    anyone know what the story is ?

    failed 4 exams in the year of 2008-2009 .... then failed them in the repeats...

    decided to repeat them externally .... passed two in the meantime, but failed the other two (once in the 2009 - 2010 Semesters and this summers repeats)

    was told you can only repeat an exam 4 times ... but what happens now is that me failed from the course completely or do i just hav to re-do those modules ?

    if its the latter is it possible to do them in the evening (i know they'll hav to be paid for) and continuing on the next year of the course ?

    I know what its like to fail something repeatedly I failed my Massage exam Anatomy and physiology 4 times but I finally passed after doing it for a fiffth time it's all about going into the exam and assuring yourself that know as much as you possibly can and that you'll pass I was always nervous going into exams but I finally stopped after hearing those few lines which is why I now have a diploma in Massage!!!
    Just keep working at it and you'll get in the end!!

    I know of someone who got a 5th chance to pass an exam although technically "you're out" it may be no harm going to your year mentor and asking him/her of the possibility of carrying it, there will be paperwork involved I think, hope this helps :)

    There was a change in the regulations last January, and it did away with the whole 4 lives rule. Students now have unlimited chances to pass a module. The only way this can be over-ruled is if there is a cap on attempts in the programme document. Talk to the exams office.
