What are your options for retaking the unit you failed?

You're going to need a non-U grade to use that qualification to gain entry to uni. Do you have any other qualifications, by any chance?

I don’t have any other qualifications that’s the only thing and I don’t know I need to find out on Monday or Tuesday by calling up the college I passed everything got some merits too it’s that exam that I failed with unclassified grade

Definitely call them on Tuesday (they'll be closed tomorrow due to the bank holiday) and ask about resitting that one unit.

The resit rules here say: "Resit Rules for BTEC Nationals: Learners are permitted to resit the external assessment twice. This equates to THREE attempts in total - one inclusive of registration, the remaining two attempts as re-sits."

Do I call the uni or college If I can re sit on November I should be able to go uni on January right and if the resit is on January I will have to wait till next year now isn’t it ?

Most uni courses have a September intake only, unfortunately. Check your intended course, but I'd be surprised if a January start is an option.

Hey, it doesn't work that way okay? If you use your ProPortal, your grades are calculated through points. So let's say you are in year 1, If you have like 80 points but failed a unit, you will still have a M (merit) as a final grade. You can ask your tutor to retake it tho, unless your school policy doesn't accept retakes👍🏾

I’ve already got DDM but I resit one of the units. that unit is a compulsory unit so basically if I don’t pass that unit I fail the course. That’s what I heard from my teacher. So I’m not sure if I’m still gonna be able to go to uni and do the course which I’ve already got the grades for.
