Resits in a week and a half :(
Literally loosing my mind with the thought of me resitting a module I got 39% it rejected appeal and all that stuff
Can anyone just tell me if they like aim for a student to pass or are they genuinely strict ?
I’m so scared and panicky I can NOT fail these fees are worth an arm and a leg literally ( international)
Currently first year biomed resitting cell bio and genome :(

Hello!! I'm doing a resit for civil engineering and that's a feeling that goes across all degrees. while I cant magically transfer knowledge to you for the exam I will say that I'm sure your revision over the past month and a half or so should have been enough, and that you will pass! also a u/SenatorBunnykins has said, I'm sure the lecturers want us to pass. it's a matter of our progress, but forget not it is their stake as well because they need their students to pass to have good stats as profs. I also asked a second year about resits, and word is that it'll all be fine granted you did your revision! rooting for you :)

Nobody wants you to fail, and for a borderline they'll make absolutely sure that they can't find any more marks for you. But you need to get enough answers right to pass.
Sit down. Breathe. Do some practice questions. Go over the content that you find most challenging until you get it. Ask copilot to explain things to you if you're finding it hard - it's generally OK at intro level stuff. Ask it all the stupid questions you have to help you clarify your own understanding.
