I didn't do well in my second year (have to do retakes for modules) I tried to also look into my university for advice on repeating the year. My university either doesn't allow students to retake or you have to have EC so that you can explain how the event or illness effected your learning. If there was a way I would honestly take it in a heartbeat. I am certain that I won't graduate with a 2.1 but there isn't much I can do now. Just hope there are companies that accept 2.2.
