Alternative options for accounting if failed 2nd year uni exam resit.

Hey everyone! I’m in a bit of a pickle and could really use your advice. I’m currently in my second year of an accounting degree, but I’m worried I might flunk my exam resit and not make it through. If I end up failing, I’m wondering what my options are to still pursue a career in accounting. I’ve got one more year of student loans available after this year, but if I can’t use that, I’m not sure how I’d manage to pay for it myself. Any tips or suggestions on how I can still make this work? I believe I'm unlikely to fail but it's nice to have a bit of reassurance and knowledge of options to keep my head up. Thanks a ton!

How many credits is the module you're having to resit the exam for? Even if you can't pass, so you think you can scrape 30% (or did you do so when you originally sat it)?
The reason I ask is that many universities have a rule (typically called condonement or compensation) whereby if you fail a resit, but you almost pass (typically 30%, or occasionally 35%) and the module is relatively small, then they'll turn a blind eye to the failure and award you the credits anyway. That would be by far the simplest solution to your current situation.
What uni are you at? (They all have different rules when it comes to this type of thing.)

It's 15 credits and the only assessment for the module. I'm at Leeds Trinity.

Thanks. Did you manage to achieve 35% in the original attempt? Do you think you might be able to manage it in the resit? The reason I ask is that Leeds Trinity do apply the concept of "compensation", as outlined above. From their Taught Programme Academic Regulations 2024-25, within the Bachelor’s Degree Programme Regulations section.
"Compensation
20. If you have failed to meet the pass standard to progress to the next level of study compensation is permitted for one failed module only up to a maximum of 30 credits with a mark no lower than 35% provided that:
a. The overall arithmetic mean mark for the level is equal to or greater than 40%; and
b. All other modules are passed and credits awarded.
21. Progression to the next level of study will be permitted with compensation and the award of credits for that module."
So your target for that assessment (and hence module) is now 35%, not 40%.
