The worst thing in your educational life is to have take a resit. Why? Because it’s lonely and it’s very frustrating. Quite a number of people do not get the grade they want and many do not care. But you are here, so you do care and that means that if you do not get the grade you need you will almost certainly have to take a resit next year. If your friends have the grade they needed and are free to get on with their next set of studies, you will be feeling a bit left out, having to do that extra work that would be unnecessary if only you had tried a bit harder this year
.
There is also the sad fact that although many people do pass a resit, not as many do as you might think. They simply don’t have the motivation to go through the whole examination process with all its associated revision again.
So please make sure you don’t find yourself in that position. Remember that a few extra marks can often push you up over a grade boundary. If you only do what everyone else does in the way of revision, you might get, say, 37% when you need 40% to get the grade you want. By working that bit harder now you can easily get that extra three or four marks and achieve the grade you deserve.
You have been studying mathematics since you were about five years old. Why throw it all away now?
