can't get higher than 40% for that exam, even if you get 92% when you re-take it.

It means when you retake your grade cannot exceed 40%

It's a clean slate situation and you need to redo whatever part you failed.

For one module I did a presentation and for that I got 76 % and for the other part which was written I got capped at 40% have I passed the module in that case
