5 Ideas How to Plan Your Resit
No one likes the idea of resitting either coursework or an exam, however planning your resit and passing second time around is a lot better than failing twice. This is a short article that outlines some of the best ways to prepare yourself for a resit so that you’re fully prepared and stress free in the run up to your resit.
Talk to your tutor
The person who is going to know exactly why you failed the first time around is the person who set the paper. It might be the case that you’ve never spoken to your tutor one to one before, but now it is important that you put yourself on the right course of action. Even if you don’t feel like seeing them face to face it really would serve you well to at least send them an email.
Talk to your friends
Ask around your friends and find out who did the best. Once you know who has got the highest grade, you will be able to ask them for advice, it might be that they are looking at the work from a different perspective. It is always a good idea to ask about, there is a reason that they passed and you didn’t and if you work out why then you’re likely to be wary the second time around.
