What happens if you fail an exam that makes up 100% of the module?

I am a first year student of Liberal Arts. I have my exam tomorrow and I'm up stressing because im like 99% sure I won't pass. I'm dealing with a lot right now and I've had a really persistent cold (not a mitigating circumstance, I know) that has been giving me a migraine pretty much everyday - basically revising has been a nightmare. Anyways, this worries me because the exam makes up the entire grade for this module and the guidelines on the KCL website aren't clear on whether or not I can retake the exam in August. Any advice will be appreciated!

Hi @Anonymous

I am not sure about the policies at your university, however typically there is an opportunity to resit exams at university.
I would recommend contacting your course team or personal tutor to ask for specific advice. They should be able to let you know if you would get an opportunity to resit and how that process would work.

Hope that helps and good luck with your exam!
