    Could anybody let me know what the attitude of the Big 4 towards a repeat in exam results. During Second Year I failed two modules due to contracting an illness during my exams. I have a doctors cert for this. Should I include the repeat result or the original one?

    Also with regards to the "Grade Obtained" section do they want it in % terms or 1:1/2:1?

    Most applications will include a section whereby you can mention circumstances which might have affected exam results.
    It's worth your while applying if all your other results are good you'll have to include all your undergrad results anyway and this may indicate if your two failures were blips.
    Best of luck with it anyway.

    If you repeated the exam with extenuating circumstances and got a higher grade then there's no need to give them the original one. It is the higher grade that will appear on your transcripts.

    The grade obtained sections usually tell you what format they want it in. I think pwc were 2.1 etc. If not, personally I would go with A+, B- etc.
