Re-sitting/submitting coursework - Is it possible?

This is for my media studies which I somehow got a grade D in. With the written sections I got a 2 very good B grades but the coursework (obviously) pushed me down a grade.

If you want to resubmit the coursework, you have to resit the exam aswell. I only wanted to resit my exams because i got A's in all my courseworks, but im not allowed, the cwk has to be resubmitted to. It comes as a package.

I don't have to re-do my coursework, i just resubmit the exact same piece. Theres only so many things you can put in a piece of coursework, it would be impossible to completely change it and still get good/full marks like i need to. They don't check if it's the same piece, they don't need to.

Maybe it depends on the exam board. What exam board is that for? Mine's AQA for science.

So if I redid a module/unit then I wouldn't have to resit everything else, BUT if I resubmit my coursework, I would have resit everything else? :eek:

My exam board is OCR and I want to redo my "foundation production".

Yes you can re-sit your coursework.

I'm doing it in AS History, and it's a different essay question to the one I got last year.

Also, I don't have to re-do my examined units again.

If you want to re-submit your coursework, you have to resit the exam that was in the same module as the coursework. I don't know how the modules work for your subject, but for example, in science, the coursework was part of module 3, so if i wanted to re-submit it, id have to resit the mod 3 exam.

What exam board? What unit? With coursework especially, lost of regulations depend on the board and even the school. If you got a D in a coursework-only unit, you must submit new coursework because you are retaking the unit.
