Count first-failed taught credits for the route
The standard route is a Resit where first-failed taught credits in the session are 60 or fewer, and a Repeat where they exceed 60. Enter the total affected taught credits for the session, not only the credit size of the single module shown in the component rows. A deferred assessment without a confirmed first failure is not automatically a failed credit. This worksheet handles a numeric taught module under the ordinary route, not Board exceptions or a dissertation reassessment timetable.
Changing the session total from 60 to 61 changes the component treatment. A Resit reassesses only failed components and retains passed component marks. A Repeat reassesses every component of the failed module. The tool does not schedule examinations, calculate tuition charges or authorize a second attempt. Confirm the actual route and any exceptional permission with your department.
Check required components as well as the module mean
The example has an 80% component marked 70 and a 20% must-pass component marked 30. The numeric mean is 62.00, but the required component fails at level 4–6, so the module is not passed. Under a Resit, the passed 70 component is retained and a second mark of 55 on the failed component produces an uncapped module mean of 67.00.
A successful second-attempt numeric module is normally capped at the pass mark: 40.00 at levels 4–6 or 50.00 at level 7. The result shows the uncapped mean and the recorded module mark separately. Where a Resit is required only for a zero-weight pass/fail component, the module mark is not capped. Pass/fail components have to pass, but do not add numeric points or dilute the numeric weights.
A failed Resit differs from a failed Repeat
When a Resit fails, the higher of the two attempts is recorded for each affected component. The tool applies that comparison to component records, not a blanket maximum between two whole-module averages. Passed components stay retained. A failed Repeat instead uses the Repeat marks; it does not automatically restore higher first-attempt marks. Successful Repeat modules still follow the normal second-attempt cap.
A passed or already condoned module cannot be reassessed merely to improve its grade, so those records are rejected rather than advertised as grade-boosting opportunities. Extenuating circumstances, deferrals, substituted modules, professional restrictions, changed syllabuses and additional attempts require individual confirmation. Enter final component percentages after official conversion and any penalties; keep this output as a trace to compare with your record, not a replacement transcript.
