Wjec criminology year 1

I got a C and a C in the first two units, if I retake them, will I just be given the better grades or will it override these grades, was hoping to get a B in both 😐

Hey @Vir3 👋

Firstly, congratulations on obtaining Cs in the first two units - whilst these grades may not meet your expectations, you should still be super proud of them!

If you choose to retake these exams and obtain Bs in your re-sits, this will override your current C grades. Remember, though, that resits will add additional work next year - rather than resitting, you could consider perhaps focusing on trying to gain a B in your next couple of units (assuming that there are 4) to try to get a B overall?

In my sociology A Level, I gained a C and C at AS level, I then gained an A and C in A-level and ended up with a B overall.

Have a think, and best of luck with what you choose to do.

Hi, can I just check if you're WJEC (in Wales) or Eduqas (in England)? :smile:

Ah ok, so the rules in England mean you have to resit the whole qualification rather than specific units – and the most recent result is the one that counts.
