Hey guys,
I'm a 2nd year microbiology student. I got a first in my 2nd year. I've had to do a resit for an exam component of a 15 credit module that is not essential for my degree and I don't know if I've done well in it at all. Do you think I'll be able to go into 3rd year if i fail the exam?
I've got above a pass mark in the overall module that I had to retake my exam. I have above 40% which is the minimum needed to pass the module already so failing the exam component won't change the overall mark by much as I would still get above 40%.
Im just worried because it's a retake and I don't know if I can enter the 3rd year with a failed exam component but an overall passed module.
Thanks!!!

You need to check with your own university regulations as it varies by university. Some universities stipulate that you have to get a pass mark in the exam as well as the overall module. Some universities don't count coursework marks if you have to resit. Some universities allow you to carry a certain amount of failed credits.
