Gen Nav resit

mmmmmm, well on my first attempt I got the fantastic and real satisfying fail of 74%. Seemed to be quite a few of these 74% marks if I recall at the time for a lot of people. Just seemed a little odd. Anyhow, I put the paper in for re-marking and the result came back as correct.

Yes I was disappointed and hoped it would come back as a pass but on reflection, I am glad I had to take it again because rather than a pass at 75%, I now got myself an 83% - better for the overall average.

Guys these fails, particularly this close to the pass mark are real frustrating and by all means try and get a remark. But if you can take the opportunity to do even better in a resit then go for it!!

Also happened to me in Performance. First sitting fail 74%, 2nd time 94%.

Good luck to you all, these exams are a tough part of the training and just have to be done. Try to enjoy it is the best thing I found - can make it a bit easier than just believing that its just another exam to pass.
