    In the middle of my repeats. I failed 2 modules one with 36% one with 20%, i was wondering if i pass the module that is currently at 20% and fail the other one will i then be eligible for compensation on that module as it states you need to have no modules lower than 35%.

    I didn’t fully understand what you meant but the compensation usually works like this.

    You have two components in a subject. A lab and exam. Say you got 30% out of exam which is 70% (of the module) and 90% in lab which is 30%(of the module) of the component. You automatically fail that module or subject as your exam didn’t reach the threshold of 35% for compensation.

    If you received atleast 35%, your 90% lab can then allow for compensation where you now receive a total module score of 73.59%(35.3*.3+90*.7).
